I took this photo going up Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park the 3rd week in August. It was a cool rainy/foggy day for August and after seeing the picture decided to start looking for orcs and Sauron. Enjoy.

I see what you mean, and the mist certainly adds to the atmosphere. It looks to be igneous rock - is that the case?

PS It is actually "Mordor". ;)

Thanks guys- had a case of bad typing. It really is Mordor. As far as the rock, guess they could be ignorant rocks - huh?

Lovely texture to the rocks Claudia and the msit adds nicely to your shot.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p
