If you look closely and push aside the flare, grain, etc., you will see several pelicans. This is a favorite spot for a couple dozen of these birds. I have a few images to post later this week taken with a lens, and a different perspective. It's nice location, and requires plenty of rock negotiation to get to this point. Nobody else was there. Very enjoyable.
This image really gets the imagination flowing. There is a road running horizontal and where the sun crosses just below is a little boy with a big hat. He is facing a little girl maybe talking. Behind the girl is another little boy trying to catch up. There are stories to be told here.
The last big rock on the right with the 2 pelicans, I thought it was a bull lying down with it's head raised looking to the horizon. Amazing moonscape spot ;) The flare is wonderful.
I love the flare... looks like when you squint your eyes in sunlight. Also interesting is the horizontal "brush stroke" crossing the diagonal flare.
But anyway... after reading your comment, everything on this image looks like a pelican. :)
