I posted a different picture of Ship Rock and it's lava dyke a few years ago. In that picture I placed the dyke in the foreground and used it like a leading line. It was an OK picture but it visually diminished the rock. Here the rock is the main event.
Ship Rock is an example of an "inselberg" or "manadnock" (a rock that rises abruptly from an otherwise level plain) located in the northwest corner of New Mexico, about 25 miles from the town of Farmington. (Though such is the rock's mass that it looks much closer.) It reaches nearly 1600 feet into the air.
It is a marvelous thing to behold.
Note: the color of the sky is not original; I changed it to that teal color you see after playing with several treatments.
I took this image with my (ex-MacKillop) Sigma DP1 Merrill.
