Spooky Rock Outcropping

 Adventures in Nevada's Back Country at Garfield Flats

Being one who loves adventure, exploring new places with my camera is part of the thrill of professional photography.  When the adventure has a sense of the macabre, I get even more excited.  Thus was the case when I learned of the Spooky Rock Outcropping that is located off Garfield Flats Road near Hawthorne, Nevada.

The Spooky Rock Outcroppings are deposits from lava flows within the Garfield Flat thrust that possibly go back from 8  to 15  million years in our past.

Resembling a scene from The Danse Macabre, the curved and elongated rocks appear as hooded characters with grimacing looks that definitely send chills up my spine on such a warm autumn day.

I can just imagine the scene at night with a full moon lighting the ensemble.

And yes, you guessed it right.  This will have to be a return visit when it warms back up on the night of a full moon.

What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
