Beach in a Cave.
On the Algarve Coast the erosion of the sandstone has created numerous caves, this one is so large that it has its own beach with a huge vent hole in the roof. The roof hole is caused by acid rain penetrating fault lines in the sandstone from above.

The Sandstone Sphinx of Death Valley, also known as Manly Beacon, illuminated with dappled early morning light.
Sandstone waterfall are the largest waterfall in West Virginia. They are created by a 4.5- 6 m drop of the New River and are about 456 m wide (1,500 feet). The falls are divided by little islands and are a challenge to photograph because they require some walk and cross over some little water streams and this can or cannot be possible depending on the weather.

Wulingyuan Park, located in the Hunan Province of China, has a diverse landscape that changes with each season. The only constant is the fog that surrounds the quartz sandstone karst pillars. I spent about 4 hours in the park and was fortunate to occasionally see the fog lift so that I could capture these amazing natural formations.
After several days of shooting with David Swindler, he kindly invited me to join his group out to White Pocket. WP has been at the top of my list for several years, so thanks to David I was able to strike that one off my list. That's Cody Wilson way off in the background, I happened to look up from my composition and noticed he was going to have to remove me from his photo if I didn't high tail it out of his shot. So I fired off a couple so that he would lend a sense of scale to the scene. Had a lot of fun shooting here but if you show up during the day its not nearly as impressive as dusk. All the textures start to pop out and the sandstone glows in the twilight. Had a great time and met some really nice people.
For a great photography adventure at the best times of the day or night, look no further than ActionPhotoTours.com, David is an award winning accomplished landscape photographer, and all around nice guy.

Sandstone picture in the finest color gradations, seen in the Siq, the over 70 meters deep canyon of 1.5 kilometers in length and at the same time access to the rock city of Petra / Jordan. It's easy to miss this motif because you are constantly waiting to see "The Treasury" at the end of the Siq. Only indirect light gets there, a tripod is recommended for a photo.
Sandstein-Bild in feinsten Farbabstufungen, gesehen im Siq, der über 70 Meter tiefen Felsschlucht von 1,5 Kilometer Länge und gleichzeitig Zugang zur Felsenstadt Petra/Jordanien. Dieses Motiv kann man leicht übersehen, weil man ständig darauf wartet, am Ende des Siq das Schatzhaus zu sehen. Dorthin gelangt nur indirektes Licht, Stativ ist für ein Foto zu empfehlen.

Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, also known as the Pink City, is a very important monument of the city. The monument is five stories high and the front of the monument is delicately carved with beautiful motifs. It is an outstanding example of the Rajput style of architecture. Hawa Mahal is not exactly a palace but more like a screen of superbly sculpted windows that look like the front of a palace. The palace was built for the royal ladies of Rajasthan to view the busy city life from inside a veil. The panoramic view of the pyramid shaped palace of winds looks brilliantly magnificent. Blue sky forming the background of this pink sandstone structure makes it appearance mystic and beautiful!

There's a curving sandstone wall along the cliff top at a coastal town near here. The red sandstone is blasted relentlessly by the winds off the North Sea. The resulting weathering of the individual stones in the wall is fantastic. The mortar holding it together is also carved into fabulous forms. Here is a little series of four of the stones.
This monochrome image was taken in the hills of the Artist Palette area of Death Valley, California. The morning light on this peak caught my eye.
We traveled out on the shoulder of the rugged Nine Mile Canyon. On the lip of this sandstone bowl we found a view of the Colorado River hundreds of feet below. The huge bowl funnels water into Nine Mile Canyon and on into the Colorado River. The small pool is what is left of the latest rainstorm. I would not like to be standing here when the rain water is rushing down the steep walls of the bowl carving sandstone on its way.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
Each time we return to Portugal we return to this Sandstone Arch and are amazed at the progress of the errosion of this arch.
After a long day of hiking the New River Gorge in West Virginia, I had just enough time and energy to catch a sunset at Sandstone Falls. You could feel the raw elemental power of nature here with the roar of the water and many downed trees from beaver activity. A rock island juts out near the falls allowing you to essentially stand right on top of water. The light of the afternoon had been harsh, but the afterglow of sunset hitting the autumn colored hills softened the scene. I shot until last light, and drive home exhausted but enthralled with the beauty of these old wild hills.
Three Escalante Railway SD40-2s have departed the Peabody Mine with coal loads for the Escalante Power Plant as they snake through the rocky New Mexico landscape in their last weeks of operation. The operation ceased April 29th with the closure of the Escalante Power Plant. Ojo del Hijinio, NM
This was taken at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.. It’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches and other geological formations. This probably has an official name, but it look like a conversation group to me.
North of the exit to Monument Valley from Highway 163, beautiful sandstone formations glow in sunset light.
The Sandstone area has countless natural rock formations or 'breakaways' that contrast dramatically with the rust-stained landscapes.
Believed to be 350 million years old, one of the most spectacular breakaways known as 'London Bridge' was once wide enough to allow a horse and sulky to cross. Over the years, however, it has been eroded to its present width of one metre.
This formation is in northern Utah, and is the homologue of the more famous Navajo Sandstone down south. It underlies landforms in the Wasatch foothills. Shot with 35mm Tri-X and digitally scanned.
The Greater Blue Mountains Area consists of 1.03 million ha of sandstone plateaux, escarpments and gorges dominated by temperate eucalypt forest. The site, comprised of eight protected areas, is noted for its representation of the evolutionary adaptation and diversification of the eucalypts in post-Gondwana isolation on the Australian continent. Ninety-one eucalypt taxa occur within the Greater Blue Mountains Area which is also outstanding for its exceptional expression of the structural and ecological diversity of the eucalypts associated with its wide range of habitats. The site provides significant representation of Australia's biodiversity with ten percent of the vascular flora as well as significant numbers of rare or threatened species, including endemic and evolutionary relict species, such as the Wollemi pine, which have persisted in highly-restricted microsites.

Hello everyone ... long time, no see. I've been spending a bit of time wandering the coastline over the past months ... mainly near home in South East Scotland, but up in the North West, when it's been permissible, too. This series is of some close-ups of the sedimentary sandstone and mudstone rocks I've been looking at. I hope they give an impression of the forms, textures, tones and 'designs' that always delight and amaze me in weathered rocks like these.
Like something from a Dr. Seuss book, or a surrealist's vision of a garden, these hoodoos in the Valley of Dreams are especially striking when lit at sunrise or sunset. The sandstone, shaped alternately by wind and water erosion evolves into odd forms akin to mushrooms or crowds of people under flat rooftops, gathering to watch their observers.
Located in the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness study area, south of Farmington, NM, this outcropping of sandstone formations and others nearby are surrounded by miles of desert grassland and scrub which give little indication that such wonders would appear in their midst.
Not quite as colorful as the hoodoos in Utah, these evoke a different sense of disconnect from their surroundings, almost as if a gathering place for some other lifeforms, not intended to be found by humans.
Congrats on Explore!
