Description
Sedona, Arizona
Here's the really short version:
This area was once covered in shallow seas, and layers of sediment drifted to the bottom and eventually turned to rock. The land rose, the seas went away, and since then erosion has carved these interesting forms.
There you go.
If you want more information, check the Wiki on the Colorado Plateau.
Tomorrow I'll show you a better picture of the layers.

Beautiful capture, and great info. It's hard to imagine this as a sea. It's amazing how our world changes over time.
Life on a geologically-active planet is quite a lot of fun, but it does get jiggly every so often, what with all of that...um...geological activity. But it looks so good, especially once it dries out and takes on its best colors, like here. This is great! This is a place I need to explore. Who knows what stories you'd find there!
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Splendid capture of a splendid landscape as only your country can giving.God blesses you for 2013!
A master class in A level geography. If only Miss Henderson had been so succinct. All our illustrations were in mono, how much more beautiful it looks in colour!
Majestic formations & I also like that powder blue sky & the puffy clouds...
Ah, geology for all to see. A very inspiring photo of a fascinating land form.
The short version works well. Nice shot, looking forward to more!
more awesomeness. This landscape is amazing and so big to a little islander such as myself
Yes, this landscape is pretty amazing and the colors are breathtaking. A really stunning shot. Tara.
Beautiful shot of a wonderful land
Wonderful capture and very good descriptions happy New Year
Makes me think of a joke I saw recently: a kid taking a geology test, question "Name three types of rock". The answer: classic, punk and hard. I love the striations in these eroded hills. Sometimes it's quite easy to imagine it all being underwater. Beautiful capture!
Stunning! Quite amazing.. It's JUST like looking at a Clint Eastwood movie! lol Which is a GOOD thing, I can assure you.. (well it is to me! lol) Nice shot Tara! Rob
