Sparse but healthy-looking grass clumps grow in the bottom of a dry wash. At its far side the smooth sand surface undercuts a vertical mass of reddish mudstone, heavily weathered and extending upward beyond the top of the photo.

A striking flowstone feature in shades of pink and red rises toward the sky. Its topmost features are sharp and ragged, with a hoodoo topping off the pinnacle at right center. Yet-higher cliffs are hinted at in the far right distance.

Stark black and white image of a central pillar-like rock formation atop a weathered mudstone pedestal. At right is a flat-topped, wing-like rock perched on a broad column of stratified mudstone. There's a hint of cloud in the sky at left.

A highly textured dry mud flat stretches away into the distance from bottom to top, where a low range of hills appears at right. Above the horizon, white wispy clouds mottle the otherwise blue sky.

Atop an eroding mound of layered mudstone sit two hoodoos capped by flat-topped slabs of ironstone. Between them rises a pinnacle of light-toned mudstone without a cap.

Early light caresses the flowing mudstone forms of a series of low hills in a desert lowland. Surrounding terrain is in shadow. The gray of the sky above is featureless.

Close-up image of a deeply eroded mudstone hill in stark black and white. The structure runs from the bottom of the image, angling upward to the top right, where a darker-hued, differently textured rock layer forms a peak. At middle left we see another mudstone hill farther away. The sky is grey and devoid of clouds.

A dark-toned, pitted rock sits at lower right in this black and white minimalist image, with angled textures of sand and mudstone flowing from top left to lower right above it. A few smaller pebbles of the ironstone-tinted rock also appear across the surface of the image.

An intimate look at a rock face, showing layers of sediments stacked and crossing each other, with dished-out gaps and crevices here and there. Below the rock face are soft sediments and mudstone forming flow-like structures.

At the top of a steep rocky slope stands a towering hoodoo-like figure, limned in direct sunlight. behind and in the distance above, much higher on the slope, sits a blocky, castle-like sandstone edifice. The sky above is featureless blue.

This is an intimate portrait of the transition zone between flat sandy terrain and a sloping mound of mudstone that is slowly and inevitably overtaking the lighter-colored desert floor. The darker-tinted mudstone is cracked and ridged, having been cut by rivulets when it rains.

A detailed study of a canyon wall composed of seemingly disjointed rock features. Near the center is a cavern-like hollow and to its right are small mudstone stalagmites. The rocks are tilted and jumbled.

Rounded mudstone or sandstone, beach-polished, with multiple layers in colors of green, white, red, orange, and brown. Rock is nestled in greenery
beach-tumbled mud or sandstone, not sure which, only know that it’s a stunner 🧡
