A pair of leafy branches stand against a glistening rock face beneath a spring. The rock is smooth and varicolored, with areas of dark shadow.

A grassy meadow and a tall, spindly tree rise against a glistening rock face, whose top is shrouded in shadow.

A steep sandstone slope exhibits unconformable deposition, with the lower slope tilted and curving and the upper portion horizontally deposited. Several green bushes can be seen in the background at left.

A heavily weathered vertical sandstone cliff face appears pitted with dished out cavities. In the foreground, a yellow flowering bush stands next to a green-leaved spindly tree.

Happy #earthday, from the only world we know where the organic and the inorganic are allowed to so beautifully complement each other.

A swooping contrail slashes from top to bottom of the image, with a second one - much narrower - going diagonally from left to right, tracing a path behind a steep rocky cliff face with rubble at its bottom. A sliver of moon can barely be seen at center top of the image.

The image focuses on a pool of water in the rock that covers the surface of the terrain. Within the pool is a reflection of the clouds above. In the middle distance we see red rock cliffs and beyond them, snow-capped mountains. Clouds heavy with rain obscure much of the blue sky above.

Petroglyph of an individual on a sandstone wall. The smooth surface upon which the image stands is chipping or weathering away all below and around it, leading us to wonder if other figures were present before the erosion occurred.

This image shows a sweeping panoramic view of a dramatic desert canyon landscape, taken from an overlook in Zion National Park close to Angels Landing.

In the foreground, you see smooth, sunlit red sandstone rock with natural curves and cracks, giving a sense of height and exposure. Sparse desert vegetation—small shrubs and a twisted, weathered tree—clings to the rocky edge.

Beyond the ledge, the terrain drops sharply into a vast canyon. A winding river snakes through the valley floor, bordered by patches of green vegetation that contrast with the otherwise arid environment. A narrow road follows the river’s curves, emphasizing the scale of the landscape.

Towering cliffs of layered red and cream-colored rock dominate the middle and background. These sheer canyon walls rise dramatically, with textures shaped by erosion over millions of years. The formations vary in height and shape—some are rounded and massive, others more jagged and vertical.

Above, the sky is a vivid blue with scattered white clouds. Thin streaks—likely airplane contrails—arc across the sky, adding subtle lines that echo the curves of the canyon below.

Overall, the image conveys a sense of grandeur, depth, and natural beauty, with strong contrasts between the rugged red rock, green valley, and bright sky.

High-contrast image of a stunted leafy plant in full foliage against a shadowed crevice in slickrock sandstone. The top half of the image slopes upward out of frame, while the slope below shows the shadow of the plant against native rock. Sony DSC-RX100, f/5

A good visual reminder of the forces that carved the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. The Broke Leg Creek comes down whistling through the hills. A rocky escarpment is seen on the left, with layers of stone and sand. Trees and blue sky are on the right.

These whimsical shapes are part of the mid to late Jurassic (144 to 208 million years ago) Entrada Formation, initially deposited as windblown sand dunes when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Under a blue sunny sky the Solent washes up onto a sandy and shell covered beach; to the right are the orange sandstone Brownwich Cliffs. Above them are many acres of farmed fields.

In my part of the country, sandstone wears away to sandy beaches around creeks, rivers & streams. Water creates interesting cubbies in the stone & I’m reminded that geologically speaking, these are very young and changeable formations... #nicolasolvinic #thehuntersdaughter #mysticalforest #sandstone

A thriving, healthy juniper tree grows directly out of a dome-shaped rocky outcrop. Its dark green needles stand in contrast to the deep blue sky behind, streaked with wispy clouds.

A boulder-worthy caprock sits atop a stack of layered sandstone, dished out in concave fashion, trending down at a steep angle our of the image. Off in the distance at upper left we see additional eroded cliffs and a flat-topped mesa on the horizon. A single network of wispy clouds stretches across the upper part of the image.

A black and white photo of a towering time worn cliff and slope of debris below it. The cliff all about vertical lines and light coming from the right, with many clefts across it's face, each shaded to their left. Snow caps the few horizontal lines near the top.
The slope of debris fanning out at the base of the huge cliff is coated with snow, but shows dark vertical lines, and many huge boulders peppering it's flanks.
The sky to the right is blank, and uniform. It is actually an active snow storm that had just passed this location.
At the bottom foreground are a few small conifers and leafless trees, contrasting with the snowy slope beyond.
