Layered Ridges Beneath a Clear Sky

Rocky ridges and deeply cut valleys recede into pale haze, their warm, eroded surfaces contrasting with the uninterrupted blue sky.

Layered rocky ridges and deep valleys recede into pale haze beneath a clear blue sky.

Layers of rugged mountains rise above deep valleys beneath a clear blue sky. Warm brown rock faces reveal terraces, sharp ridges and shadowed folds, while pale haze softens the most distant peaks. The repeated contours lead the eye steadily into the frame, conveying the scale and isolation of an arid landscape shaped over immense spans of time.
