Description

This tree has found a prominent place to grow. This massive and splintered granite "rocky ground" is lower down on Mount Rushmore from the faces of the presidents... Bill:) P.S. A zoom really makes the rock pop. "Carved Granite"

Most wonderful crop Bill! I love how the tree renders softness to the granite! There seem to be quite a bit of lichen on the rocks too!

Love the composition, the quality of the photograph, the detail, color ... Everything about this speaks of inaccessible places. I half expect to see a mountain goat coming around the corner. Excellent shot!

Very beautiful, I love the angle of the grain in the rock; easy to see the movement of the earth in it! Great shot!
