eroded

Goblin Valley, Utah

the well eroded formations here are intriguing, and often suggest anthropomorphic or animal figures...in the case of this one the various strata are typical too, some of entrada sandstone, with more clay-like layers in between

fascinating shape, agree with Nora, it looks like a tank. V

Fascinating! For some reason it reminds me of an army tank with it's gun raised toward the sky. V

Nature sometimes is really fascinating...! Great capture of this interesting shape with its long nose. V

I'm seeing a turtle sunbathing on a rock with his head stretched out. Pretty neat! V

These formations are like Rorschach Tests of stone meets surrealistic sculpture. A fine shot David. "V"

That is a uniquely eroded form. It looks like a turtle balanced on top(to me)
