A narrow near-rectangular rock formation reaches up to the sky. It stands atop a red dirt slope. The base of the formation is light coloured, but turns dark with desert varnish a few feet off the ground. Small shrubs are scattered around the rick. A cloudless blue sky forms the background. And no-one is considering the possibility of an orange fool as US President.
