E Y E S of the Lizard [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
<i>E Y E S of the Lizard</i>
If you're walking through the desert south of Camp Verde, AZ, you might
stumble upon this formation that resembles the head of a lizard.

What? The only thing I had to drink that day was water, and the only drug
I took was an aspirin from looking into the sun too long!!!

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain

Cheers.

This lizard's eye does resemble a classic (limestone) karst feature

Yes, there's a small "slot canyon" and
evidence that an ancient stream ran through this area. As the water "kissed" these bodies
of limestone, a chemical reaction resulted in
breaking down the rocks INTO these amazing and bizarre shapes.

As soon as the American dollar makes a rebound, I would like very much to visit the
Karst regions of central Europe.

OK, bearing in mind lava or sandstone occasionally produce similar holes and caverns.

Plus you don't sound very optimistic :-(

watched the new James Bond movie???
