A popular climbing rock at the Indian Cove campground in Joshua Tree NP. I had this alone to marvel at the assorted sizes, clumps and shapes of this behemoth. Was glad to get some soft streaky cloud layers in the photo.  Posted here due to the fencing and posts.

Nikon D7100, F11, 1/160sec,  16-85 @ 20mm, ISO 400, Hand Held

This is a nice formation with nice texture.  Good lighting.

That is one impressive rock formation! I think you did a marvelous job at capturing it, both the comp and the light are spot on. There is something really calming about this photo, even though I can't really put my finger on the exact reason why. It's just the combination of many things working together perfectly I guess.
