Tapestry Wall, Lake Powell. The lake level fluctuates with variable inflow and discharge from Glen Canyon Dam, creating a bathtub ring that was 100' high on this occasion. The red color results from dissolved iron salts running down from iron-rich formations higher up. The light color is where the iron oxides have leached out during high-water times.

Leach’s Petrel (Hydrobates leucorhous) is a difficult bird to see in Britain as it only nests on remote islands like St Kilda and Sula Sgeir, and even here it only returns to its nest under cover of darkness. The best place to see them from land in Britain is from the Wirral in autumn after strong north-westerly gales. Yesterday the weather looked promising courtesy of Storm Amy, so I went across to the Wirral. I managed to see a number, mostly distant, but one closer bird enabled me to get a photograph. Leach’s Petrels are a bit larger than Storm Petrel with a pale bar across the wings, and a characteristic forked tail. Here’s a European Storm Petrel in a similar pose for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52239759374/in/photolist
It is named after William Elford Leach (1790-1836) who managed to outbid rivals at an auction in 1819 when he bought what he thought was the only known specimen for his employers, the British Museum. The auction was a sale of William Bullock’s collection of 3000 bird specimens and Leach bought the petrel for £5 15s (and a Great Auk with egg for £16). The petrel had been collected in 1818 on St Kilda by Bullock himself and was the first British specimen. Temminck named the petrel Procellaria Leachii, however it transpired that three other specimens had already been collected, including one in Baillon’s collection, taken in Picardy (North France) and described by Viellot in 1817, which was the year before Bullock collected his specimen. So Viellot’s name leucorhoa, meaning white rump, took precedence over leachii. It was originally in the genus Oceanodroma (ocean wanderer) but in 2021 it was been placed in Hydrobates (water wanderer) following a molecular study of the Storm Petrels. One final thing; The scientific name leucorhous derives from the Greek word órrhos meaning rump or tail, but it is originally where the word arse derives, and still survives in the word haemorrhoid, which literally means bloody arsed.
This is a relatively poorly welded tuff, with many gas vesicles (flattened by the pressure of overlying rock) and xenoliths (foreign rock), including the dark red clast in the center (likely lining of the magma chamber ripped of during the explosion). The total volume of the Leach Canyon formation is estimated to 3600 cubic kilometers (830 cubic miles) and represents the largest and apparently initial eruption of this sequence of eruptions in the Caliente-Indian Peak caldera complex straddling the Nevada-Utah border, now about 100 km from this location. This formation is about 100feet (30m) thick in this area.
Large vat used for leaching in the mining process This mill opened in the 1980s and closed in 1995 after the market dropped. Due to the hazardous materials left behind it became a superfund site due to cyanide used in the leaching process being left behind
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, handheld light producing deviceset to yellow.
Treated with Bloody Mary effect in Luminar - giving it the appearance that the color is leaching from the leaf.
05.10.2017 - New Brighton Wirral - One of those birds in its environment shots which normally means they were too far away,which this was ,but to see such small dainty birds battling with the Sea and the storm ,so close to home is amazing.
