Adventure always starts with an idea, and leads to something greater than expected. The idea of adventuring is to have new experiences which can only be found by exiting your comfort zone and searching exploring. This night was an off trail night, just falling short of a predetermined goal which I had no knowledge of in the field. I started a journey some time ago I call star collecting. Basically you find points (GPS) of interest and mark them with your navigation systems. Then when you're out in the field, rather than wander blindly you can seek out these points. This was one of those nights. Not nearly as sucessful as I'd hoped, we fell short of my target and ended up with this instead.
I thought it was quite beautiful to see what appeared to be spires on fire quickly lighting up and dissipating almost as quickly as they came. Right below here is a narrow long slot canyon and as I ran through it in almost dark you could see the bats. They looked like alien creatures and their eyes seemed to watch me as I moved through their home.

Die Erdpyramiden von Lengmoos
Erdpyramiden sind steile, turm- oder kegelförmige Erosions-formen aus relativ leicht erodierbarem Gestein (z. B. schwach zementierter Sandstein, Löss, Blocklehm, vulkanischer Tuff), die durch aufliegende Blöcke aus weniger gut erodierbarem Material vor der völligen Abtragung bisher bewahrt blieben.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock formed by erosion. Hoodoos typically consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They generally form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations.
The "City of dreaming spires" reference to Oxford and its university comes originally from an 1866 poem of Matthew Arnold.
Grace Church on Broadway is one of the most beautiful churches in NYC. Despite numerous attempts, I haven't been able to successfully photograph the entire structure. I blame this on my lack of a wide-angle lens, but in reality, it's entirely due to a lack of skill. This here was an accidental shot, but upon reflection, I rather like how the water towers of the adjacent building contrast with the ornate spires of the church. A bit of old NYC right along side the new, modern NYC; the spiritual alongside the industrial. It's a city of contrasts, after all.
