I had slept in my car for a week in the frigid desert, which means I hadn't slept much at all. Chugging my last coffee, I remembered some deserted charcoal kilns I had heard about in the mountain range that borders Death Valley National Park. It was a last-minute decision to try to go find them and capture circular star trails in the night sky. I'm glad I went! The final image is the result of 150 photos of 30-second exposures.
