Cool! Just like the sandstone formations in the desert southwest, but on a micro scale!

Too bad the photographer didn't use image stacking to get an infinite depth of field.

We always get a Weather Calendar from our LP supplier, with this type of rare pics. I always send a “thank-you” card because it is my favorite.

I used to drive around doing this stuff. You really need the ability to “see it” when it ‘appears’ in front of you. And looking a the same landscape over, and over, and over again…only to see something new is where you shift from documentarian to artist.

They are different all the time. Those who live close are scrambling to schedule a visit! Pictures are fine for me.
