Patterns of mineral-colored rock impersonate a river of lava here, with a thin glaze of water reflecting the sky. One technical aspect of this image was working with my angle of view and a polarizing filter to carefully balance to what extent and how we see the rock, and to what extent instead we see the reflection of the sky.
I'm considering retitling this image "The Four Elements", as each is represented either directly, by reflection, or by impersonation.
