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

January 21st, 2010 at 12:29 pmI’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.
