Sacred

Sacred was photographed in West Hunan, China. These mountains are pillar-like formations made of quartz-sandstone and are the results of many years of erosion. These formations are a distinct hallmark of Chinese landscape, and can be found in many ancient Chinese paintings. The image is titled "Sacred" as the place is still unknown to most Westerners.
