Description
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is a Texas State Park located roughly 1 1/2 hr from Austin and San Antonio, and 4 1/2 hours from Houston. It is a huge pink granite dome, rising 500 ft. from its surroundings, and it is what in geology is called a "batholith", from the Greek bathos, "depth" and lithos, "rock.". It is, basically, a giant magma bubble that never bursted!
I never get tired of photographing this wonder of nature, located halfway from Fredericksburg in the south and Llano in the north. In this case, after having hiked the Loop Trail circling the park, I stood at the top of Little Rock, (to the west) and shot Enchanted Rock towards the East, this way I was able to capture the Earth Shadow, and the subtle last light of the Sun reflected on Enchanted Rock. The deep red, yellow, and earthy tones of the Fall season compliment and complement the image. Thanks for looking! FAA watermark will not appear on final printed artwork.
