The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It flows to low places loathed by all men,
reducing mountains to sand.
Therefore, it is like the Tao.
Ans so I stand up next to a mountain,
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make a castle
Might even raise a little sand
And then castles made of sand fall in the sea
Dragon's Back pressure ridge along the San Andreas is pretty cool, especially if you understand what's up.

"I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader" -thank you Leslie N and orig thread.
Maybe the poor guy felt insecure in his rotundity (rotundness?) in the presence of the Moab Member Entrada Goblins.

Not really. Once you understand the major concepts it is pretty much the same world wide.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your first picture is limestone, your second picture is grainite. Different stone, different geochemistry... but still producing erosional features consistent with the climate of the intermountain west.
damn, that screwdriver hit HARD.

As the PreSocratics might have said: "Everything is erosion".
