Thanks. The angle of this photo and the lighting definitely make the most of the illusion, but it looks almost as crazy in real life. When you get close, the amount of rock that attaches to the bottom layer is pretty substantial.

Yeah, it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in that part of Colorado. Amazing spot to consider the power of wind and water.

"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place ? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."   --Rene Dumal
