Steeply Angled Sandstone

Description:

A beautiful red and beige outcrop of sandstone, jutting at a steep angle from the desert ground. The deep ridges formed by the weathering of sandstone layers are sharply tilted. Presumably the sandstone was folded by the forces that extruded it above the earth. The rough edges of stone stripes form stark shadows in the late afternoon sun.
