Comment
The rock lies in the middle of a desert plain in New Mexico, USA, in the area of the Navajo Indians. Remains of an eroded volcanic vent; geologically similar to El Capitan in the Yosemite National Park. Three shots taken from nearly the same position that on the one hand, document the atmospheric phenomena and on the other hand, are an ode to one of the most holy places of the Navajo.
