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.

View from Tianzi Mountain in Wulingyuan. The mountain is the highest point of the national park with stunning views of sandstone formations.
The geotag is assigned by memory and may be a little approximate (it definitely is at the top of Tianzi mountain, however). However, this potential inaccuracy may not matter. Geotagging images from China is very tricky: maps often do not match satellite data and shift over time. I find that carefully placed geotags become increasingly inaccurate as time goes by. This is crazy and does not happen with images anywhere else.

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.

Ceiling of a house carved from the rock in the Nabataean town of Petra / Jordan. Through erosion, three-dimensional works of art have emerged over the centuries that unfold their true color splendor in indirect light (usually at noon).

by erosion exposed layers of sandstone under an overhanging rock, Petra/Wadi Musa/Jordan. The "sandstone art" is about 1 meter wide and three-dimensional, not flat. I discovered it in the near of the "High place of Sacrifice".

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.
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
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.
In our part of the world, we are blessed with rivers that run over red sandstone. This gives way to a unique erosion and offers deeps colours that us photographers love.
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.
2 days in the Palatinate Forest with a backpack, more than 50km distance and nature without end :)
Especially impressive are the high sandstone rocks in the forest.
Hikers walk towards a bend in the Paria River that has carved out a massive alcove over the millennia. Note the top of the alcove is not the top of the canyon, which reaches up above in the upper left of the photo. Note also the small green patch 2/3rds of the way up on the left side where a spring emerges from the Navajo Sandstone.
The narrowness of the canyon coupled with periodic floods makes human habitation impractical. There are some pictographs and petroglyphs in a couple of places but there's no indication Puebloan cultures farmed in the canyon or built dwellings. One of the first recorded trips through the canyon was given by John D. Lee in 1870. Lee was banished to the lower reaches of the Paria River (Lonely Dell) by the Mormon Church because of his role in the Mountain Meadows massacre in 1857. Lee drove his cattle through the canyon for 3 days straight without stopping as he felt there was no place safe to camp. Today travel is regulated to help sustain the character and environment of the canyon in the face of potential overuse.
Had a really enjoyable 7 mile walk along the Sansdtone Trail at the weekend. Started in Delamere Forest and ended up near Urchins Kitchen before looping back.

Just because I like shooting the shapes and textures of sandstone.
This is one of the sandstone cliffs at Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, California.
These red sandstone cliffs are just to the west of Sidmouth on the coast of East Devon. Remarkably, there is a thin band of chalk at the top of the cliffs and numerous houses at this end of Sidmouth have used the flints from the chalk in their construction. Peak Hill - the nearest cliff - rises to around 500 feet above sea level. Flints can be seen piled up on the beach beneath the cliffs.
