Water Map
As the layers of topographic map detail elevation changes, this formation in Capital Reef details the story of an ancient ocean, the sand and silt buried upon itself until it compressed. Lifted once more into the world, under harsh heat, summer monsoons and winds that stir the sands and cloak the rock in a state of constant friction, the sandstone scales and falls off in formations that mark the weaker boundaries of it original formations. Cast in light, the shadows, gradients of colors and forms appear not unlike those it once held.
