Hiking the great outdoors, Mother Nature provides us with endless opportunities of visual sensations. On this particular outing I was amazed by the multi-colored layering of the sediments along the fringes of a very large arroyo in the Desert Southwest. In geology this stratum results from the erosion of rock from higher elevations and is placed in multicolored bands of fine grained soil. Individual bands vary in thickness, from a few millimeters to several hundred feet or more. Each layer represents a specific mode of deposition, as evident by the various colors, grain size and angle or tilt.

I am a New Mexico based Adventure Riding/Rafting/SCUBA Outdoor Digital Photographer, always on the qui vive for what Nature and humans provide. Capturing an image in my camera is but the first step in an artistic process. That initial bit of information then can pass through countless permutations before being declared complete. The journey from capture to completion is a lawless territory.
