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.

Wulingyuan Park, located in the Hunan Province of China, has a diverse landscape that changes with each season. The only constant is the fog that surrounds the quartz sandstone karst pillars. I spent about 4 hours in the park and was fortunate to occasionally see the fog lift so that I could capture these amazing natural formations.
Millions of years of wind, water and sand have created these rock formations. Indirect light in the late morning conjure up a picture of the colorful sandstone with many color gradations.
Location: Top Rock Plateau, Coyote Buttes North, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

Sandstone picture in the finest color gradations, seen in the Siq, the over 70 meters deep canyon of 1.5 kilometers in length and at the same time access to the rock city of Petra / Jordan. It's easy to miss this motif because you are constantly waiting to see "The Treasury" at the end of the Siq. Only indirect light gets there, a tripod is recommended for a photo.
Sandstein-Bild in feinsten Farbabstufungen, gesehen im Siq, der über 70 Meter tiefen Felsschlucht von 1,5 Kilometer Länge und gleichzeitig Zugang zur Felsenstadt Petra/Jordanien. Dieses Motiv kann man leicht übersehen, weil man ständig darauf wartet, am Ende des Siq das Schatzhaus zu sehen. Dorthin gelangt nur indirektes Licht, Stativ ist für ein Foto zu empfehlen.

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.

There's a curving sandstone wall along the cliff top at a coastal town near here. The red sandstone is blasted relentlessly by the winds off the North Sea. The resulting weathering of the individual stones in the wall is fantastic. The mortar holding it together is also carved into fabulous forms. Here is a little series of four of the stones.
The Den of Alyth is designated a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) due to the upland oak woodland within the gorge. The Alyth Burn is within the River Tay Special Area for Conservation, a designation which seeks to give protection to various river species, most notable the Atlantic salmon.
Over 10,000 years ago torrents of meltwater from the Cairngorm ice mass, loaded with rock debris, scoured the soft sandstone creating the deep gorge which we see today. On the steep cliffs which in places tower over the river you can spot the exposed reddish rock known as Old Red Sandstone. In the 1800s some of this stone was quarried and used to build the town of Alyth. Today, it is a much smaller stream which winds its way around boulders and rock obstacles, creating places to paddle and observe the wildlife.
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.
We traveled out on the shoulder of the rugged Nine Mile Canyon. On the lip of this sandstone bowl we found a view of the Colorado River hundreds of feet below. The huge bowl funnels water into Nine Mile Canyon and on into the Colorado River. The small pool is what is left of the latest rainstorm. I would not like to be standing here when the rain water is rushing down the steep walls of the bowl carving sandstone on its way.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
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
The Sandstone area has countless natural rock formations or 'breakaways' that contrast dramatically with the rust-stained landscapes.
Believed to be 350 million years old, one of the most spectacular breakaways known as 'London Bridge' was once wide enough to allow a horse and sulky to cross. Over the years, however, it has been eroded to its present width of one metre.
North of the exit to Monument Valley from Highway 163, beautiful sandstone formations glow in sunset light.
Located near the Town of Hinton, WV, Sandstone Falls is supposedly the largest waterfall on the New River. While it only drops anywhere from 10 to 25 feet, it is located at a spot on the New River that is nearly 1500 feet wide.

Monument Valley, like no other place on earth. This formation is called the EYE.

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.
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
The Greater Blue Mountains Area is a deeply incised sandstone tableland that encompasses a million hectares of eucalypt-dominated landscape, just inland from Sydney. This landscape supports an exceptional representation of the taxonomic, physiognomic and ecological diversity that eucalypts have developed: an outstanding illustration of the evolution of plant life. A number of rare and endemic plants, including relict flora such as the Wollemi pine, also occur here.
The geology and geomorphology of 300 metre cliffs, slot canyons and waterfalls, make this a special landscape with many outstandng qualities. The Undercliff Track is just one of many routes that allow access into this remarkable wilderness of outstanding beauty.
