Photography of Kurt Shaffer Photographs Sunsets, skys, clouds, the moon and stars
Sunsets, sunrises, full moons, new moons, eclipses, long-exposure star-trails and beautiful skyscapes abound in this gallery.  
From the wide-open skies of the western United States to the Midwest, you'll find something you will love.
