Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
I was at Bryce Canyon before sunrise to catch the first light, to me it's the best time to be there. As the Sun rises over the amphitheater the Hoodoos appear to glow from inside, a breathtaking view!!!
A Hoodoo is a tall, spindly structure that forms within sedimentary rock and protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos form over millions of years of erosion in areas where a thick layer of soft rock is covered by a thin layer of hard rock. Over time, hoodoos form as a small cap of the hard layer protects a cone of softer rock underneath from erosion.
Hoodoos can be a squat 5 feet tall or soar to 150 feet. Depending on the minerals found within the different rock types, hoodoos often have lively color patterns.The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are found in the park's horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
