I’m intrigued by this image beacause of the beautiful alluvial fan formed when water carried debris from the mountian to the valley below. But, erosion doesn’t stop. You can see the channels cut by further runoff over the fan.
On a recent trip. We flew over the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Basin and Range area of Nevada. The sun was rising, and it provided some interesting views from the plane.
One scene was Mono Lake. I have posted scenes of Mono Lake and its magnificent tufa on many occasions. The flight path on this trip provided a stunning view of the lake and the mountains surrounding it.
I enjoy studying geomorphology, i.e. how the earth was sculpted by natural forces. Two of the images tell a story about land formation through the erosion and deposition that sculpted the beautiful landscape.
By the way, these images were taken with my iPhone 8 through the window of the commercial passenger plane.
