Enchanted Rock - one of the largest batholiths

[cfcRebel]

Just came back from Enchanted Rock, Texas. Saw tons of interesting florals, insects, birds.... I'll posted those in the Nature & Animal section.
The Rock is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome, that rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and covers 640 acres. It is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States.

Critiques are welcome.

Cool! It sure is an amazing place, isn't it? Did u take any pictures while u were there? That was my first time there and i plan to go back there already. I need to polish up my photo skill first of course.

Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Titus,

Yes. Enchanted Rock is about 13 miles north of Fredericksburg, TX. Spring is the best time to go there cuz wildflowers are everywhere. ;)

Thanks Dante and Ian. I don't have much experience in shooting landscapes. So if u see anything that I can improve, let me know. I appreciate your comment. ;)
