    This overhang is breathtakingly beautiful. Although quite dissimilar, it reminds me of Mesa Verdi.

    Am not completely sure, but sandstone is all coral isn't it? And if so, those colors must reveal the type of coral that was laid down. I think this is an amazing shot and I apologize for not getting here yesterday. And thanks for your many visits to my blog.

    Abraham - no sandstone isn't coral (maybe you are thinking of limestone?). It is sedimentary, grains laid down under the sea over millions of years.

    Oh, that is beautiful, and the honeycomb is really special... rock formations with striations have always held a certain attraction for me. Although I've never been there, I've always admired pictures of the slot canyons in the Southwest US. That's also sandstone.

    Agent Sally. Your mission is to go and photograph the Blue Pole by Jackson Pollock for the Sydney Daily Photo.

    This tape will self destruct in 20 seconds.

    I love these ones Sally. These caves carved by waves have always attracted me since I was a child.
