Sometimes I look at layered rock formations and imagine stories within the layers.
This formation at Fort Rock looks like the giant prow of a ship bursting through the cliffs.
A closer look shows where the water levels were before the ship drained the basin.
This jumbled formation at Malheur NWR looks like it was made by a giant who was in a hurry.
But a closer look reveals the perfect spot for great horned owls to raise their young and protect the land.
This Painted Hills formation looks like an immense shark swimming through the hills causing a commotion.
A closer look shows some of the magical green stones left in its wake.
There are stories within the layers that you can learn if you just pause to look and listen.

Fabulous examples. How in heaven’s name did you ever spot those owls ?!?!
Thanks.! I was on a birding trip and the guides knew exactly where to look. 😁🦉
Love your post! I love the stories in the rocks, and sometimes it's hard to get some people to see and appreciate them. Your stories are great examples.
Thanks! You are one who knows they are there.
