Shiny sandstone

Cliff in a side canyon of Lake Powell, probably Moqui Canyon. This ancient, complex pattern of sandstone deposition and erosion has been revealed by more recent erosion, probably in the past 5 million years, as the Colorado River cut its channel. A severe crop of the lower left is shown in another image.
