I've seen this intimately-associated hoodoo pair referred to as "kissing dragons" - and I can kind of see it, though "nose-booping dragons" is more on the mark. I'm more intrigued by the shape of the space between them. (?) #windowsonwednesday #eck #hoodoos #lybrook #badlands #newmexico #wilderness

A pair of stout, bulky hoodoos dominates the image, with the sky above (and between) lacking any clouds. Is that Scandinavia I see in the gap? Or maybe an elongated version of the Indian subcontinent? Canon 5Dll, f/5.6, 45mm

Light and shadow add depth to this view of pinnacles, stone and sand along the edge of a deep canyon. Gray clouds define the horizon. A prominent juniper tree anchors the bottom center. In the distance a flat-topped mesa can be seen.

High contrast image showing slabs of smooth rock in a dry wash, with scrub brush here and there. The wash is bordered by strangely formed clay hills, one with a disk-shaped stone tilted precariously on its edge. Broken ground extends to the horizon, and the sky is featureless and gray. Ominous shadows cover a good percentage of the landscape.

At the top of the Upper Cascade Falls trail, which starts at the Amphitheater campground outside of Ouray. Hikers get a fine view of the falls itself, and the toolshed for the old Chief Ouray mine across the way. Photos from 2007 #waterfallwednesday #hiking #colorado #mountains #waterfall #sanjuans

Waterfall coursing down steep rocky terrain into a splash pool behind a boulder. A pair of fallen tree trunks slash across the view. A bright green bush anchors the bottom right of the photo, while verdant fir trees cling miraculously to the cliffs at upper left.

A tin shack stands on the edge of a steep cliff, with more cliffs towering above. Stately aspens angle toward the dropoff in the right foreground, while branches of a pine emerge from the left.

A disk-shaped rock formation has been used by ancient builders as the locus for a ruined watchtower above, and possibly a granary below in the shade of the overhanging rock. Conifers and scrub brush dot the rocky terrain, while the blue sky above shares the frame with a puffy white cloud.

Striking, colorful erosional features centered on a group of flowstone mounds that almost appear to be melting. At bottom is a small dry wash and a bare shrub, while above and beyond we see taller badlands hills with green trees below and blue sky above.

The roiling underside of a cloud bank is colorfully lit by the setting sun, with shades of rosy red and darker blue colors beneath. Several birds, tiny in the distance, can be seen flying obliquely away from the viewer. A single bare tree pokes about the bottom right margin of the image.

Scattered iron-colored boulders appear as a ridgeline on the horizon, with fragments on the slope below. Canon 6D, f/11, 45mm

Under a roiling sky of gray clouds stands an improbable and vaguely menacing rock formation with a range of spikes and protrusions that seem entirely unnatural. Scattered large rocks pepper the ground at its base, and other formations can be seen in the middle distance.
