I'd guess it's different rates of erosion likely caused by varying levels of sediment. There are quite a lot of bizarre shapes that are similar in the SW desert of the US. It's also possible to see those layers of sediment in occasional hillsides. I might root around in some old pics for examples.

Personally, I think you got the best part - the sound. I love hearing them fly overhead. If only I had the camera handy when they flew over us. I did catch one shot, but they were way high. I missed the one where they almost skimmed the tree tops. I think they're done for now... maybe next spring? 🀞

How very spooky.... but it keeps him anonymous (good thing in this day!) I wondered how you managed that? πŸ€”πŸ˜‰

My doctor takes my BP at the beginning and then again at the end of the visit. It usually drops by about 20 on the systolic end.

Wonderful catch!!! What you have are the Cackling (Aleutian) Geese. (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cackli...) They are smaller than the Canada Geese and have a much more mellow honk. We hear them overhead going in both directions. Haven't caught any great audio like yours! Thanks! πŸ™πŸ’ž

Can't help but wonder if Super Glue was used. It looks like a wisp of breeze could knock it over.

That's Sam, the Husky daring to stand under it. From a long ago trip in the desert SW. Can't remember the exact location.
