Hoodoos
In various parts of the desert Southwest, hoodoos dot the landscape.
hoodoo: Geology. a pillar of rock, usually of fantastic shape, left by erosion.
These hoodoos of red Navajos sandstone are locatedin Bryce Canyon National Park.
The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are formed when fins erode further so that individual columns remain standing.
You can see the fin above, a narrow ridge of white sandstone, from which the lone hoodoo separated. The fin below is easier to make out.
Another fin with adjacent hoodoos. All these photos are sized so that they will enlarge if you click them.
These hoodoos are brought to you by the letter H.

I had never heard of a hoodoo either, but have been to Bryce Canyon, years ago and it is a truly beautiful place. Always great to learn something new! Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos!!
Really neat photos! I had forgotten all about them.
I love hoodoos! That part of the country has always fascinated me - just can't get enough of it. Your photos are superb!
Fascinating and really wonderful pictures of the unusual hoodoos. Thanks for sharing.
What beautiful photos! Somehow Hoodoo seems like the entirely appropriate name for these spooky shapes. Thank you, too, for the geology lesson. And for those blue skies!

Fantastic photos and scenery. Now I learn the word "hoodoo".
I'm another person that had never heard of hoodoos before - now I want to see one for real. Great photos.
You do Hoodoo, Hoodoo ? You do... etc.
Actually I had never heard the term in this context. Live and learn - thanks, Katney.
OMG the Bryce Canyon !!! What a souvenir ! I remember I couldn't close my mouth when I looked at it ! I never had seen such a beautiful place. I prefer it to the Gran Canyon and Glen Canyon.
Those are some amazing rock formations... the photos are incredible. We have a few of them here in our area and thought, gosh, I should've put those up. But mine are nothing as good as yours!!
I fine series of hoodoo shots. They are such a spectacular work of nature. You captured them with fine, natural looking color. Nice job of shooting.
Fantastic was just the right word. I have heard of that kind of phenomenon, but never of the word - thank you for teaching me something new!
Wonderful shots! Deja vu, too :-)
Love that they are called that .. as in WHO DO that?
I LOVED Bryce Canyon! It's absolutely stunning .. so, so beautiful! And with that blazing blue sky, such a wonderful contrast with the red rocks.
Beautiful photos. I have some of my own similar to that!
Mother nature can really create - nothing we do can top that! Beautiful!
These are amazing.....Mother Nature is pretty impressive.
This is great! The hodoos are wonderful.

These are great photos! I love that name.
who knew hoodoo was a word? :-)
very interesting post!!
Wonderful photos Katney! Very educational, too.
I took a camping vacation and rode a horse through the hoodoos. The structures were beautiful, but I was distracted because the trail was so steep. I invite you to come see my backcountry take on four. - Margy
