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.

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".
durch Erosion freigelegte Schichten aus Sandstein unter einem überhängenden Felsen, Petra/Wadi Musa/Jordanien. Das Felsbild ist ca. 1 Meter breit und dreidimensional, nicht flächig. Das Bild oben habe ich in der Nähe des "Hohen Opferplatzes" entdeckt.

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.
An area of eroded sandstone shapes named Little Egypt near Hanksville, Utah contains some interesting configurations.
Perhaps it's because of the holiday season that the central group in this image almost looks like a manger scene to me.
Happy Slider Sunday!
Each time we return to Portugal we return to this Sandstone Arch and are amazed at the progress of the errosion of this arch.
This was taken at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.. It’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches and other geological formations. This probably has an official name, but it look like a conversation group to me.
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.
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
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.

Just because I like shooting the shapes and textures of sandstone.

Sandstone channel in Eocene Willwood Formation along the Dorsey Creek Road near Elk Creek in the Sheep Mountain Badlands south of Burlington, Wyoming.
This hoodoo is one of the badland features visible from the trail that leads from the The Gooseberry Badlands overlook near Gooseberry Creek, Wyoming. This overlook lies along WY 431 and provides a glimpse of the badlands formations common in Early Eocene Willwood formation of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. The Willwood, famous for its mammalian fossils, consists of a series of cyclic fluvial (stream/river) and floodplain deposits. This hoodoo is composed of a fluvial sand lying atop floodplain claystones.
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.
