#unleash Morning Clouds


Shiprock, a diatremic monadnock, rises abruptly from the virtually level surrounding plain. The east face reflects morning sunlight while a wind-driven cloud clings to its 1700 foot summit. Located within the Navajo volcanic field, it is a classic geologically-distinct landform of the Colorado Plateau. The landforms of the Navajo volcanic field also figure prominently in the empirical knowledge and culture of the indigenous Navajo people.

Love the light and the fog clinging to the top of Shiprock. Well done!

Dramatic light on a great subject, I've seen all kinds of weather at that very spot, usually wind whipped sand. Enjoyed your short but eloquent footnote.
