Traveling on a back road near the Arizona-Nevada border, I found this craggy peak.<br />
I was drawn to this site because it has the look of such durability—as if it has been<br />
here since the day of creation.<br />
I took the picture of the amazing swirl in the rock, because I liked the forms. It’s<br />
clear that the big towering rock dominates. I want the viewer to see the form of the<br />
tower rock and to see how it’s reaching up into the sky.<br />
The color is the earth-red that dominates the region. Here the tone is so deep and<br />
rustic that the color adds to the sense that this rugged mount has been here for a<br />
very long time.<br />
There were other angles, but this one really spoke to me. I would crop it so that<br />
it is less centered—maybe in a portrait frame to give more focus to the towering<br />
rock.<br />
