Sandstone Gauntlet

Sandstone Gauntlet landscape photo by Dan Bourque

Otherworldly angles and striations form a narrow gauntlet within a slot canyon in northern Arizona.

Details: Eroded sandstone is one of the most amazing materials from which natural sculptures are carved, and slot canyons are absolutely full of formations of all kinds. The erosion cuts through many layers, each laid down with its striations at a  little different angle, a phenomenon very noticeable in this scene. The narrow bit of sand, about two feet wide here, is the passage through the canyon. Simply incredible to experience these wonders!
