SURFACING

These rocks are normally caressed and covered by the current of a backcountry desert river. During low flows, they breach the surface of pools filled with silt and debris carried from higher elevations as well as minerals, microorganisms, and massive rock falls carried from flash floods into the river's bed.

 

A slick blanket of incandescent colors, created by the decomposition of all that settling miasma, nestle up to their exposed faces to give audience to winter's dimming light.
