Description
This is an old image taken with a 35mm Nikon 2020, C-41 film. It is also an image I've removed from the back of the gallery for a couple reasons. First and foremost was a comment JC had made on a recent post of "The Wave", A(link provided below). Now before getting to far ahead of myself, this is the north unit, access by special permit only! A mere quarter mile(402 meters) separate these two formations(A&B). Believe this is the formation JC was thinking of when commenting on the post, "The Wake", a new formation I found in the south unit. The official name of this formation is, "The Wave", B. How imaginative, right...LOL, leave it to a government agency for some good old sterile labeling. :~)
I want to thank bimm3d, Higherspirit, and MirageBay for there kind comments when I originally posted this. The fourth comment on the image I will leave nameless as he did not believe this place existed, and insisted I move the image to the genre of "photo manipulation".
To the kind souls that leave their mark whether a comment, rating, or save the image as a fav, you are very much appreciated, thank you!!!
Thank you all that viewed the last image in my gallery, Enter "The Wake"(not the link below).

wow this is very very cool!! never seen anything like it!! great shot!
Awesome and unique erosion
Excellent
Another astonishing work, Dana! As always, your photography is one of the most awesome ones I have seen. Your specialty is landscape and this is where you excel the most. I have not seen that post you had before, but all I can say, take it as a compliment, we all know for sure that you never do manipulation on your images. Your images should be printed in National Geographic, so professionally done!
WOW...This is splendid, incredible formation, beautiful work!
Amazing! What a silly person nameless was! This formation looks almost edible if it were a million times smaller...like a Mr.Whippy ice cream!
This is a spectacular sight to behold Dana, brilliant.
wonderful shot
The only manipulation has been done by mother nature and her wonderful work has been captured by you-Fantastic image
Thank you so so much...this beautiful photo makes me both happy and a bit sad ; happy, because I can see this magnificent formation once again (I call this "Fatali's formation" because the first time I saw it it was a shot by M. Fatali), sad because I'll probably will not get there any more. Everytime I went there, it was during the summer : very hot, stormy...I went there one time in october but I was caught by a huge storm...the way back to Page was not excatly easy !
This should be in photo manipulation as it's obviously fake. I can see where you have coloured it in with a biro and used tape to hold it all together................doesn't the internetzzzz breed such skeptics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great work as usual.
Amazing capture!!!!!!
I think it is a beautiful image and i love looking at it all and what ever the other person said which i have no idea of what there ignorance does show through sometimes i just refuse to deal with stupidity and ignore them so sorry u had to go through that but i feel even if i don't like the pic i give everyone the best rating and a nice comment as i would want them to do so as well,people need to learn to be nice to each other.
Seeing what Mother Nature can do over time, This is not a photo manipulation by any stretch of the imagination Wonderful capture Dana and I'm glad you posted it
