Photograph of an unidentified rock formation, [s.d.]. Low, dark bushes spot the desert-like terrain in the foreground while the rock formation stands above. The formation stands in portions of layered rock with the smaller portions protruding from either side and the largest portion standing as a wall at center. The large portion forms a rounded corner on its left side with a jagged cap sitting as the peak of the level surface on the wall's top.
