The Gentle Touches

"The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Photographed in "The Wave" of Coyote Buttes North, in the Vermilion Cliffs / Paria Canyon wilderness of Northern Arizona. With the gentle touches of liberal allowances of time, air, and water, the sandstone layers, colors, striations, and textures of this land have produced some of the most amazing and awe-inspiring visions of Nature's art that no artist could ever match.
