Intriguing rock formations are a a big contributor to the treat that is the natural landscape here in northeastern Arizona. Some are the remains of giant waves of molten rock that long ago pushed themselves up from under the ground in spectacular displays of violence and energy. Thousands and millions and gazillions of years later a tortured sculpture is still standing.

Interestingly, these formations exude a sense of peace; lightning rods that seem to draw all the trouble and turmoil of modern life to themselves and pull it far into the earth, leaving the surface land large and wide and at rest.
