Description

Inspired by Choronr, and help and advice from Wholehog. Here's some info, for those that don't know... What is a hoodoo? Every kid who ever traipsed the badlands of Alberta near Drumheller and saw hoodoos has remembered these spooky spikes. Hoodoos are oddly-shaped pedestals of earth or pillars of rock that develop through erosion by wind and water, especially in areas where the sedimentary layers alternate between soft and hard material, for example in horizontal strata of shale and sandstone. Typically a column of stone is created when a hard shale cap-rock on top protects softer underlying sandstone from erosion. Thanks for your recent support and comments... always deeply appreciated.

There are a number of places on Earth where nature has carved these strange shapes; and, Rob, you've captured them well. Not only are the landforms done beautifully, but also the sky, lighting and surfaces blend the elements into a striking picture.
