Seen while walking the cliffs in the area Carvoeiro in the southern Algarve region of Portugal, recent rockfalls show the effect of coastal erosion. The stunning effects of nature on this sandstone is quite amazing to see.

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".

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!
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.
Each time we return to Portugal we return to this Sandstone Arch and are amazed at the progress of the errosion of this arch.
The picturesque medieval village of Salles sur Cérou with its red sandstone houses, has retained its medieval charm
Salles was the scene of Crusade disorder against the Albigensians.
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.
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.
The first wave of the storm arrived in the wee hours of the morning with thunder, snow squalls, and continued high winds. The snow covered all except the steepest rock faces and the areas protected by the overhang of White Rim Sandstone. A layer of ice coated many of the rock surfaces as the snow melted initially and then froze. A brief respite in the storm with a few breaks in the clouds after sunrise allowed a view toward the Maze District of Canyonlands NP, including Ekker Butte in the center of the frame.
North of the exit to Monument Valley from Highway 163, beautiful sandstone formations glow in sunset light.
This formation is in northern Utah, and is the homologue of the more famous Navajo Sandstone down south. It underlies landforms in the Wasatch foothills. Shot with 35mm Tri-X and digitally scanned.
Just because I like shooting the shapes and textures of sandstone.
This is one of the sandstone cliffs at Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, California.
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.

...in the enormous spaces of Assynt. Suilven, Cul Mor, Cul Beag and the river Kirkaig.......The oldest rock formation, Lewisian Gneiss, creates a landscape of low hills and scattered lochans. Rising from this gneiss landscape are huge ‘islands’ of Torridonian sandstone (occasionally capped by quartzite) that resisted the erosive powers of the last Ice Age. These stubborn survivors form the iconic mountains that make the landscape here so distinctive.
Amer Palace (Hindi, also spelled and pronounced as Amber) is located in Amer, a town with an area of 4 square kilometres located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. Located high on a hill, it is the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area. The town of Amer was originally built by Meenas, and later it was ruled by Raja Man Singh.
Amer Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake. It is the main source of water for the Amer palace.
The aesthetic ambiance of the palace is seen within its walls. Constructed of red sandstone and marble, the attractive, opulent palace is laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard.
Hello everyone ... long time, no see. I've been spending a bit of time wandering the coastline over the past months ... mainly near home in South East Scotland, but up in the North West, when it's been permissible, too. This series is of some close-ups of the sedimentary sandstone and mudstone rocks I've been looking at. I hope they give an impression of the forms, textures, tones and 'designs' that always delight and amaze me in weathered rocks like these.
