Description

White Pocket Sunset by TL Wilson Photography

I was captivated by the lines and textures of the swirling, thin-layered strata, adjacent layers of contrasting color, and curious erosive features at White Pocket, Arizona. Sunset created a combination of light and shadows that was breathtaking to behold.

Dotted across this generally featureless region are numerous small outcrops of the underlying Navajo sandstone, eroded to form unusually varied shapes, generally colored white or red but mixed with layers of many other shades.

White Pocket is a group of domes and ridges covering an area of one square mile, below a larger mesa lined by similar rocks. A pocket, in this sense, refers to a relatively small area of land markedly different to its surroundings, which here, like most of the plateau, are sandy plains sparsely covered by bushes and small trees.
