🌌 On the Edge on a Hazy but Starry Night 🌟

            Me on the edge of Vista del Malpais overlooking the Borrego Badlands. Milky Way shines in a partly cloudy and hazy sky.

At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to pull this shot off, but then the clouds parted just enough to reveal the Milky Way. This rising moon (out of frame) provided just enough light to illuminate the badlands, mountains, and foreground without washing out the Milky Way. I supplemented the moonlight with an LED headlamp to light me up a bit more. Shot with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art lens.

Vista del Malpais is Spanish for "View of the Badlands". This area offers a view similar to Font's Point, but it smaller and more difficult to access. You can't drive a sedan here - unlike Font's when the road is in good shape.
