  Hi Denise, hard to believe but this is a actual film image from the trusty old Minolta X-700.

  Thanks Eliza, yes it is amazing to think the land was all removed and only the butte remains. Geology sure can tell a story.

    I think that is why I find geology so fascinating, particularly out West. History laid bare for all to see.

      Yes and it is a weak spot in my natural history knowledge bank. Need to learn more or perhaps learn to look more and take the time to listen to what the landscape is saying. Hope your day is going well and you are enduring the unseasonably warm weather in your neck of the woods.

        Yes, ‘enduring’ it quite well. Even the ice has melted off most of the paths, making my walk today worry-free. Love it!
        I’m told snow is expected over the weekend.
