Description
"Hoodoos" was photographed at the Paint Mines Interpretive Park near Calhan, Colorado. The Paint Mines are named for their colorful clays that were collected by American Indians to make paint. Brightly colored bands, caused by oxidized iron compounds, are found in varying amounts throughout the many different layers of clay. When the outcrops erode, a hard capstone allows columns of clay to be preserved beneath them, creating fantastic spires called hoodoos. Selenite (gypsum) contributes to the color, and white quartzitic crystals dazzle the eye.

I see the hint of a trail, there, and feel my feet itching to climb up to those rocks. l/f/tw
