About this piece

Three isolated buttes stand across a broad desert plain, framed by sweeping sandstone ridges in the foreground. Strong sunlight reveals fine striations in the near rock and deep vertical shadows on the distant formations. Saturated orange earth and an expansive blue sky give the composition both intensity and stillness.

The story

September light rests sharply on the sandstone, drawing each ridge and seam into view. The foreground rock curves like a slow wave, while three distant buttes hold their separate positions across the plain. Small patches of vegetation stipple the open ground without softening its vastness. The eye travels between stone and sky, finding little to interrupt the distance.
