When traveling the length of the National Park, you encounter these beautiful multicolored mounds, remnants of ancient marine clay deposits. Each layer represents millions of years of sedimentation in a long disappeared inland sea. Pentax K1 + DFA 28-105 mm @ 105 mm FL and f/14.

Beautiful scene Richard. The clouds really give it a dramatic effect.

Thank you for your kind words. Clouds really stand out and give a 3D appearance to this picture. Arizona is such a beautiful State with a surprise at every turn.

Regards

Fine imagery, I'm reminded of the sand layer art, you used to get when I was young... a good few years ago now.

Great image - the cloud layers beautifully complement the earth layers. Very pleasing viewing.
