The beauty of sculptured sandstone on full display, with waves of tiered red rock swooping into the image from the left, pointing toward a white-capped, bulbous prominence over a layer cake of stone of different textures. The sky is blue and featureless. Canon 6D, 16mm, f/8

Frozen flow
Time warped
Twisting without breaking
Impermanence defiant

The complex sedimentation and erosion patterns on this desertscape draw the eye in and around the image. Unfortunately, the sky looks washed out and does nothing to enhance the image. Canon 6D, f/8.

An image taken with the camera slightly farther back and aimed more to the right, showing the same massive rock feature in the other image, but here emphasizing the "saturn ring" lines sweeping from right to upper center. The sky contains a single wispy blot of cloud. Canon 6D, f/8

A pair of complementary compos at White Pocket for #Scape day

A person, rendered tiny by the vast landscape around them, stands atop a knuckle of white brain rock at the edge of a chasm. The geology of the terrain is astonishingly complex and artistic, as if swirled in a blender. A few puffy clouds hover in a pale blue sky.

It is apparently impossible for an Instagrammer to refrain from having their picture taken while standing on this particular prominence.

"Pockets within a Pocket". Much of the terrain at White Pocket is barren sandstone, but there are always pockets where moisture collects - and therefore where life grows. Click to see individual images.

Low-key image of a swirling sandstone dunescape, capped by a cauliflower-like rock structure. In the middle distance at left is another rocky mound. The sky is a nearly featureless dark.

One more for #Stunday, again from my visit to White Pocket in n. AZ - I processed this in both color and b&w, and the monochrome clearly came out on top in terms of visual impact.

A mass of textured rock seems to flow like a river from upper right to lower left across this image. In the background we see a crenulated butte rising against an almost featureless dark sky. A few puffy clouds are present.

The weight of the world

"Galactic Swirl" - the Milky Way rises above the red/white striped Navajo sandstone of White Pocket.

Some of the surreal geologic formations at White Pocket in northern Arizona: swirling layers of red & white Navajo sandstone, and weathered hills that look like brains or cauliflower. A real photographic playground.

A lone tree, thriving in stone. I stitched this pano at White Pocket to show the full scale—harsh, vast, and silent. Life finds a way. 🌲

Waited out the clouds at White Pocket, and it paid off. The light finally broke through and lit up the stone like fire. Nature always rewards patience. Shot on my Canon R5 II.
