A different comp with the 60mm Lens - Showing Tuctu on the left of frame - The rock formation forms the shape of a Native American Chief's face - looking to the sky, with his mouth open.

Tuctu has had a few I'd say.

Lovely shot, Chris.

Thanks chaps - it's a very 'spiritual' landscape - for Native American's for legitimate reasons, and for tourists because they are told there are 'mysterious vortexes' that can 'heal you'.

Tuctu looks better from the other side, as park of Bell Rock - you get a better facial profile and can also see his headdress

 

[Pete Askew]

I love the simplicity of that first one Chris - it does have quite a mystic feel to it doesn't it?
