Colorful Potential

I really like this rock. Beyond the fact that it is nearly a perfect circle and stands in an upright position displaying more color than its surroundings, it rests on an edge just above a steep slope in rock to the sandy floor below. It reminds me of physics lessons on potential vs. kinetic energy. What adds to the illusion is the color striations in the rock and the swirl pattern, which give it more a sense of motion to my eye. Quite frankly, it's a wonder no one has disturbed it yet. I certainly hope it's still standing at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.
