Agathla

This ancient volcanic plug is over 1,500 feet tall and sacred to the Navajo. It looks pretty insignificant here, but it really is quite amazingly large, standing out there all alone.

 

The bright light on the right is light pollution from the town of Kayenta, but I like the effect.

 

In June 2014 I went to Utah for a week specifically to take pictures of the night sky. If you want to see more of those pictures (and my other efforts at night photography) feel free to look at my Night Sky album.
