Evening Time At Devils Tower

Photograph - Photographic Art
Description
Per the National Park Service website, [Devils Tower is] "...an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the rolling prairie surrounding the Black Hills." This site is considered Sacred to the Lakota and other tribes that have a connection to the area. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest traditional crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to explore and define our place in the natural and cultural world. Devils Tower did not visibly protrude out of the landscape until the overlying sedimentary rocks eroded away. As the elements wore down the softer sandstones and shales, the more resistant igneous rock making up the tower survived the erosional forces. As a result, the gray columns of Devils Tower began to appear as an isolated mass above the landscape. As rain and snow continue to erode the sedimentary rocks surrounding the Tower's base, more of Devils Tower will be exposed.
This creative art is part of my photographic art series. When creating digital art, I use one or more of my photographs and a combination of several digital tools to create the desired output. It gives me great satisfaction to produce one of these artworks which would look wonderful in any home or office.

That Holy door that even the not imagined by imaginable wrongs could not have broken the door of Hope with even a crack of a single little like sand's particle, the place where the wrongs stuck to nowhere, and being defeated by her Holiness as Pure in name of Ma-nature of Almighty Universe!

Sacred for sure! The mood and atmosphere is absolutely perfectly reflected in this amazing capture, John! Mysterious cloud play, figurative and lively surrounding this majestic Tower Rock! Wondering how the energy felt, when you took this photo?
John M Bailey replied:
Thank you Christiane. It was an amazing experience and feeling. The sense that many consider this sacred ground added to the feeling and I have to admit seeing that "Close Encounters" is one of my favorite movies I also felt an alien sense. Surprisingly these feelings were more strongly felt seeing it at different times of the day from the campground right outside the park. When on the trail close to it, it was awesome, but the feeling was less mystical and more amazement at a great work of Nature.
