Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument under stars

I almost forgot to post about my camping trip to Aguirre Springs!

So after my City of Rocks camping trip, I came home for one night which turned out to be a great idea due to torrential rains.



I loaded up the van for a little trip just up the mountains to Aguirre Springs. I had my eye on this gnarled, old tree as a potential backdrop for the Milky Way. The skies are nowhere near as dark here as they are at City of Rocks, so the Milky Way is a bit harder to pull from photos, but I am overall still pretty pleased with how these turned out.



I even turned around and photographed the mountains to the west without any hint of the Milky Way.


I am going to miss these mountains!
