I actually took this picture a couple of months ago on a work trip out to California, and this actually wasn't the scene that I was planning on capturing! I was in town during the peak of the Orionids Meteor Shower, and I initially drove out to attempt to capture that. However, in reviewing my shots at the end of the night, I must have bumped the focuser because every single shot over the course of 4 hours was completely out of focus.
I'm still thankful that I bagged this shot, because I think it does a really good job showcasing the odd sand columns carved into the stone.
They can't all be winners, but it's always good to make the best out of every situation.
