Another image from my impromptu adventure down to Bombo Quarry a few months ago. I plonked myself here to catch the core rising in the breach between these jutting basalt towers, and I just love how it is climbing out of the horizon and stretching into the night sky.⁠⁠

The moon was in the First Quarter phase on this night and was due to set around 10:45pm, so I deliberately took advantage of the moon-glow to light the foreground and capture the details in these craggy rocks. ⁠⁠
