Temple of the Sun; Capitol Reef national park, Utah, US. “The Milky Way core rises before dawn under the southern skies of Capitol Reef national park’s ‘Temple of the Sun’. This area of the Colorado Plateau desert, known for its domes, hoodoos, fins, reefs, natural bridges and slot canyons, includes the Temples of the Sun and Moon. These Jurassic-aged sandstone monoliths, which formed as sandy mud on a tidal flat, tower above the otherwise flat desert floor. It seems like more than a coincidence that the Temples line up perfectly with the Milky Way, their vibrant orange colours seemingly reflecting the colour of the stars above”.
