One of the grandest sights in nature is the flowing Milky Way as seen from the middle of nowhere. The open spaces in the deserts and the plains of the American west still provide one of the few opportunities on the planet to see this magnificent spectacle. Those incredible nights are the inspiration for the Western Star Ring. The fluid backdrop and the shining, silver stars evoke the endless cycle of the galactic silhouette that we see every night in the high mountains.
