It's not what it looks like! @stevenjmagner

in #photography7 years ago

A few weeks back my wife and I went to visit the metal sculptures of the Anza Borrego State Park during one of the hottest days of the year and hands down the hottest I have ever experienced in my life! I swear, at 12am it was still pushing 100 degrees! Some might think we are stupid for driving straight towards the epicenter of the heat wave but this past year I have been itchin to get out and drive to every destination possible for some astrophotography.

With the park pretty quiet due to the heat I had free range to shoot as much as I wanted before the moon rose. Stumbling upon the mother and child camels in the desert was interesting as at first you wanna say "aww", snap a picture, look at the results and your response turns to "I'm sorry officer. It's not what it looks like!"

Well, Is it?

Glad I could fulfil this wish of yours :)

Woah! Nice work! I grew up in California but I never knew we had camels there.

Someone told me they were dinosaurs. Apparently we have both!

love silhouettes especially with stars!

Thank you @ronbitz! The night was very dark this evening and no one was waving any flashlights around to muck up my shot!

Best wishes!

Awesome photos! I'm in CA too and have some photos up of parks and wildlife I've seen around the state.

Thank you @johnniec! Which part of the state do you live?

I'm up in Marin County, a very photogenic part of the world!

Nice dude! My wife and I are probably going to relocate to Novato. My inlaws live there
