The flinthills consume many hours, days, weeks and at present rate will be many years of my life. Last weekend after spending some time on some of the recent burned land and walking back to the truck, I couldn't help but stop, get down look and study this geological item called flint. The closer I looked and the more time I spent the more I was completely captivated by its beauty. So much so that I spent and extra hour ignoring the wide open spaces of the rolling hills and shooting close-ups of flint. And many more I'm sure will follow.
It brings real joy to me to find beauty in the world, and sometimes all one has to do, is look down.

I can see what captured your attention Brad. This image demonstrates not only the beauty you describe but it shows distinctive signs of character in what is considered an inanimate object.
And the best part about photographing rocks is you can shoot to your hearts content even on the most windy of days and never have your subject move!

Wayne - Just remember earthquakes can induce even the rocks to move!
Brad - I like the way you keep your eyes open for possibilities that most of us pass over unnoticed. In this case: You rock!
Nice work with this one, Brad. The more I look at this, the more things I find to look closer at. The fractures keep me moving through the frame. I like it.
