The Grand Stand is large outcrop of rock in the Racetrack Playa of the Death Valley National Park. It sits in the middle of the northern section of the dry lake. This is an extremely dark area of the park and allows you to really capture great images of the Milky Way.
One of the moving rocks on the famous Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park. This was taken around 4am which is why you see the Milky Way at such a steep angle behind the rock. Usually early in the Milky Way season the Milky Way will start to be visible almost horizontal to the horizon as it gets dark enough and then become more vertical as time moves on during the night.
