Devils Garden, Arches National Park (No. 3)

The Devils Garden Trail meanders between sheer walls of sandstone fins. The fins were created when vertical cracks in a thick layer of sandstone were eroded and widened by water—either scoured by runoff from rainfall and snow melt, or pried and exfoliated by ice expansion. These stone formations may only last a few thousand years—a short time on the geologic time scale. The events that led to the arches, fins, and other rock shapes began about 300 million years ago, when seas periodically covered the area. The seas became trapped in low-lying areas and then evaporated, leaving salt beds up to 5,000 ft (1,524 m) thick in some places. Sand, silt and clay subsequently accumulated on top of the salt deposits over millions of years. The uneven weight and pressure of these overlying sediments squeezed the salt into an anticline (a domed ridge). Overlying horizontal rock layers bulged upward and cracked vertically allowing rainwater to trickle down and dissolve the salt away.

As the salt receded, the overlying rock burden sank with it. Salt Valley, located to the immediate southwest, is an example of the resulting landform. At the edges of the valley, where Devils Garden is located, the cracked rock was slightly pulled apart. Rain and snow soaked into the vertical cracks, which dissolved the cementing minerals and loosened grains of sand to be carried away by running water. As the cracks widened, tall fins were left standing. Weak zones in fins were either dissolved by naturally occurring acids in rainwater or wedged apart by freezing and thawing water, and openings developed into the various arches seen presently.

Seeing Amazing Sights in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the west while taking in views across eroded formations present at Devils Garden in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. My thinking in composing this image was to capture a look across some of these nearby formations. I also wanted to balance the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image with the clouds and blues skies. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

With the end of TOH not only capping off Disney's "loose Trilogy" with Gravity Falls, & Amphibia, it pretty much marks the end of this Golden Age of Original Children's Cartoons with Heavy syndicated storylines that started back with Adventure Time. While I don't discredit show that aren't syndicated stories or even the "brand cartoons" Like Star Wars, Transformers, or TMNT there was something magical about seeing people come up with original tales from stuff they were big fans & grew up on to create a whole era that made it cool for adults to have these theories, Excellent fanart, & to be something more then what we were used to in our youths.

I can only hope I'm wrong & one day we'll see another TOH or Steven Universe or Kipo, or Centaurworld, or Adventure Time, or Regular Show, or etc. But with recent events it leaves me less enthused. But I'll still cherish that the 2010's to the early 2020's was this marvelous & revolutionary age for TV animation.

How many death threats do you think I'd get if I wrote a queer book where the Devil falls in love with Adam from the Garden of Eden when something causes him to Fall from Heaven? And they both have to unlearn their religious trauma? And I retcon the existence of god because I think that's a more interesting take on the concepts of heaven and hell?

#from the desk of anachron #like adam resents him for the garden and lucifer did do that intentionally but regrets the consequences of acting in anger that way #but he also hates that Adam looks down on him for being the Devil #he knows he was prideful in his youth and he knows he didn't really get it #but eons of interaction with human souls will do wonders to make you realize some stuff about yourself #anyway fixing millenia of religious trauma by enjoying sin in moderation to prove good and evil don't actually exist #except as moral judgements we place on ourselves and others

Devils Garden, Arches National Park (No. 2)

In the early 1920s, an immigrant prospector from Hungary named Alexander Ringhoffer came across the Klondike Bluffs, a similar area with fins and arches to the west of Salt Valley, which he named Devil's Garden. Ringhoffer contacted officials at the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad to determine whether the land could become a tourist attraction. The railroad company realized the lucrative potential of the area and contacted the National Park Service to consider making it a national monument. President Herbert Hoover signed an executive order on April 12, 1929 that created Arches National Monument. The monument originally consisted of two parts: the Windows and Devils Garden, with the latter name being taken from Ringhoffer's name for the Klondike Bluffs, an area not initially included in the park. Arches remained a national monument until 1971 when Congress passed a bill that re-designated it as a national park.

The Devils Garden trailhead and campground are located 18 mi (29 km) from the park's entrance station at the end of the main park road. The trail through the Devils Garden, including the primitive loop section and spurs, has a total length of 7.2 mi (11.6 km). The primary trail to Landscape Arch is a graded gravel path, while the primitive loop trail, which begins and ends at Landscape Arch, is more challenging with steep, sloping surfaces and close proximity to drop-offs. Landscape Arch, with the longest span of any natural arch in North America, is reached after a 0.8 mi (1.3 km) outbound hike, while Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch can be seen on short spur trails located along the trail to Landscape Arch. Several other arches, including Partition, Navajo, Double O, and Private Arch, as well as the Dark Angel monolith and Fin Canyon, are accessed via the primitive loop trail and its spurs. Wall Arch, before its collapse in 2008, was also located in Devils Garden just north of Landscape Arch.

Silence is the Way Some Feel Grief (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Silence is the Way Some Feel Grief An empty quietness that seems so hard to fill Distractions can help to fill in that void It seems for a time, mainly Then I look at these wonders Ages and eons have passed They stoically watch as time moves by Winds and floods have they have witnessed They stand and my troubles seem to naught Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument while walking the Devils Garden. The setting is looking to the west across a grassy field to eroded sandstone formations present in this part of the national monument and Utah. My thinking in composing this image was to have a balanced, leveled-on view looking to the horizon. From a high ground perch that I was standing on, I would be able to angle my Nikon SLR camera to create a sweeping view across the grassy field leading up to the formations. I decided to keep them a little off centered as I felt the cliffs off in the distance added a balance the image. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
