This post’s featured photo was taken from essentially the same vantage point as yesterday’s; both “clock time” and my feet had advanced barely at all.
However, turning my/my camera’s gaze in a different direction (looking northwest rather than southwest, I think) offered a very different view.
You are looking at many different minerals; in some cases, they comprise rocky hills/mountains.
Others are present as “grains of sand”…grains which have different densities, and which – to a considerable and visible extent – have been “sorted” by the wind.
The pink streaks are probably garnets.
Even more colourful was the surface of/on the rock that was then literally right at my feet, a few minutes before 10 am on 14 November 2022…as you will see in this series’ next chapter.
