Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. OAK_120720_052.JPG: Canyon Walls Reveal Evidence from Past Landscapes: In a short drive from the Mogollon Rim down Oak Creek Canyon, one can find evidence of past worlds. Journey to ocean beaches, tidal flats, desert sand dunes, rivers and deltas. These ancient landscapes have been exposed by the carving of Oak Creek and more recent road cuts. Why do the rocks have dramatic shapes and spires? Exposure to faulting, water and freezing temperatures over time causes rock to weather into bizarre and interesting shapes. Harder rock erodes slowly, leaving sheer cliffs. Softer rock erodes more rapidly, forming slopes. Why are some rock formations red? Sand grains became covered with thin coatings of iron oxide as ground water filtered through the rocks before they were eroded. Why is the east side of the canyon lower than the west side? A fault line runs down the middle of Oak Creek Canyon. Movement along the fault has shifted the layers so that the east side of the canyon in as much as 1,000 feet lower than the west side. How old are these rocks? The sedimentary rocks in Oak Creek Canyon were deposited over a span of 45 million years, from the late Pennsylvanian through the Permian geologic periods. The most recent sedimentary rock you see here, the Kaibab Formation, is approximately 255 million years old and predates the dinosaurs.

Wikipedia Description: Oak Creek Canyon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oak Creek Canyon is a 12 mile (20 km) long river gorge located along the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona located between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. State Route 89A enters the canyon on its north end via a series of hairpin turns before traversing the bottom of the canyon for about 13 miles (20.8 kilometers) until the highway enters the town of Sedona. The Oak Creek Canyon-Sedona area is the second most popular tourist destination in Arizona, second only to the Grand Canyon.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
