Geological Formations: Images of Rock & Earth & Wind & Water & Time

The forces of nature make such pretty pictures for us. Most of our National Parks are designated at sites of definitive geology: mountains, canyons, caves, volcanos, hot springs, geysers. Sometimes, as in places like Bryce Canyon, capturing a great photograph is merely a matter of pointing the camera, anywhere.
