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.
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, between Utah and Arizona. It is a major vacation spot with 2 million visitors per year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir by maximum water capacity in the United States. It was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, an American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869.

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.
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.

After several days of shooting with David Swindler, he kindly invited me to join his group out to White Pocket. WP has been at the top of my list for several years, so thanks to David I was able to strike that one off my list. That's Cody Wilson way off in the background, I happened to look up from my composition and noticed he was going to have to remove me from his photo if I didn't high tail it out of his shot. So I fired off a couple so that he would lend a sense of scale to the scene. Had a lot of fun shooting here but if you show up during the day its not nearly as impressive as dusk. All the textures start to pop out and the sandstone glows in the twilight. Had a great time and met some really nice people.
For a great photography adventure at the best times of the day or night, look no further than ActionPhotoTours.com, David is an award winning accomplished landscape photographer, and all around nice guy.

Sandstone formation, Zion National Park, Utah. Processed with Lightroom,Photoshop and Topaz filters.
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.
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.
Started reviewing the unprocessed images from our 2019 Utah trip and will begin to post some of them. These ancient colorful sand dunes are 190 million years old and consist of high-angled cross-bedded sandstone. It's a great place to climb and explore on foot.
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.
I have mentioned before that I like to shoot sandstone for the interesting shapes and textures.
But here, on what was otherwise another fairly flat section of cliff face, I found this bit that hadn't eroded away with the rest of the face, leaving a couple of bumps sticking out and making some cool, almost abstract, lines and shadows.
Yes, I do see the snake.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, just south of Carmel, California.
A completely untouched rock formation made of eroded sandstone, seen on a hike in the mountains of the Sinai Peninsula/Egypt.
I ask for your understanding that I do not give the exact location, because almost everything that is visited by the masses is smeared with nonsensical stuff in a short time.

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.
