Lava Rock Monolith
It was perfect timing while driving south on HWY 666 in Northern New Mexico USA. The setting sun lit up this beautiful rock formation as my son and I were passing by. With no time to waste we quickly found a place to pull off and park. We hurried to a nearby suitable shooting location and were able to setup and get off a couple shots. It was a thrilling experience!
This formation is called a volcanic throat and was the supply tube for a volcano. 30 million years ago when this eruption was active this area was about 3000 feet under ground. A lot of earth has been displaced to expose this marvelous view. It's just a matter of time!
In this light the rock looks like a naked valve of the huge heart! Bloody gold..
You have a good imagination, also the connecting network of volcanic feeder tubes and dykes are like arteries. Thanks for your view.

That goes without saying buddy !
Great photo and I really liked the brief review of the history of the volcanic throat , the view from afar is fabulous, I had not seen it from that point.
Thank you Liznella, I'm so fascinated by the amazing geologic history that's all around me. I live in a special place with gratitude.

Wow! Narration and pictures are equally thrilling. Extraordinary love to be so hasty to see beautiful objects and impatient to immediately photograph. The results are simply fantastic. Thanks for sharing. 👌
Thanks for your appreciation of the event and the nice compliments. I have many such stories. I also have missed many epic shots by mere seconds.

It is a formation that looks more impressive with the help conveniently with the plain.
I agree, it's very special now that everything else around it has been washed away over time. It looks so out of place. I think that just seeing it standing there by itself in this fashion creates some mystery. but its beautiful!

You feel the richness and positive energy of the experience. Thanks!
