The light colored rock formation on the right sits on the face of Golden Gate Mountain, right behind our home in the Tucson Mountains.
Locals call it "the Indian Head." It appears that the photo was taken from a vantage point above the formation, but that's not the case.
I was walking through our neighborhood early in the morning, just before sunrise. The streets are several hundred feet lower in elevation than the rock face.
The formation isn't always visible unless you know where to look. The reason? It's the changing color of the mountain as the sun moves across the sky.
In the photo on the right, the sun had yet to come across the eastern horizon.
The photo below was taken from the same vantage point only five minutes later, as the sun topped the ridge, painting the formation with its early morning glow.
