What I saw today: Tafoni

Kinda creepy looking “lace” erosion in sandstone, near the bottom of a famous outcrop. The larger holes are roughly fist-sized, the smallest “threads” are about a centimeter wide but stand away from the background much more than a cm. 

Looking up to the overhanging rocks -- look at those “cannonballs” apparently suspended from the parent rock above them. The holes are much larger, in general, than the lace Tafoni at the base in the other view. 

About 1.2 mile / 2km walk from the nearest road; nice safe trail.
