A SPIRE TO THE STARS
STL-98-001

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 StarPolarisabout which all stars seem to turn during this long exposure.
