Wings under the stars
This is Bisti Badlands Wilderness in New Mexico, a place full of weird rock formations. This place was originally covered under water millions years ago and gradually as water receded, it shaped the entire landscape and what has left are these spectacular hoodoos.
Last year in December, I spent 4 days exploring different part of this area and was really in awe when I could get so close to these ancient formations. Among all of the them, one of my favorite is called Stone Wings, which is a set of rocks that look like wings. I find the best way to photograph them is either during sunset when they are lit by the light, or at night when they are in silhouette against stars. This image shows the night version. Since the northern star was directly above them, I decided to capture the movement of stars. It was a cold night, but I am glad how this image turns out.
