Seth Lazar, Organ Pipes Cactus Star Trail (May theme: The night sky)

Had one night extra after a conference in Tucson; hired an SUV and drove to Organ Pipes Cactus National Monument. An intimidating number of border guards all around this Mexico-adjacent national park. No Milky Way to speak of, though it was a pretty dark night with no moon, so went for star trail. Lit the cactus from different angles and blended the final exposure.
