Borrego Springs Mugs

In Borrego Springs, California, there are over 130 metal sculptures, created by artist Ricardo Breceda, scattered throughout the desert landscape. Among the dinosaurs there, is this 'Spinosaurus'. I took this before dawn on a chilly March morning. The glow on the horizon, I believe, is lights from Brawley, CA, or a nearby airport. The large star in front of, and about eye level with, the dinosaur, is Jupiter. The exposure was 20 seconds to get the Milky Way, with a little light painting to illuminate the dinosaur.
