Nicely done. I've been trying to get out and do some of these too, but the weather won't cooperate. What city do we see glowing on the horizon, if I my ask?

Thanks. That's Farmington New Mexico.

Jose, how did you get so close to the foreground here? were you using a mini tripod of sort? I am just wondering as i wouldn't think it would hold up well in the sand for a long period of time for long exposures. otherwise well done looks great. i would say adding a little light painting to the forground may have added a nice touch as well

They are close to the ground but these rocks are fairly big. around 3 ft (1m) high. Plus my tripod can get fairly close to the ground.

nicely composed

well done with the trails!
