I actually found your last image the most interesting. There is a lot of detail throughout the frame, and I was wondering about the change in hue of the rocks at the lower left-hand corner. It appears to be geological.

Thanks for the feedback. There are many exposed layers of geological history in this area due to the ice age flooding.

Just a few miles away there is a petrified forest.

The walls on some of the cliffs have petroglyphs. You'll also find a pygmy short-horned lizard study area nearby.

All in all, it's a very interesting area to explore if you happen to be driving through it on I-90.
