This is so cool. Kind of looks like the old stripping pits here from when they were going after the Anthracite. Lots of them have been filled in though. There was some kind of reclamation project.

The millions of years this rock has seen, oh but the stories it could tell. If it weren't rock, but it is. Huh, I confused myself. Cool capture.

Nature is tenacious. I like the vegetation clinging to the sides. Interesting textures. Looks like the stone was scraped by something.

Great shot, Mike! Every time you post one of these photos of Beacon Rock, it makes me want to climb it again. My wife keeps suggesting it, too, so I guess one day soon we'll have to make the 2-1/2 hour drive and do so. Sure enjoying your posts!

This is cool. Wish there was something in the scene to give it perspective but, I guess you couldn't exactly magically insert something or someone, LOL.
