We were just in Yellowstone Park and the banding in your Chinle piece is similar to the mini terraced deposits at Grand Prismatic Spring. Very beautiful.
It's good to stay connected to our sense of the natural world. Those of us with a geologic bent understand that the unsettling times we are currently in are a tiny, tiny blip in the history of this planet we share. That doesn't make it easier, but it does give me some solace when I pause long enough to regain this perspective.

Thanks! Yes, in my head, I switch fairly often into "geologic time mode" where this century is barely even a blip. :)
