Monuments





Humans seem to have a common drive to erect monuments to various events and people. Guess what? Most of those monument pale before the natural monuments already existing out there in the world. Nature creates its own monuments but doesn't leave much of an explanation why. There are few places in the world that hold more fascination to me than the clay hills of the Colorado Plateau. I find the endless shapes and textures so attractive, I could wander around in them for hours or days or even weeks, discovering new vistas and seeing unusual shapes. There are some hazards however, the clay gets really sticky and can be a trap if it is wet.
