Thanks for the comments!
It was hit and miss out there last night. I took my kit and the dog and walked to this rock formation. I thought maybe the big looming cloud would get illuminated or maybe it would just stay grey. Then the sun broke through for about a minute. The rocks behind me looked great in the light but I was too far for a composition I liked so I decided to do the old faithful f/13 starburst trick facing West and it came together. I had to blend exposures to not blow out the clouds close to the sun.
These rocks are one of those "hidden in plain sight" features we have a few of around here. Fun to visit now and then. Lots of people pass by and never notice.

Simply perfect combination of light, composition and mood.

It reminds me of a Neolithic passage tomb...
