Balancing Boulders in the Rocky Mountains
This photo shows the beauty and size of the Rocky Mountains and the details on them. Some boulders are balanced on the edge of a cliff as if a light breaze could topple them while others have layers of rock showing the erosion from centuries of weather. The trees show the determination of nature pushing through the hard exterior to reach the sky. The clouds give depth of how far away the distant mountains are.
