Pyramids of Volcanic Ash @ Blue Buttes, Petrified Forrest National Monument, Chinle Arizona,

The Chinle Alignment Fault, tearing the earth in various directions leaves pyramid shapes of crumbling landscape destined to be monoliths in the next millennium.

The colorful layers of earth are encrusted in crystallized volcanic ash almost an inch deep, preserving the formations colorful rings from the elements.
