In the second photo, it looks like one could walk up to one of them and just push them over......
Just amazing what erosion can do. I am used to water erosion around here - I am assuming these are created more by wind erosion?
When I took these photos the wind was blowing pretty good and you can see some dirt and tree movement in the photos, but was so happy we had a very clear day.
Not only wind, but rain, from what I understand, sandstone is very porous and collects water. When it freezes and then thaws it breaks down the weaker materials and erodes away from the main formation. We have a couple of geology enthusiasts on the forum, hopefully they will view and correct or add to this. Hope this helps a bit. thanks for looking and commenting, always appreciated. Bob
