A strange spire juts out of the barren landscape of the Utah badlands, bathing in the golden light of the setting sun. Standing 80 feet (25 meters) tall, its otherworldly appearance is more reminiscent of a Star Wars film than anything you would expect to see on Earth.
It is a blend of 2 exposures, one taken before sunset when the sun was still above the horizon lighting up the spire and the surrounding landscape, and the other right after the sun dipped below the horizon, lighting up the clouds with spectacular colors.
