It's 5:04PM, Elephant Rocks State Park. The first minute of winter and the shortest day of the year. I set out to capture this first very first moment in one of the most high energy places in the Missouri Ozarks. The beautiful pink granite out cropping’s captured as the day ends make for a memorable paintings. I’m especially attracted to the big elephant sized boulders and how they lean against each other. It’s like God was playing marbles then abruptly leaving them where they fell. I keep going back, time and again, to meditate, take photographs and plan new paintings. Elephant Rocks is south of St Louis, Missouri about an hour and a half.
