Sunset Crater in Arizona


Sunset Crater, a 900-year-old cinder cone in Arizona.

These shots were taken with a film camera, and the process that scans the negatives takes considerable time. Accordingly, I'm only posting two shots:

(1) Someone at Sunset Crater, chosen because it nicely shows the landscape. I'm not enough of a Photoshop expert to erase the person from the picture.



(2) Lichens growing in the volcanic rock. The rock is mostly basalt, with crystals of green olivine (not evident in this picture) and white or glassy feldspar.
