The Loveliest Distance
"A curved line is the loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West
With the last remaining bits of direct sunset about to fade, my eye was caught by the wonder of the sandstone feature known as "Wave II", found in Coyote Buttes of the Vermilion Cliffs / Paria Canyon Wilderness. One of the attractions I have to the feature is how the shadowed lines of the various sandstone fin-ridges leading up to it are perfect in an imperfect way. Indeed the variance in the size and curve of each leading line produces far more loveliness than if they were uniform and leading straight to subject.
