Banded Chinle footprints - a photo on Flickriver

Banded Chinle footprints

            Photographed at sundown, these remarkable layers of bentonite clay at what I call the "Porter Chinle" site in Arizona display two dozen horizontal color bands, which can be seen changing widths over a large area. 

This was my second expedition to this location. With me was my buddy Dave Weber. Both of us hurried to fly over the colorful mounds as the sunlight was fading fast.

I had found these particular mounds on my previous trip, but the low sunlight this time enhanced the colors in the bands resulting in a work of geological art.
