Many areas in Wyoming, among them the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, are are notable for their "chugwater" geologic formations, comprised of iron-rich sandstone dating to the Triassic period. Chugwater is unmistakable for its deep brick-redder-than-red color.
Chinle Formation. This shale of the Petrified Forest Member of the late Triassic Chinle Formation forms these barren valleys and flatlands across the Southwest. The unit is rich in bentonite, a clay derived from volcanic ash. Bentonite has the property of swelling when it gets wet. Under those conditions, the bentonite destroys the roots of plants, preventing the gradual development of soil. As a result, outcrops of the Chinle often form these barren landscapes devoid of plant life. Navajo Reservation. North of Cameron, Coconino Co., Arizona.
This area is an example of Nature's creativity. With rains and strong winds, the formations are changed. A Beautiful area for a snapshot....

Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers.
The top of Kinder Scout in the Peak District really provides some spectacular views. I was fortunate enough to enjoy some amazing weather while in England.
England has had some recent newspaper headlines that read "4 Million households where no adults work". This means that roughly 7 million Britons under-65-years-olds are currently living with no work experience. Britain even allocates over 36 billion pounds to 'jobseekers'. In other words, if you're out of a job, England will pay you to search for one. Being paid to 'search' for a job doesn't sound like much of an encouragement to find one. What I was even more shocked to learn is the incentives England provides to those who have kids: if you have a child, the government provides housing and a monthly wage. I couldn't find anything to substantiate this fact on the internet but I heard it from more than one person while visiting England.

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndags tema "formation" blev detta lilla röse högt upp på en klippa vid kusten utanför Fiskebäckskil. Varför gör man dessa formationer? Minnesmärke? För skeppen?

This is a macro of a geologic formation that I saw while visiting the Royal Ontario museum....I love the light and color here.... :-)

Sedimentary formations dot the landscape of Southern Africa between Upington, South Africa and Luderitz, Namibia. This is evidence that at one time in the past eons, this whole area was underwater. Image taken from a small plane flying over this barren yet colorful landscape with a personality all its own.
The interesting thing was to see how they ended up in this tight grouping. I was driving along and stopped to check the cows out as the light was very nice. They were walking along in a very loose group. When they saw me they turned and slowly curved into a tighter and tighter group until they were about 50 feet from me and then they just stopped and stared. Cows are very curious.
30 ish miles from my house is this fantastic set of rock formations in a red mesa. I have always wanted to go explore it and take pictures, especially a sunrise picture with the San Fransisco peaks (Flagstaff, AZ.) in the background. Me and my young son took off at five am, and where able to capture these shots. This is pure South West, USA landscape. God loves you! www.bbctkd.com/salvation

Westerlund 1 is the biggest and closest “super” star cluster to Earth. New data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, in combination with other NASA telescopes, is helping astronomers delve deeper into this galactic factory where stars are vigorously being produced.
This is the first data to be publicly released from a project called the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey, or EWOCS, led by astronomers from the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics in Palermo. As part of EWOCS, Chandra observed Westerlund 1 for about 12 days in total.
Currently, only a handful of stars form in our galaxy each year, but in the past the situation was different. The Milky Way used to produce many more stars, likely hitting its peak of churning out dozens or hundreds of stars per year about 10 billion years ago and then gradually declining ever since. Astronomers think that most of this star formation took place in massive clusters of stars, known as “super star clusters,” like Westerlund 1. These are young clusters of stars that contain more than 10,000 times the mass of the Sun. Westerlund 1 is between about 3 million and 5 million years old.
This new image shows the new deep Chandra data along with previously released data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The X-rays detected by Chandra show young stars (mostly represented as white and pink) as well as diffuse heated gas throughout the cluster (colored pink, green, and blue, in order of increasing temperatures for the gas). Many of the stars picked up by Hubble appear as yellow and blue dots.

This Hubble Space Telescope image of the Hickson Compact Group 31 (HCG 31) of galaxies highlights streams of star-formation as four dwarf galaxies interact. The bright, distorted clump of young blue-white stars (top-right of center) is NGC 1741. Although it appears to be a single galaxy, NGC 1741 is actually a pair of colliding dwarf galaxies. Another dwarf, cigar-shaped galaxy to the pair’s right joins their dance with a thin, blue stream of stars that connects the trio. HGC 31’s fourth member is revealed by a stream of young blue stars that point to the galaxy (bottom-left of center) and indicate its interaction with the other three. The bright object in the center of the image is a star situated between Earth and HCG 31.
Dwarf galaxy encounters are normally seen billions of light-years away, and therefore occurred billions of years ago, but HCG 31 is located some 166 million light-years from Earth, relatively close by cosmic standards. This image emphasizes star-forming regions spurred by the quartet’s gravitational dance. The color blue represents visible blue light and showcases young, hot, blue stars, while the color red represents near-infrared light.
