When I was visiting the outlook overlooking the Rio Grande at White Rock, a town
that looks like it should be in New Jersey, I saw this anomaly way in the distance.
There is no question that this mesa is sacred. Its prominence radiates emotion and
stored energy. It is a powerful presence, even seen from this distance.
I like the mesa, despite not being able to drive up to it. There is no other angle,
although a zoomed shot is not out of the question. The mesa is the focus.
You can crop out most of the streaky cloud, and the bottom rock. Why? Because
both the rocks and clouds are distractions. I would like to go to the mesa, but can’t
because it’s on an Indian reservation. Nobody can without disrespecting the tribal
laws and sacred energy.
The dominant color is blue. The dominant object is the mesa. It’s like an atoll.
The viewer should take away a sense of mystery, intrigue.
