The Serpent and the Hunter

Here we go with another image from my shooting at the metal sculptures from Ricardo Breceda at Galleta Meadows Estate in Borrego Springs.

 

The Sea Serpent is probably one of the most photographed sculptures, both in daylight and with the summer Milky Way at night. I tried to give it a new twist by capturing it under the winter Milky Way and the constellation Orion, the Hunter.
