Section 1: The Geology of Monument Valley

Monument Valley, with its iconic towering rock formations and vast desert landscapes, is a geological wonderland that has been shaped by millions of years of natural processes. The sandstone buttes, mesas, and spires that define the landscape of Monument Valley were formed through the gradual erosion of ancient rock layers, sculpted by wind and water over eons. Each rock formation tells a story of the Earth's history, with layers of sedimentary rock revealing clues about the past environments and geological events that have shaped this region.

As you gaze upon Jarvie's photographs of Monument Valley, take a moment to appreciate the intricate patterns and textures of the rock formations. Notice how the sunlight plays upon the surfaces, casting shadows and highlighting the unique features of each rock formation. Through Jarvie's lens, you can witness the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, color and texture, in a mesmerizing display of natural beauty.
