{"product_id":"sculpture-like-rocks-eastern-sierra","title":"Eastern Sierra Natural Rock Arch Landscape Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRounded Stone Framing Blue Sky and Soft Clouds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening in the rock is what makes this scene hold together for me. A heavy curve of stone encloses a patch of blue sky and soft clouds, while the surrounding boulders fill most of the frame. This Eastern Sierra photograph is as much about shape as it is about landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI like the way the arch seems to grow from the rocks beneath it. One side narrows into a stretched connection; the other swells into a broad, rounded mass. Beneath the opening, another boulder cuts across the view, so the sky appears through an irregular window rather than a perfectly clear circle. Those overlapping forms give the scene depth without needing a distant view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour is quiet but important here. The stone carries warm brown and grey tones, with rough surfaces that catch the light differently as they turn. The blue overhead and lightly peach coloured clouds offer a cooler, softer setting for all that weight. My eye keeps returning to the boundary where the solid rock meets the open air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI took this photograph in 2009, concentrating on the sculptural character of the Eastern Sierra rocks. What interests me is the contrast between an imposing natural formation and the small, delicately shaped space inside it. For a room that suits earthy landscape art, this image brings both texture and a strong, easily read form, with more subtle details appearing as you spend time looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2009\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606593482831,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40484992417871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606562975823,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40484992450639,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602029903951,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40484992483407,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185211023439,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Eastern-Sierra-Natural-Rock-Arch-Landscape-Photography-1.jpg?v=1791720567","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/sculpture-like-rocks-eastern-sierra","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
