Unsyncopated moon beat

A summers night turns out kinda quirky in the Laguna Mountains, So Cal. All sorts of imps, faeries, and other succubi live in the cracks between the boulders, so you can imagine the chances were slim to get back to my car after sunset. Not bloody likely!

I took two of 'em with me, and survived to post this image...

It's great to see a shot from the Lagunas. The rock pile you found here makes for a great foreground, and the sky is awesome. I like how the shape of the cloud formation mimics the shape of the mountains.

Next time you're up there, take some bear spray. It works wonders on the imps in particular.

I love the San Diego mountains. a lot of beauty which you've captured nicely. Would like to see this shot with a little more brightness/highlights in the shadows. Glad to see you survived the trip... :wink:

Oh great. I always worried about rattlesnakes, bears, and mountain lions. There are succubi out there too . . . or is that just in California? You're a brave man, Daniel. I like how the image has foreground, middle ground, and background interest.
