Graphic example of arid zone erosion and mass movement; terrific pov getting up close to those big boulders. A bit of an optical illusion with that mid-frame orange pillar on the right - I find it difficult to see it as a pillar - it seems like I'm looking into a cave within the grey, fine-grained fan material. Even viewing original I struggle to shake the illusion. Old eyes I guess

Wonderful composition using the foreground shadows. Can't help admire that small but resilient tree. Shame about the donuts.

You're building a fine collection of arid zone teaching images; Mavica is being especially helpful. A fascinating, smaller scale example of preferential rock weathering here. Nice how you've got Mavica low enough to have the outcrop set against the sky.

Beats walking. So much fascinating terrain, so easily accessed. So enjoyable.

Lovely sidelighting that helps add presence to all the smaller plants.

Just plain desolate but still an impressive landscape. So much space. Love it.

What a contrast between the rock outcrops and the cactus garden. Pain everywhere!

I recognise elements of the geology; nice to get a closer glimpse of the darker, fine sediment fans on the valley floor. The crouching lion dominating the foreground is great.

No spare out there!? Eek! Ripper landscape from Mavica!

I totally endorse your decision!
