Image Details:

The Milky Way stars twinkle left of the Haystack Rock and The Needles. It was a hazy night on the beach, the air smelled of fresh burning wood from several campfires-three visible lower left, the breeze blew softly.
Composed of basalt, 235 feet Haystack Rock was formed by lava flows emanating from the Blue Mountains and Columbia basin about 15-16 million years ago. Haystack Rock was once joined to the coastline but years of erosion have since separated the monolith from the coast. Three smaller, adjacent rock formations to the south of Haystack Rock are collectively called The Needles
