Neat.
The first shot looks like piles of wood.

You are right. It does. I never thought of that.

Looking at the last picture, the next slide is going to be very big and damaging.

That it is! I would not want to be standing anywhere near there.

Mike, you are too generous! I posted them because I thought the subject was different. What I found really interesting was the variation in color of the sedimentary layers of rocks; a chronology of plant and animal life of the region over the last 10,000 years.That whole area was once part of Lake Agassiz, a huge lake, larger than all of the great lakes combined.
Anyway, I'm glad that you liked the photo. The negatives that I scanned, had, unfortunately, deteriorated over the years and it was difficult reworking the scans to duplicate the colors of the originals. I am still not that good at post processing.

I notice on my phone that the sky is pink in the 4th photo. An image that will definitely need some work.

Nice photos. Are there any fossils to be found in those sedimentary rock layers?

Thanks, Chief! Yes, although I don't recall seeing any at the time (it was years ago), fossils of cephalopods and snails are quite common. I used to see these when as a young man I went swimming in a limestone quarry near the town of Tyndall, Manitoba. The same rocks are exposed there.
