Desert Icons

In California’s Red Rock Canyon area, this is a snippet from one of the ledges carved by wind erosion.

Interesting ledge Dick. Looks like a chocolate cake or an eclair. . . .very tempting.

Hi Dick, this is a very striking photo, could almost be a monster showing its teeth. I’m assuming that’s all sandstone, which is easily eroded by the wind. Reminds me of similar stand-alone formations in Utah’s Bryce Canyon NP, called hoodoos. Nicely seen!

Seems that I missed this originally… I like how you’ve emphasized the “figures” in this pano, Dick. The figures along the bottom look like a row of eroded Egyptian statues. I do wish for the bottom of the frame to not be so dark, especially near the left edge.

Good idea to lighten that up
