I was surprised to find an art installation in the grounds of Bristol University, a square maze of horizontal, reflective panels.
With the bright blue sky and the surrounding buildings, it was great fun seeing what sort of twisted and distorted compositions I could create.

There was a great display of crepuscular rays coming through the clouds over the town and I always appreciate this elegant perspective effect which makes it look like the photons travelling along parallel paths from the sun to the earth look like they fan out in different directions. It is no more complicated than understanding why two railroad tracks seem to move together as they disappear into the distance but this is a bit more spectacular.

en realidad la mente no lo desecha y es capaz de transitar a través de ello como a través de realidades paralelas"

These rock fins I found two days after the previous photo, in a place four miles away. They are in a remote area of the Paria Plateau not likely visited by anyone. I have also found similar intact flakes eight miles away in another direction, and on West Clark Bench 8 miles in the opposite direction. The process that produced these covered a large area, even out to Valley of Fire, Nevada, 150 miles to the west.
Layers of Navajo sandstone, initially laid down horizontally, with alternating bands of hardness, were tilted up at an angle, causing them to erode in fantastic ways like this. The rock fins can stick out of the ground several feet in places (see previous photo).
Delicate and easily breakable, these fins would not last long if a busload of children came out here to play. Fortunately, the bad roads and hiking distances make heavy visitation unlikely. Some of the flakes may have been broken by cattle. If you ever explore out here, stay away and don't disturb them. Leave them for others to wonder at. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see these in their intact state.
On my YouTube channel, you can watch my "New Discoveries on the Paria Plateau" where I found these. Three episodes have been posted so far, and another is coming later this month.

The Parallel Roads represent the shorelines of ice-dammed lakes. Typically they are narrow benches (several metres wide) cut into the bedrock of the hillsides and in places covered by remnants of lake beach gravel. They extend along much of Glen Roy and Glen Gloy and parts of Glen Spean. Probably they formed through a combination of intense frost weathering and wave action along the lake shore zone. The control of lake levels by the different cols allowed the lakes to persist for sufficiently long periods such that even the hard, Precambrian bedrock was broken up and eroded.
An ice field developed to the west of Glen Roy and the Great Glen, with a further ice centre to the south, over Rannoch Moor. Glaciers flowed eastwards along the glens from the ice field in the Western Highlands. One tongue of ice blocked the entrance to Glen Gloy, while another extended eastwards to block lower Glen Roy. Here it met a glacier that had extended into the middle section of Glen Spean. The blocking of Glen Spean led to a lake being impounded. As the glacier advanced up lower Glen Roy, it cut off a lake in this valley and the rising water eventually found its way across a pass.
A further advance of the glacier up Glen Roy resulted in the blocking of this exit for the water, and the lake rose further, to drain across the low ground at the head of the Roy and Spey glens. A lake at a higher level impounded in Glen Gloy drained through the head of this glen across a pass into Glen Roy. As the ice retreated, the overflows were unblocked in the reverse order; finally the ice dam broke near Spean Bridge and the lake drained away under the glacier very suddenly and rapidly towards the Great Glen
Reflection always makes a good subject for blue hour. The peacefulness and calmness usually compliment the scene well.

Two parallel runs in two consecutive shots!
