A prominent peak rises behind a pair of hoodoos. Its slopes show sedimentation of varying shades. The foreground presents a series of upward-sloping mudstone and gray shale layers. The sky above is vivid blue with a centrally located puffy white cloud.

It's #BlueSkyMonday in the Lybrook badlands, NW #NewMexico. Because: what's blue sky without a few clouds for contrast?

A series of sandstone slabs are eroding out from the surrounding soft sediments in this sloping drainage below a group of reddish cliffs and mudstone mounds. The sky above is blue with a few puffy clouds.

A series of mudstone mounds and ironstone caps rises in tiers toward a blue sky dappled with white clouds. The image is anchored at right by higher, more massive mounds of a darker shade.

A vertical wall of layered sediments shows varying layers of color and consistency, from fine-grained mudstone to fully included boulders. There is also a great deal of color variation in the layers, ranging from ash gray to pale yellow and rust red. Scattered grasses on the floor of the wash add splashed of green to the palette, while the sky - glimpsed through a gap at upper right - shows pale blue with wispy white clouds.

Sedimentation (Earth sciences 🌍)

Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments. It takes place when particles in suspension settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on […]

A dark-toned, arrowhead-shaped boulder balances precariously atop a mudstone pedestal in a desert-like environment. The clear sky is rendered dark by means of polarization. Intricate detail is visible in the mudstone base and the ironstone cap.

A delicate balance: De-Na-Zin, NW New Mexico

A striking sandstone monolith rises above the cliffs and up into the sky at right. The viewpoint of the photo is from the bottom of a wash bordered by a vertical wall of multilayered rock and dirt. The sky is mostly clear.

A closeup of the wall of the canyon shows interweaving seams of harder rock with vertical striations. There's some odd crossbedding going on that cuts across horizontal layers.

Another couple from Caprock Canyons for #Stunday. The red, sandy soil and cliffs there are punctuated by thick seams of what I take to be calcite. Perhaps a geologist can comment further. (From 2007)

Dark black and white image showing an oddly light-colored sediment capping the much-darker, less-consolidated crumbling mudstone all around. The white caprock looks out of place in this dark, shale-colored terrain.

A massive mudstone hoodoo towers above the viewer. It is capped and protected by several flat rocks. To the right in the middle distance rises a bare mudstone pinnacle whose caprock has fallen away. There are scattered puffy clouds in the sky.

Here's some caprock action for #RockInTuesday. These ironstone slabs have protected the softer Cretaceous mudstone sediments below for eons. Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah, NW New Mexico.
