North Table Mountain, Golden, Colorado landscapes & seascapes photography at afternoon shot with X-T5 at ƒ/11

Volcanic rock caps the top of North Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado. These rocks are what remains of lava flows more than 60 million years old, and it has held up against erosion that stripped away the softer layers around it. The result is the flat-topped mesa that overlooks the town.
