New Zealand comes to Texas

New Zealand comes to Texas—figuratively speaking, that is. I went a bit crazy over abstract patterns I found over there in rocks, shells, liverworts, lichens, geothermal formations, clouds, etc. Since then I’ve been searching close to home for patterns that might rival, even if subtly, some of the ones from New Zealand. On August 19th I found this colorful panel of rock at McKinney Falls State Park in southeast Austin. Because abstract photographs often lack orientation, I’ll tell you that in this view you’re looking straight down.
