Sandstone channel in Eocene Willwood Formation along the Dorsey Creek Road near Elk Creek in the Sheep Mountain Badlands south of Burlington, Wyoming.
At Keg Knoll I am always up at dawn, ready for the magic that plays out as earth's rotation brings the sun into view. In the first several minutes, the light has a reddish hue, for sunlight is traveling through 40 times as much air as it does at noon, filtering the shorter wavelengths of visible light. Here, as the sun was rising, its wan red light picked out the intricate texture of sandstone.
This is ancient Native American ruin hidden in an alcove on a canyon wall. It's named after the textures and colors in sandstone.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
Last one I promise, I just couldn't resist sharing the sandstone sculptures that sit on Sgorr Tuath in the only real light I got all weekend

A beautiful fall evening in the New River Gorge finds NKP 765 highballing westward at Sandstone, WV on the former C&O main line.
Upper Antelope Canyon, Page AZ
I was able to tour both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. The shapes and patterns of the sandstone are nothing short of amazing!
Somewhere along the Big Sur coast.
During my four-day loss of internet service, I decided I had enough images to start another collection, Shooting Sandstone.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
Going through the images and picking the best was something I have been thinking about for a while now. Thanks to AT&T, I finally had time.
The largest waterfall on the New River in West Virginia, spanning 1,500 feet across with a few islands that divide it up. There's a nice boardwalk here, so it's an easy walk from the parking lot to different points along the falls.

On the southwest corner of the San Joaquin Valley the Temblor Range and the San Emigdio Mountains which are part of the Transverse Range come together forming a rounded “wall” of cliffs and steep slopes. The San Andres fault system passes through this corner “wall”. Eroded Miocene(?) sandstone and conglomerate form cliffs along the Santiago Creek Drainage as part the “wall”. The San Andres fault runs in the drainage between the forested ridge and the barren ridge at the top of the photo. This photo was taken from the road that runs along the rim of the cliffs, Hudson Ranch Road in Los Padres National Forest. At this spot the road follows near the Kern-Ventura County Line. This photo was taken from Ventura County but the cliffs lie in Kern County. The name of the road can be a bit confusing. For years the road was known as Cerro Nordeste Road for the peak just to the south. A few years ago the road name was changed by Kern County to Hudson Ranch Road. The road was not named for one of the famous ranches named Hudson in California but at the request of a resident family.
Near The Wave in North Coyote Buttes, Arizona.
Striated layers of Navajo sandstone undulate under erosive forces, gradually uncovering rock formed in the Jurassic Period, 150 to 190 million years ago.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
This cliff is at my favorite place on the California coast, Pescadero State Beach.
From my Shooting Sandstone collection.
Second in my short landscape series, this shot features Navajo Sandstone, a geological formation that is spread across the parts of the U.S. states of Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah as part of the Colorado Plateau. The formation's range of colors include red, brown, pink, salmon, gold, and even white most of which appear in this image from Zion National Park in Utah.
Five of the most spectacular U.S. national parks (Zion, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Canyonlands) consist mainly of Navajo Sandstone.
Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres (19,000 ha) located 16 miles (26 km) south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.[5] It is Nevada's oldest state park, as commemorated with Nevada Historical Marker #150. It was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas.

A very nice long waterfall at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. New River Gorge became the 63rd national park on December 27, 2020 so I had to go and take a look.
Juniper Beach Provincial Park
Sandstone bluffs and sagebrush are kind of a classic shot which really typifies the Kamloops region. If I were to turn around 180 degrees and shoot, I'd get a shot of the Thompson River. And, yes, there is something of a sandy beach there justifying the name Juniper Beach.
A photo of the Monroe County Courthouse in Albia, Iowa. Built in 1903 with a Renaissance style architecture and a heavy sandstone exterior, this three-story structure cost the County approximately $100,000. It is the central piece of the Town Square in Albia and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
