Enchanted Rock (Texas, about an hour West of Austin). Beautiful thunderstorm in the distance.

Basically, Enchanted Rock is one enormous dome of pink granite which reaches 425 feet at its top and is part of a 90 square mile underground mass. It's the 2nd largest monolithic dome in the USA. It's a very interesting place to explore.
