Amateur photographer, Pacific NW scenes, some birds and other critters, nature, bits of travel; camera handy, wherever, whenever. Catching moments with my lens.

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.

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? π€
