Hercules Gap

A spectacular water gap/slot canyon north of Ely, Nevada. I suspect it's antecedent--that is, as the ridge rose under the stream it kept cutting down.

This shows the power of water, a herculanean effort to cut such a deep gap:-)

A lovely landscape image. Geology really is fascinating, so much detective work required to piece the background together.

And the thing is, so much is commonsense textural relations--e.g., what cuts what, what's lying on what, etc.--the sort of things that forensic studies do. It's easier to teach than mathematical physics! ;)

Thanks, everyone! I'd been this way years ago but hadn't gotten any pix at all.
