Yes, that's a fine picture!
I think this hoodoo looks like a mythical creature, dressed in a coonskin hat with a particularly long tail. He used to drive across the desert on his motorbike(?), the tail of his coonskin hat pointing straight out in the wind draft, until he suddenly turned into stone. His coonskin tail froze in position, pointing horizontally away from him. His nose points in the other direction, and his eyes, partly hidden under his coonskin hat, are fixed on the distant horizon.
Well, so much for pareidolia! Tell me though, what does it take to create a formation like this hoodoo? Could it exist on any other planet or moon in the solar system?
And is that a prehistoric skeleton on the ground below that magnificent rocky "tail"?
What are those two bright lights at top right in this picture? They are not stars. You might almost think that the top one is Antares, because it is so red, but it's not. If it was Antares, we'd see a lot of nebulosity and other stars around it. So could it be Mars? We are in Scorpius, so it's possible. And the whiter, fainter but still bright light to the lower right of it, could that be, say, Saturn?

Edit: GAAAHH!!! I asked Google if Mars was in Scorpius in 2016, and I got all these
astrology answers.
Except they, of course, all told me about the significance of Mars being in Scorpio!!!
Oh, and yes, it appears that Mars really was in Scorpius in 2016. Maybe Saturn too. I couldn't spend too much time on these astrology pages!
Yes, that's a fine picture! :D
