I also really like this picture because of it's texture and color, what sets this picture apart from the hundreds/ thousands of images of the Coyote Buttes and Vermilion Cliffs is that the exposed sedimentary rock strata are straight instead of being bent and curved by geologic forces in all the rest of the images. When sedimentary rocks break down they release a lot of nutrients this bushes roots will speed that break down, it would be interesting to check this spot in a year and see how much this bush grows and how many other competing plants are growing in this spot.
