This shot makes me think of the Titanic... as it was slipping down into the water and then the hull cracked (like the crack middle of this image...)
Another view of Chimney Mtn from the opposite ridge... yea, it really is that tilted (I leveled the tripod!) I didn't realize just how tilted it is until I viewed it from this side!
According to a web site I found, the rift between these two ridges was created when a fault line running down the ravine between them shifted... which must have been a powerful quake! I cannot find any info on the date of this event, but I doubt it was in my lifetime ... I'm sure I would have heard about it.
Now, look at the boulder on the left side... that is the boulder underwhich I shot "Sunset Under Chimney Mtn." How does such a massive rock manage to fall that way, held up by only two small vertical slabs? Why hasn't this boulder fallen to the bottom from repeated freezing, thawing, storms, etc?
This whole image just seems logically impossible to me!!!
