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.
Storm clouds provide a dramatic backdrop for an outrop of Pennsylvanian Tensleep Sandstone and juniper trees along the park road near the Wyoming Montana border.
This is ancient Native American ruin hidden in an alcove on a canyon wall. It's named after the textures and colors in sandstone.
Happy Saturated Saturday!

Near The Wave in North Coyote Buttes, Arizona.
Striated layers of Navajo sandstone undulate under erosive forces, gradually uncovering rock formed in the Jurassic Period, 150 to 190 million years ago.
The largest waterfall on the New River in West Virginia, spanning 1,500 feet across with a few islands that divide it up. There's a nice boardwalk here, so it's an easy walk from the parking lot to different points along the falls.

On the southwest corner of the San Joaquin Valley the Temblor Range and the San Emigdio Mountains which are part of the Transverse Range come together forming a rounded “wall” of cliffs and steep slopes. The San Andres fault system passes through this corner “wall”. Eroded Miocene(?) sandstone and conglomerate form cliffs along the Santiago Creek Drainage as part the “wall”. The San Andres fault runs in the drainage between the forested ridge and the barren ridge at the top of the photo. This photo was taken from the road that runs along the rim of the cliffs, Hudson Ranch Road in Los Padres National Forest. At this spot the road follows near the Kern-Ventura County Line. This photo was taken from Ventura County but the cliffs lie in Kern County. The name of the road can be a bit confusing. For years the road was known as Cerro Nordeste Road for the peak just to the south. A few years ago the road name was changed by Kern County to Hudson Ranch Road. The road was not named for one of the famous ranches named Hudson in California but at the request of a resident family.
Second in my short landscape series, this shot features Navajo Sandstone, a geological formation that is spread across the parts of the U.S. states of Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah as part of the Colorado Plateau. The formation's range of colors include red, brown, pink, salmon, gold, and even white most of which appear in this image from Zion National Park in Utah.
Five of the most spectacular U.S. national parks (Zion, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Canyonlands) consist mainly of Navajo Sandstone.
Juniper Beach Provincial Park
Sandstone bluffs and sagebrush are kind of a classic shot which really typifies the Kamloops region. If I were to turn around 180 degrees and shoot, I'd get a shot of the Thompson River. And, yes, there is something of a sandy beach there justifying the name Juniper Beach.
A very nice long waterfall at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. New River Gorge became the 63rd national park on December 27, 2020 so I had to go and take a look.
Sandstone cliffs on the edge of Sydney Harbour.

Nature's artistry at it's finest. Wonderful eroded sandstone on the Northumberland coast. It's like finding buried treasure - literally, as returning a few days later to this scene it was pretty much buried in sand .....and foot prints - the tides and wind doing their thing as well as the local populace of humans and dogs. One can only wonder at the forces of nature over centuries or millenia that have created such wonderful natural carvings. It does make you think what else may be under the sand!
Soft afternoon sun lights up the cliffs behind this elegant old gumtree. Where are the koalas when you need them?
