Description
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is a Texas State Park located roughly 1 1/2 hr from Austin and San Antonio, and 4 1/2 hours from Houston. It is a huge pink granite dome, rising 500 ft. from its surroundings, and it is what in geology is called a "batholith", from the Greek bathos, "depth" and lithos, "rock.". It is, basically, a giant magma bubble that never bursted!
This image was made while my camp buddies where setting up the tent. Scanning the rugged landscape, I noticed this lone oak atop the rock, and I zoomed in with my 80-400 lens. Waiting for the clouds to frame the tree, I snapped away. I find the conversion to monochrome, that is, BW, much more pleasant and interesting than the original color one. Thanks for looking. Please note that FAA watermark WILL NOT show on final printed artwork.
