With art worthy of any museum in the world, the wall of Buckskin Gulch is admired by Moment’s Notice. As with Paria Canyon into which it flows, Buckskin Gulch is composed of Navajo Sandstone, deposited as massive sand dunes 200 million years ago. Water has carved what is considered the longest slot canyon in the Colorado Plateau (and perhaps anywhere), approximately 12 miles/ 19 km long, as narrow as 4 feet/ 1.2 m wide, with walls as high as 500 feet/ 150 m. Wind, water, and gravity have sculpted the canyon walls into beautiful forms and textures, with desert varnish adding some lovely streaks, illuminated here by sunlight reflected from the adjacent wall.
A three photo stitch.. light was fading fast as we headed back down but Skiddaw was still catching that golden light :-)
Ok, why not !
It would appear that quite unintentionally I have begun a little impromptu series of "Wall" pictures.
So ok. Let's post yet another wall.
OLYMPUS PEN Lite 6
The walls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone as seen looking from Artist Point toward the North Rim. The canyon walls are made up of rhyolite (Volcanic rock) that has been altered by hudrothermal activity (Hot sptings). Alteration of the rock gives the canyon its beautiful colors. The traces of several small hot springs can be seen on the canyon wall

Ceramic relief, made by Martina Funder. Cubist style, I'd say, although 1984 makes it a very late example! ;-}D
