The second one is amazing! BTW, it is Fajada Butte. Fajitas are a Mexican dish...

Both great!

Thanks guys, yeah, I now know it is Fajada. It must have been the long drive and me being hungry at the time I read the plaque (love me some fajitas )

The second is good but the first is stunning!

Both great shots.

They're both great but the second one is ridiculously good. So you were able to shoot that at ISO 6400 on the D600? I have a hard time wrapping my pea brain around night photography -- do you usually have to go to higher ISOs like to capture the Milky Way? I have a cropped camera, the D5100, and 6400 is pretty much unusable under any circumstance.

Again, great work.
