Mt. Falconer

High hills and ventifacts abound in this wind scarred land. Scree on permafrost holds like ball bearings on a glass window. Mt. Falconer is a mid rising giant littered with globular rocks. These melting, oozing, dripping rocks make me wonder if God enjoys fungi of the psilocybin variety, or had bad mexican food the night before.
