Shiprock (the prominent peak in the middle center) is located in the 4 corners region of New Mexico, near Farmington. It is surrounded by 3 dikes, one of which is seen in the foreground in this photo. It was given the name Shiprock by the early wester explorers, becaus they though it resembled a large clipper ship.

Shiprock represents the bird plunging head first into the ground, and the dikes represent the bird's legs and wings. Shiprock has great religious significance to the the Navajo (or Dine).
Geologically shiprock is composed of volcanic breccia and is termed a minette. It represents the the erosional throat of an old volcano and formed about 1000m below the ground. Shiprock formed about 27 million years ago and is part of the Navajo volcanic field, comprised of minettes and kimberlites in the 4 corners region....
I am a nature and landscape photographer based in Madison, WI, with images from around the world. I am originally from Australia, but have lived in New Brunswick, Canada, and Socorro, New Mexico, before moving to Madison. I am trained as a geologist, and still teach introductory geology classes (need to pay the bills somehow).. The love of the outdoors has strongly influenced my photography, initially in Australia, but then in the the NW Territories of Canada (I was there doing geology), and the desert of New Mexico. Now I find the beauty around where I live in Madison. If you live in the Madison area, contact me, and I can print images for you (save on postage).
