Description

A stack of zen rocks sits on a large boulder against a cloudless, bright blue sky. The rocks are of varying shapes and sizes. The stack is built from a large rock at the bottom, and then progresses with more rocks in a pyramid shape, becoming smaller as the stack ascends, with the smallest rock balanced at the very top. The color of the rocks vary from dark brown to light tan with a rough texture, weathered appearance, and jagged edges. The rock stack is located outdoors in natural light that accentuates the colors and forms of the rocks and the boulder below. The boulder has a coarse texture. The sky is a solid, gradient blue. The photograph has a shallow depth of field, putting focus on the rock formation.
