A rocky promontory looms above a dry wash in broken canyon country. The left-most cliff faces are mostly in shadow, while the low slopes at right are sunlit. A group of small trees grows atop the low rise of the right-hand bank. The sky is shaded and dark. Canon 5DII, f/7.

A single stunted juniper rises defiantly atop a rocky knoll, silhouetted against a sky of swirling clouds. To its right, behind the foreground cliff, a dome of sandstone rises in the distance. More cliffs appear behind and to the left. Canon 5DII, f/8

A person clambers beneath a huge balanced boulder that sits atop a column of highly stratified rock. In the right foreground another similar formation appears partially out of frame. Off in the left distance we see a series of cliffs beneath a washed-out sky with just a hint of cloud at top of image.
