  1. One of two pans of Horseshoe Bend, a lovely incised meander near Page, Arizona (just southeast of Glen Canyon Dam). Erosion by the Colorado River cut down through the layers of sedimentary rock and created the deep gorge (approx. 1000 feet deep here). The river meander, though, formed by the same processes that for...

  2. Originally intended to be about twice as wide, my Gigapan Beta unit contracted the deadly Whirling Dervish/Spiral of Death disease upon completing column number 38. (Fear not, it's fixed now - a relatively low tech solution, I simply "unwound" the robot. Aaahh, the joys of Beta testing!) Nonetheless, the resulting...

  3. Rock City is a local park near Minneapolis, Kansas where dozens of meter-scale concretions of Dakota Sandstone have remained resistant to weathering. Berti and Edi (the rock gnomes) had a field day! See if you can find and snapshot them in all of their hiding places.

  4. This is an outcrop of Upper Cretaceous deepwater deposits of the Juniper Ridge Conglomerate, near Coalinga, California. See this paper for more details: Hickson, T.A., Lowe, D.R., (2002) Facies architecture of a submarine fan channel–levee complex: the Juniper Ridge Conglomerate, Coalinga, California. Sedimentology, ...

  5. Conglomerates and sandstones of the Eocene Carmelo Formation were deposited by sediment gravity flows, in relatively deep water, in a submarine canyon probably comparable to the present-day Monterey Canyon. Updated / edited version of an older panorama.

  7. What a perfect evening for Gigapanning! Good light (no clouds), no wind, and a beautiful view (for Kansas). I think I managed to miss shooting any of the boats on the lake, but if you look at the water you can see the wake of one of them as it approaches the camera - it gives you a sense of the time it takes for the ...

  8. Outcrop of the late-Ordovician-aged Martinsburg Formation (turbidites/flysch) shed off the Taconian Orogen to the east into the adjacent deep marine basin. The strata were later tilted and cleaved during Alleghanian mountain-building.
