Font's Point is a scenic viewpoint in the Borrego Badlands area of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County. The area is named after Father Pedro Font, a Franciscan Friar who accompanied Spanish Conquistador Juan Bautista de Anza on his explorations through the valley. Anza opened up the desert route that the Spanish used as an overland supply route between Mexico and settlements as far north as San Francisco.
I shot this about 2/3rd of the way up Fonts Wash in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. This photo contains two of my favorite things in the desert: the Milky Way and some ocotillo. I produced this panorama by combining 10 vertical frames shot at 25 sec f/2.8 ISO 3200 using my Canon 6D and Sigma 15mm EX DG.
A Lyrid meteor and a nice and bright Milky Way over a Mars-like landscape in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
