At the heart of every great photo is a feat of creativity. As a nature photographer I am always on the look out for the bizarre and unusual. Sometimes that takes the form of an ugliness that becomes beautiful when photographed in the correct composition.

Giant City is my favorite park in the Shawnee.
Thank you so much.
That banding is gorgeous!!!
Yes it is! Absolutely, beautiful place 😊
Beautiful! And so unique way to do art & photography. I am so glad I found your channel and look forward to watching more. The intro of this video has absolutely wonderful shots of giant city. I have been there and did a loop. The walls are extraordinary and you managed to capture that, as I said. Well done and thank you!
Thank You! I appreciate your kind words. It's an absolutely beautiful area and a great place to explore with a camera. Thanks for the comment :)
I enjoyed this video. Glad to hear you talking. You know you were one of the channels that inspired me to create Hiking with Shawn ;)
Thanks, Shawn - You must remember the “Silent Years” lol - I’m happy to see you make your own thing and run with it! My original inspiration was Les Stroud from Survivornan 👍
I was curious as to where this is at in the park?
Sorry for the delay. Here's some info on it's location that I answered in a previous post. Hope it helps! It somewhat "remote" in Giant City standards.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the coords for this one. I will try my best to explain it though. Park in the lot with the toilet on what Google says is Baptist Hill road, Hike the horse path on the toilet side down to the intersection of the river to river trail (blue I’s) and red cedar trail (red dots). Follow the bluff line below (rtr) and keep going for awhile. Keep on looking up towards the bluff, you can see it from the trail, but you have to be looking. If you get to where red and river trails intersect again you have went to far.
Gary, do you have the coordinates for this Giants heart pretty please?
