These are a few photographs of the Fountain formation in RSP from yesterday afternoon. The formation is sandstone that was tilted to about 60 degrees and gradually exposed as the rock around it eroded over the last 300 million years.
Nikon D500, 28-300mm f3.5-5.6, 1/400 to 1/250, f8.0, @ ISO 100.

These are impressive formations and you have captured them nicely. I almost get dizzy looking at them.

Roborough State Park in western Douglas County, Colorado. It's an amazing place.

. That's what the geologists tell us. And they get their red color from iron oxide.
It's similar to the color of the formations in Garden Of The Gods a bit further south in El Paso County.
