Contorted Layers
Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Arizona
March 2025

White Pocket, tucked within Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona, is a hidden gem of swirling sandstone, otherworldly rock formations, and vibrant colors. Its landscape—a mesmerizing blend of white, red, and orange sandstone—has been sculpted into domes, ridges, and brain-like textures over time. Adventurers are drawn to its alien beauty, where each turn reveals a new geological marvel. Its remote isolation enhances the mystique.

Prints and products are available through this site or my Pixels - Fine Art America site. See more of my White Pocket photography here.
