Starry night at Murphy's Haystacks

Murphy's haystacks are a series of inselberg rock formations; the pink granite pillars are estimated to be 1,500 million years old

It was a gorgeous starry night, but a little too windy and cold to easily stay out there and a little too windy to try for long exposure star trails. My torch was a little dull to paint the rock with light as I had planned. I could have kept going, but I was cold and a little nervous standing out there at night alone.
beautiful!
