On the outskirts of Borrego Springs California, there are life-sized steel sculptures created by artist Ricardo Breceda and commissioned by Dennis Avery. This dragon is approximately 15' high and stretches across a roadway to about 350' long. I captured this scene approximately 1-2 hour after a full Moon rise and after the Sun had set, giving the background a nice pastel-type hue. Nikon D5000, 28-300mm Nikkor lens, B+W Polarizer and tripod.

I knew this was a pleasant scene when I captured it. The Nine Lake Basin is a beautiful area, with photographic opportunities at every turn.
