These remarkable sandstone cliffs are part of the Jurassic Coast and are to the east of West Bay on the Dorset coast. With their alternating hard and softer sandstone layers they remind me of a wafer biscuit. The harder sandstone protrudes from the cliff-face about every three feet, with the softer version in between. It's known as the Bridport Sand Formation, and was deposited about 180 million years ago. Unfortunately, it becomes weaker when wet, and so continuous heavy rainfall can cause landslides.
The cliffs featured in Broadchurch, a British TV crime drama that aired from 2013 to 2017. The show ran for three series and had a total of 24 episodes. Some of the stars include David Tennant, Olivia Colman, and Jodie Whittaker.

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.
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.
Petra, the ancient city of the Nabataeans, is not only one of the most important sites of antiquity, but also a wonderland of eroded sandstone.

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!

Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres (19,000 ha) located 16 miles (26 km) south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.[5] It is Nevada's oldest state park, as commemorated with Nevada Historical Marker #150. It was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas.

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.

Somewhere along the Big Sur coast.
During my four-day loss of internet service, I decided I had enough images to start another collection, Shooting Sandstone.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
Going through the images and picking the best was something I have been thinking about for a while now. Thanks to AT&T, I finally had time.
A beautiful fall evening in the New River Gorge finds NKP 765 highballing westward at Sandstone, WV on the former C&O main line.
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.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
This cliff is at my favorite place on the California coast, Pescadero State Beach.
From my Shooting Sandstone collection.
Cathedral Rock is a natural sandstone butte on the Sedona skyline and one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. After a weekend drive around Northern Arizona, Sedona was my last stop before heading home to San Diego. While I'm happy that I finally got a decent reflection photo of Cathedral Rock, it certainly wasn't the easiest reflection photo that I have ever taken. Steady winds over 10 mph made this an exercise in patience, desire and persistence. DSC_5650A
A photo of the Monroe County Courthouse in Albia, Iowa. Built in 1903 with a Renaissance style architecture and a heavy sandstone exterior, this three-story structure cost the County approximately $100,000. It is the central piece of the Town Square in Albia and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

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.
Nitmiluk Gorge near Katherine, in the Northern Territory.
The gorges and the surrounding landscape have great ceremonial significance to the local Jawoyn people, who are custodians of Nitmiluk National Park. In the Jawoyn language, Nitmiluk means "place of the cicada dreaming".
Nitmiluk is the Jawoyn name for Katherine Gorge. There are many Aboriginal rock art paintings on sandstone walls throughout the gorge system, some of which are thousands of years old.
