Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is open from dawn to dusk. The Visitors Center opens at 9:00 a.m. To beat the heat, take advantage of the best light, see the most wildlife, and, possibly, get some sunrise photos, I plan to arrive at about 6:00 a.m.
Fort Griffin’s remote location renders very dark night skies. The dark skies in combination with the ruins provide great opportunities for interesting astrophotography foregrounds. We will be there just days after the new moon. It will be a thin 13% crescent that will set at 10:04 p.m. The early moonset,should make good conditions for photographing the Milky Way.

To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
