Dawn Blush - a photo on Flickriver

Dawn Blush

            On a clear morning the early warm light begins to illuminate the sky above the Henry Mountains and the Blue Hills.  The latter are often compared to a lunar or Martian landscape.  The eroded Mancos shale (capped by Ferron sandstone) that makes up the Blue Hills doesn’t support much vegetation, laying bare the easily eroded Cretaceous age deposits of siltstones.  If you’ve ever tried to drive through soil eroded from Mancos shale when it is wet you know something about how it turns into a goopy, tire eating mess.  The Henrys rise to 11,600’ (3500 m), around 6000’ (1800 m) above the viewpoint where this shot was taken (~ 5000’/ 1500 m).
