Painted Rock by hjbenson

Painted Rock

Sunday was my birthday and since the Library was closed, we went out to Antelope Island which is in the Great Salt Lake. Some of the oldest - and prettiest - rocks known to man can be found on this island.
Best Viewed Large.

Wonderful capture of this interesting rock. There must have been so wild things going on eons ago to cause this to form. Happy Birthday.

Hi Harry, great shot!
Regarding the challenge for for get-pushed-week12, I noticed you normally do outdoors picturing, what about doing an indoors picture with simple elements of a normal day? (i.e.,a cup, a chair, a newspaper, etc). Let me know if this would work for you (:

Those rocks do look old - sort of squashed molten lava look! The Salt Lake at Bonneville is where John's father made a speed record on his old Indian motorbike!
