I love the lines, textures and colors of sandstone. I find that when I'm in the desert I get so caught up in the details that I forget to look at the bigger picture, the very opposite of what happens to me in the mountains. I'm rather intuitive (not well linked into reality

) and so this image speaks to me of the many divisions in our world. It is interesting to see these two colors of sandstone sharply divided from each other. Then there appears to be a second rift between the top and the bottom which crosses the color boundary. Finally, there is a deep crack which runs from top to bottom which equally affects both groups. It reminds me of the way we isolate ourselves into groups of "us" and "them" unaware of the bigger problems that affect us all. Ok enough of that. Back to reality.

17 commentsI like this. It is very simple and graphic and the interpretation is spot on. The bigger picture - its all sandstone...
I sure like the two different layers of sandstone, and especially the fractured and offset horizontal and vertical lines. You did a fine job in seeing this composition out there in the vast sea of sandstone.
