Wilson#s Arch, Utah. This formation is known as Entrada Sandstone. Over time superficial cracks, joints
Wilson#s Arch, Utah. This formation is known as Entrada Sandstone. Over time superficial cracks, joints, and folds of these layers were saturated with water. Ice formed in the fissures, melted under extreme desert heat, and winds cleaned out the loose particles. A series of free-standing fins remained. Wind and water attacked these fins until, in some, cementing material gave way and chunks of rock tumbled out

Wilson's Arch - Nature's Masterpiece Carved in Sandstone
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the enchanting world of Wilson's Arch, Utah, where time and the elements have sculpted a breathtaking formation known as Entrada Sandstone. This print captures the essence of this geological wonder, inviting you to marvel at its intricate beauty. Over countless years, superficial cracks, joints, and folds within these layers were transformed by nature's artistry. Water seeped into these crevices, freezing during cold desert nights and melting under scorching heat. As winds swept through the arches' corridors with gentle force, loose particles were carried away like whispers in the breeze. What remained were majestic free-standing fins that stood defiantly against wind and water erosion. Mother Nature herself played her part as she relentlessly attacked these fins over time until some succumbed to gravity's pull. Chunks of rock tumbled out gracefully from their once secure positions. In this mesmerizing image captured by FLPA/David Hosking from FLPA Images (not the company), we witness a testament to nature's resilience and artistic prowess. The delicate balance between erosion and creation is showcased in every curve and contour of Wilson’s Arch. So let your imagination wander as you gaze upon this photograph – envision yourself traversing through ancient canyons or embarking on an adventure amidst towering sandstone pillars. Let Wilson’s Arch transport you to a realm where geology meets artistry in one harmonious dance!
