Sandstone Detail

Posted by on Sep 22, 2011 in Desert, Monochrome, Photography | 7 comments

Striated sandstone dives into the rock floor below it. The dips and swirls are from flash floods carving out hollows. Taken in a slot canyon similar to this one.

    @Marcie, Thanks! I went for the black and white treatment for exactly that reason – I wanted to bring out the texture of the rock.
