Monolith, Under Gathering Sky
Monolith, Under Gathering Sky
A butte rises solitary between striated stone and unsettled cloud.
About the photograph
The butte stands isolated, its mass both anchored and exposed beneath a sky thick with movement. Foreground stone draws the eye inward, echoing the monument’s layered geology and amplifying the sense of scale and weather.
