Obsidian Dome, Eastern Sierra

On the way down 395 to see the bristlecone pines we turned off the highway to see the Obsidian Dome. It's an 8,556 ft. mountain peak in a volcanic chain of formations in Eastern California.


Here I am sitting on an obsidian bolder, lava that cooled into smooth black glass-like rock.


I love the bit of life making its way from the a space in the rock.


This yellow bush surprised me in the 'moonscape.'


Notice the different obsidian textures.


This dome made me think of a giant's rock pile that I could see the top of from the highway. I was surprised to arrive at the dome and to walk up it.


Are You Amazed
With Heart?
