Three Sisters at Night Big Bend the river slows and clearsSuperstition Mountains, Arizona This photograph was made in the Superstition Mountains at night, looking toward the Three Sisters formation. The desert had fully settled by then. Wind dropped, temperatures fell, and the landscape shifted into something slower and quieter. Unlike the dramatic Milky Way core that rises in the southern and southeastern sky, this view faces roughly west. From this direction, the core never appears above the formation.
