Painted indeed. To answer Jocko's question, the redbeds are colored with iron (ferric) oxide (think rust), while the whiter layers are probably thin, well-weathered limestones, or limey siltstones (notice how they top or defend many of the small ridges). If this was closer to Utah, my guess would be the strata are part of the Moenkopi Group (Triassic age).

It's all there by mother nature jocko that's all you need to think about as it's been there and some changes appear now and then from dryness and salt(Or so my friends that live there talk about) however who told them lol::??? lovely capture I hope you framing some of these they are worth it !!
