Description
MONUMENT ROCKS BY PAMELA WILLIAMS
"A rock cuts through river, not because of its power but it's persistence"
The Chalk Pyramids and Monument Rocks are names for the same group of rock outcroppings, near US-83 in western Kansas. There are signs at the turn off (6 miles of gravel roads). You can see the rocks in the distance from the highway if you know where to look.
Like the Castle Rock Badlands, the Monument Rocks are on private range land, but thanks to the owners, open to the public. The United States Department of the Interior has designated the Chalk Pyramids as a National Natural Landmark.
The 70 feet tall sedimentary formations of Niobrara Chalk were created 80 million years ago when this area was part of a vast inland sea.
Capturing moments in time is a passion, Sharing those moments with others is a pure joy! Thank you for joining Pamela's photographic journey and remember to share the adventure with your friends and family........your kindness will be forever appreciated! #sharepamsart

Very unusual and intriguing. I love the multi-layered look here: the strata of the monuments and then the layers of foreground, distant terrain, and sky in the background. Beautiful tones, too.
