Tempest at Skull Rock
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Skull Rock is one of my favorite subjects..
Standing at about 12 meters tall, it is one of the more interesting monzogranite rock formations in the park. The eye sockets that give it an eerie anthropomorphic look were formed by a process called tafuni, where small depressions in the rock hold water that dissolves the rock then subsequent rainwater leads to more erosion over centuries.
