Story of the Stone!

"There are families of stones Under the ground. As the young stones grow, They rise slowly like moons. When they reach the surface, They are old and holy; And when they break open, They give off a rich odor. Each blooming once in the light, After centuries of waiting." Richard Shelton (1982) This is the eastern wall of Lovell Canyon, showing its 'stratafied crossbedding' and natural orange hues. Muddy Mountains Wilderness Area, Nevada (3-31-08) (Please click on the picture to get a glimpse of this remarkable landscape!)
