Lit by the soft
golden light of the rising last
quarter moon, one of the
spectacular tufa (calcium
carbonate) spires of the Trona
Pinnacles seems to reach for the
stars from out of the Searles
Dry Lake basin east of
Ridgecrest,
California. Just above
the spire's tip lies the North
Star—Polaris—about which all
stars seem to turn during this
long exposure. |
