Arches National Park
Most of the formations at Arches are made of soft red sandstone deposited 150 million years ago. Much later, groundwater began to dissolve the underlying salt deposits. The sandstone domes collapsed and weathered into a maze of vertical rock slabs called "fins." Sections of these slender walls eventually wore through, creating the spectacular rock sculptures that visitors to Arches see today.

I don’t get to post shots of ocean waves like a lot of my Internet friends. But sometimes I feel like Southern Utah is a vast ocean of sandstone waves.
Recently I was able to enjoy the last days of autumn in southern Germany close to the boarder of France in the wonderful "Pfälzer Wald", the Rhineland-Palatinate Woodlands. These red sandstone rock formations are stunning. I was lucky to catch these evening sunbeams, which lasted only a couple of minutes before the sky got dark and cloudy again.

This free-access place, Paint Mines Interpretive Park, has amazing geology with colorful layers. You can literally walk into the sandstone castle. There is a cave inside, a great place to cool down in the summertime. Please take care of these fragile art pieces when you visit.

Upper Antelope Canyon, about 200m in length, is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack" Antelope Canyon "or" The Corkscrew ". The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánÃlÃnÃ, which means 'the place where water runs through rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazà (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.
Antelope Canyon's winding walls were carved by fast flowing flash flood waters. The floods carried abrasive sand, rocks logs and other debris picked up by the sudden torrents. Over millenia, these floods sculpted natural corridors through the soft sandstone. (sourced from internet)

I walked up a hill to the edge of a tall cliff and shot down with a zoom lens to a sandstone shelf next to the beach. I really don’t like standing on the edge of cliffs, especially holding a camera pointed down. Did get the image I was looking for.
Red Rock Canyon. On the left of the photo in the distance are blocks of sandstone cut from the old quarry.
Scalloway castle is one of only two castles in Shetland, Scotland. It is a four story tower house with decorative corbelling at the corners. It was built in 1600, with forced labour, from local limestone and sandstone from Orkney by the unpopular tyrant Patrick Stewart (son of Mary Queen of Scots half-brother Robert), who was beheaded in 1615 for oppression of the local people and treason. It is a scheduled monument, currently undergoing restoration.

I had a great time this weekend with Jay, Tom, Hilary, Casey & Selva out on the Oregon coast. We were rewarded with some nice light on Saturday night and cloudy but dry conditions on Sunday. None of this weekends workshop participants had been to the top of the dunes at Kiwanda which made the stop there even more rewarding. I have been doing quite a bit thinking lately with regards to workshops and the value & level of instruction I hope to provide my students. More & more I feel that the two day workshops are just not enough time, with many people just beginning to open up to the group and get comfortable near the end of our time together. It is because of this that I have decided to offer less workshops next year but increase the value & instruction I can offer. The first of these workshops I plan to announce will be a workshop covering the entire Oregon coast from Astoria to Samuel Boardman State Park over the course of 5 days. I also have a number of great ideas planned to make these workshops more rewarding and exciting! Stay tuned for more info or if you can't wait and want to know more please shoot me a message. I would love to chat about it. I also welcome any and all feedback from those who have taken my workshops, or those who have experienced workshops with other instructors about your experience and how you personally feel they could be more rewarding & valuable to those involved.
The beautiful red and white terraced sandstone here reminded me of nature's version of a racetrack. I captured this scene at the otherworldly White Pocket in northern Arizona's Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
I spent a mind expanding (yet chemical free) two weeks in the Southwest desert with Zack Schnepf and Tony Kuyper. We visited places that should only exist in the imagination and the light was hypnotic. This is a phase of twilight I call "Salmon Light" for the pink-orange glow it casts on the land. We patiently waited for it each day even though it only lasts for about 10 minutes in the morning and evening. More coming soon, but I have so much new material it is hard to find a starting point.
We are on national TV!!! 💃💃💃

NBC featured us, Action Photo Tours, in a segment about the Southwest on the TODAY show! I am beyond excited and want to thank all of you for your continuous support.
Four years ago, I left the stability of cooperate America to pursue a passion (well...a hobby, really) and started Action Photo Tours. I had no social media following, no client base, nor a solid business plan. But through your unwavering encouragement and support, Action Photo Tours is in it's fourth year of operations and our reach is steadily expanding. Thank you for being on this journey with me and always inspiring me to work harder, do better, and shoot more 😉!
Come and see us in the amazing desert Southwest!!
We stumbled upon a message from long ago canyon dwellers etched into the sandstone walls of a narrow canyon in Zion National Park. I wonder what meaning the person or persons who painstakingly inscribed these symbols in the rock walls meant to convey. The squiggly line could mean water or it might mean a snake or something else. I wonder if this is a message of triumph or a commemoration of a sorrowful event.
Torridonian sandstone outcrop on the NE spur of Farrmheall, with Beinn Spionnaidh and Cranstackie in the background.
The bedding plane is interestingly varied in this outcrop, as is the texture - some layers contain pebbles, which have been buried in the rock since the these deposits - from a river delta - were laid down approximately 1 billion years ago.
