Looks like erosion is setting in a bit. Nice looking day.

Interesting photo! I do not think that the erosion is from a glacier; usually a glacier leaves a "U" shape valley, and the striations will cross the strata. From a singla photo, it is difficult to reach a defenitive conclusion.

Hey! You got a picture of my back yard! LOL! No, not really! Although it might have looked something like that 80 years ago! Wonderful capture, Richard! Clear focus, wonderful lighting and splendidly framed! What more could you ask for?

I don't think it's from a glacier, but it's cool to look at.

I think marcPoser is correct - it's more likely from wind and/or water. Looks like a small creek bed to the left, so flash floods combined with wind over the centuries are probably the cause.

Great shot of this scenic and interesting landscape.

I agree with those who believe the striations are caused by wind and water...nice capture though...

The "striations" are very likely differential weathering of the surfaces of sedimentary rock layers that are inclined downward to the upper left of the photo. This looks like arid country where wind and water probably contribute to the weathering. Nice collection of flora. Looks like sage in the foreground. This photo evokes my memory of the pervasive smell of it in places I've traveled. Thanks for the image and the memory.
