In the comments for my post from the last night Mushroom of Timna park - the power of a single image @daveks wrote me :
"I bet the black and white version looks pretty good too!"
SAID - DONE !!!
Actually, I decided to leave the colors of this amazingly special super HOT and empty like moon place due to the real help of these colors to express and to explain how crazy this landscape is. 40C plus temperature, emptiness, and silence. Nothing is moving to grab your attention only the strange rocks - the other civilization creatures (i hope so).
So, here are the original images posted for #colourblackandwhite - the color and the BW plus some closeups of the wonderful fragments explaining how crazy this place is :

The deserts are interesting places. This rock is a fascinating object to photograph.

It's interesting, that sounds and looks very much like the southwestern US. Or at least southern Utah. Is that some sort of sandstone?

As always, lovely shots.

thank you friend.
as i found in WIKI :
"...red sandstone rock formation is known as a hoodoo. The mushroom shape was caused by wind, humidity, and water erosion over centuries.[16] The Mushroom is surrounded by copper ore smelting sites from between the 14th and 12th centuries BCE."

No wonder that looked familiar, southern Utah has a bunch of red sandstone too, although it eroded into arches more so than hoodoos.

There were some old Native American petroglyphs nearby but nothing like copper smelting sites. Was there anything of those left?

Yeah, plus yours has those weird holes or whatever they are. We have hoodoos, but they don't look like that.

Those are in New Mexico and mostly pumice and tuff rather than sandstone.


(edit) That first photo is Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, that whole place is amazing.

I understand why you went with colour in the first post. It does make a lot of sense. Here we have the whole spectrum! If you could add the #colourblackandwhite that would be awesome. Thanks for posting!
