Many millions of years ago when this sandstone was laid
down in a shallow sea, something changed for a period of time giving this very distinct red layer both a different color and a hardness that has caused it to weather quite differently from the white layer.
I love how nature repeats its forms in many different scales causing the scale in this photo to be quite ambiguous. (A clue: the boulder in the left center is about 18")

Staying up in the air for this one; a view of the lower elevation layers of the Andes Mountains in Chile.
Thanks for looking!

In a marsh pond area of Grand Teton National Park sits this rich layered scene of yellow shrubs and dense bare trees. If you don't already take photos of barren or stark trees in the "off season" check on my latest blog post for a little inspiration:
In late January, while my wife was in a ski camp with her students, my son and I spent 2 days trekking in the High Tatras. Loads of snow, sunny weather. The plan was to climb up to the ridge over 2000 metres and return to the tourist shelter by the frozen lake in the dark. Beds are booked weeks ahead but if you arrive late they let you sleep on the the floor of the restaurant for a small fee. That's what we did :)
Layers! Ogres have them. Deserts have them. In this case the harder stony layer on top protected the sandier striped layers beneath until the sand had eroded so much, the harder layer of rock began to break down and roll to the bottom of the striped hills.
From a walk this morning around the edge of the village. A nippy start to the day and a subtle sunrise, rather than anything too spectacular. Still, a nice way to start the day.
An early start ended up with a disappointing sunrise but made up for by the mist and peaceful conditions
Picture I've taken at sunset.
I love how the mountains seem like different layers. :)

Bottom layer is the original brick Route 66, then atop that is a layer of concrete and finally two sheets of tar. History in a slice.
There are many vantage points to look across the valley in the Jackson Hole along route 191 north toward Moran junction and see the Snake River along with interesting cloud formations that form especially a day after rain passes through the valley.
One of my favorite photography techniques is these surreal visuals that emerge when the reflections of glossy surfaces blend with the light transmission of transparent layers.
When flowing water is slowed down so that its texture becomes smooth and blurry it starts to resemble the texture of volcanic rock that formed deep under the earths surface and cooled slowly so that the crystals migrated through the fluid attracting like minerals creating layers. Blurred flowing water reveal how the surface reflects light in different patterns creating layers.
Nature often works in layers. Trees put on new rings each year, onions are often used as an example of how natural things are layered. Even the earth has layers of substances; core, mantel, and crust.
Man mimics this process. A group of houses becomes a village, expanding out to a town, streets with names, boulevards, expressways, followed by suburbs that are connected by a beltway that circles the city.
