Angel Rocks

Interesting erosion patterns on granite tors along the Angel Rocks trail.  As a mayfly is to me, I am to this ancient rock.
The weathered rock, the long view from a steep hillside, and the setting sun in autumn combine in one photo.  It reminds me of visiting "Finger Rock" along the Dalton Highway, while on our way to hiking along the northern side of the Brooks Range.  Overlooking the broad course of the Sagavanirktok River as it flows toward the Arctic Ocean was unforgettable.
