vacation pictures #5: south coyote buttes

[ilanarama]

I...I'm going to have to punt, here. Because the South Coyote Buttes are so mind-blowingly magnificent - the colors, the shapes, the sheer abstract artistry - that I really don't have anything to say. I've uploaded thirty pictures to my Flickr site, and you can find them all here. Or do the slideshow thing. There's a sliver of moon over a butte, there's a weird tower with a window in it, there are stripes, there are squiggles, there's a couple pictures of me. Um, yeah. Ogg say: sandstone nifty, make pretty pictures.

Beauty!

I'm always stuned and amazed by the way the rocks
in the southwest look/are.

So different from the geology I grew up with here in California,
where its just greyish "rounded" granite.

Utah has more geology than anywhere on the planet, I think!

I wish we had more! :-)

Although I kind of like these green things too,
that cover up much of ours.
