One last photo from Chiricahua National Monument before moving on to a new location (there are, of course, more photos from here on my Website). This mountain, visible from the highest point in the park, is called Cochise Head, named after the famous Apache Indian chief from the 19th century.
It supposedly shows his head outlined in rocks, although I will admit I fail to see it…but other people swear it to be true. In fact, I had to double check on the Net to make sure that was the name of this mountain that I had photographed. No imagination, I guess.
At an altitude of just over 8,000 feet, Cochise Head lies outside the park boundaries and is only visible inside the park at the higher elevations.
Whatever the case, I like this image a great deal as I caught the mountain towards sunset with a dark cloud formation behind it. As stated here before, good images are sometimes just being in the right place at the right time.
If you wish to see a larger version, just click on the image.
