Texture

This is a small section of the White Rock area of Snow Canyon in St. George. From a distance the rocks look grey and uninviting, but as you get closer the color starts to pop. This section was taken in the full shadow with about two hours of daylight left. I love all the different textures of the rocks. I like the lines of erosion that come straight down the mountain. I like the different colors that are present in the rocks. I also like the cross sections of layers of rock. While we were there we told that these layers are from an ancient sand dune that was compressed into the rocks. These rocks are now being turned back into sand by mother nature. My biggest regret of this trip was to take my back up camera and a kit lens. I wish I would have had one of my pro lenses or my macro 105 mm for this shot.
The specs:
iso 100
66mm
f/22
1/6 second hand held.
Thanks for visiting today.
