Swirled pink, red, and white sandstone bands at The Wave

A photo story

The Wave

Swirled pink, red, and white sandstone at The Wave, in February 2025. I took this close in, so the frame is almost all those curved bands of rock. It was a clear afternoon, around 59, with a light breeze.

The Wave is a sandstone formation in Arizona, known for these crossing lines and scooped shapes. A few days earlier I had been in Sedona, about a five hour drive south.
