I seriously need to move. As much as I love San Antonio, Texas out landscape isn't as diverse as say Utah and Arizona. Awesome shot. Been to Utah once and I love it's enviroment.

Very impressive. Are these old lava tubes or were they formed by water?

The Subway is all water cut, it gets its subway like shape because the rock below is less resistant to erosion than the rock above.

It is really quite an amazing place.
