Unusual photo–your choice of camera angle and the subtle lighting emphasize the layers and textures. Geology is fascinating, and your photo translates science into art. Very nice potd……….thanks for sharing.

I wonder what magnitude of geological timescale are we witnessing over here. What drama of natural history is burried in those layers.

I’ve been wondering how long it would be before a photo of the Painted Hills showed up here on Earthshots. Well done, and I agree that the camera angle emphasizes the textures in the hills.
Makes me miss that area of the world.
