Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon is a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks.

Green Point
Gros Morne National Park
From Wikipedia; In 2000, the cliffs at Green Point were approved as the Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Ordovician system by the International Union of Geological Sciences. The boundary is a section 60m thick composed of layers of shale and limestone with overturned beds dipping 60-70 degrees to the South East. It is marked by the first appearance of Iapetognathus fluctivagus, a conodont fossil, 4.8m below the earliest known planktic graptolite fossil, Rhabdinopora praeparabola.[2]
The shales represent a 30 million year record of deep-ocean sediments laid in a base-of-slope environment in the Iapetus Ocean. The limestone layers indicate periodic avalanches from the shallower waters. Portions of the same limestone avalanches that came to rest further up the coastal slopes are featured at Cow Head. There, the individual rocks in the limestone conglomerate are much larger.[3]

Look for the red stuff! The red stuff may, and I mean may, contain Cretaceous fossils. That's a fern or flower with an age of 65 million years!! Make sure you bring your geology pick! Rare, extremely rare!
To see photos of fossils found in this area see:

Deformation of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks (marls) of the Helvetic nappes. Höhenweg 2400, near Gemschberg, Grindelwald, Switzerland. Helvetic nappes consist of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks
the rocks looked so pretty and colorful just on the surface of the lake. Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park, Montana
Rocky Mountaineer Rail Tour, Alberta or British Columbia, Canada In terms of color and layering, geology at its best! I am again location challenged on this one. Somewhere near Trans-Canada Highway, Route 1 between Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
Scanned from a Fujichrome Velvia slide.
Divers rock types, mainly marbles and shists were assembled here either trough glaciers or rockfall. Lake Sils is in the background.
Sometimes Big Bend looks like a giant spilled a box of geological exhibits.

Today walking is a bit more difficult as it is at an 40 degree angle! Belt Super group, Helena Formation (?)
I am fascinated by the results of geological upheavals. The layers of epochal processes are fascinating, and make hauling a geology guide around worthwhile. Mine is a bit battered from sliding around in the car(s) over the years!
This type of weathering is often associated with salts contained in the rock (in this case a sandstone) which accelerates the weathering process and causes the cavities in the rock. Seen in the Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, U.S.A. Photo originally taken with a Canon EOS 3 and a EF 75-300/4-5.6 II on Fuji Velvia 100.
I like to explore these beaches where the rocks have been tilted over the aeons ... they are food for the imagination and the soul.
This one, of a view of a huge rocky outcrop, is to finish off this short series of photos of angular rockpools. Thanks for looking.
Grand Canyon National Park. Considered one of the seven natural wonders of world. Honored as a World Heritage Site. Visited by five million or more each year.
Six thousand feet deep at its deepest point and up to 18 miles across at its widest, the canyon is immense and colorful with steep canyon walls and jutting mesas. Exposed geologic formations chronicle three of the earth's four eras of geologic history, making the Grand Canyon one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world.
Carved by the Colorado River over a period of six million years, it is one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is also one of the most biologically diverse with several major ecosystems that range from coyote willows at the river's edge to hanging gardens along the canyon walls to ponderosa pines along the canyon rims.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, sometimes referred to as the "other" Grand Canyon, is less populated with visitors and uniquely different from the South Rim.
With an average elevation of 8,000 feet, the North Rim offers views of the canyon from a higher vantage, in an environment and sub-alpine climate of blue spruce, Douglas fir, mountain ash, colorful lupines and grassland meadows. Look for Kaibab squirrels, goshawks, porcupines, mule deer and elk.

Amazingly, this 80m high hill of soft volcanic ash derived clay survived erosion. Although it referred to as blue clay, it comes in many colors, all of the having the nasty property of swelling when wet, not good to build on. Just recently the runway of the local airport had to be completely redone because it was built on blue clay....
A hard layer of paleosoil is visible just below the intense red layers. It is hard petrified jasperoid peat that formed between volcanic eruptions, and stretches for several hundred meters across the picture.
This bank of rock is just about 40 yards down the beach from the swirly sandstone outcrop of the previous shots. If you didn't know better, you would think that it was a man-made wall. The embedded boulders look to be set in cement.

I'm currently flirting with a blue/subdued processing style at the moment which hopefully works well when the sea and sky are almost matched in tones.
