Catching a Wave

While we were playing around up in Northern Arizona, we decided to go visit the Wave so I could try to refresh memory and get some lovely photographs for some attempts at color matching for future dye work.

Behold, the Wave - a magnificent example of saturated desert colors in fascinating sandstone that looks an awful lot like a petrified wave! Photographers can spend hours and days at this location, the rock changes color with the light, and is even more entrancing when water is pooled inside the formation.

A little bit of additional exploration brings you to the 2nd wave - a fascinating feature made from cross bedded sandstone - I hear the color on this feature is heightened at sunset, though I can't confirm it as we weren't able to wait around to find out...other adventures beckoned and we needed to start heading back towards the car...

Thanks so much for the inspiring photography! It has been so dull and grey here in Chicago - that took my breath away...
