Description
This black and white photograph features a canyon wall that has erosive rills and indentations. Several hills or outcroppings have been formed and roll away from the photographer. A hill is close to the photographer and has a steep decline on the bottom right corner of the photograph. Grass and bushes cover the hill. The tallest hills are covered in more dense shrubbery and rocks. A cave is seen in the canyon wall at the bottom left corner of the photograph. The steeper canyon walls are stratified and contain horizontal rings of a darker color. The skyline is seen at the top of the photograph. The sky is bright compared to the rock formations. Numbers are written below the photograph.
