Monumental Weather
Stone monoliths dwarfed by a restless sky.
About the photograph
The buttes stand as measured interruptions in a vast, arid expanse, yet the true scale is set by the sky—a shifting architecture of cloud that engulfs the land. The monochrome palette heightens the tension between earth’s solidity and the atmosphere’s turbulence.
