City of rocks -1

This image is from the first night we were at the City of Rocks State Park.

The days were scorching hot but the nights were spectacular. The air was still and it got nice and cool by about 10 pm.

It is a very unusual place, some mud flow from an ancient volcanic eruption has eroded and weathered over the eons and morphed into this assembly of free-standing rocks. The Milky Way was glistening in the moonless sky and Arcturus and Spica were blazing overhead. That is why I love to be out at night.

The Park was only sparsely populated with campers and everything was peaceful and quiet. Give me more of that.

Taken with the Rokinon 12 mm f2 at f2.8
