Layered sandstone, close
Sedona · 20 March 2025

Close enough to read the individual bands in the rock.
Sedona's red comes from hematite, an iron oxide coating the sand grains of what geologists call the Schnebly Hill Formation - laid down as dunes and tidal flats roughly 275 million years ago and iron-stained long after the fact by groundwater passing through. It is, in effect, rust, and the whole landscape is the colour of an old nail.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
