Baby El Capitan

Navajo Nation, Navajo County, Arizona view map

This volcanic plug is smaller than nearby Agathla Peak, but just as majestic in my opinion.
I also have a b&w version of this shot that I will be posting in my monochrome gallery soon.
I wanted to post the color version first because the area was unusually green from a wet Spring.
Many thanks to Glenn for letting me borrow his polarizing filter which helped to make this pop.
This is a merge of three exposures for HDR.
