Interesting Sandstone


I was in a narrow side canyon over at Little Creek.  I noticed that there was a lot of this beautiful sandstone.  Sandstone is, by nature, layered, but often the layers are similarly colored.  In this case, the thin layers alternated between reddish-brown and white.  The alternating layers were interesting enough, but in some cases they were also swirled into circular patterns.  The rock in the picture was so beautiful that I wanted to take it home.  Unfortunately it weighed two or three hundred pounds.  So I left it.
