Archeology or Geology?
Is it the remains of an ancient mastodon, or an inspired rock formation?
Elephant Rock in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada is a really cool sight. Climbing up to this vantage gave us a cool view on a chilly Spring evening, after hours of heavy winds and rain storms to be able to capture this scene with slowly clearing clouds illuminated by the late evening sun. As vibrant as the rock coloration is, I felt that the monochrome treatment would better highlight how truly Elephant like this structure is.
