![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7684] 'Crooked pillars. Overhanging cliffs lean on crooked pillars. It looks like a group of crazy sculptors have been at work, slightly disturbed characters with a strange sense of humour (Paria Canyon).](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048549_oCDXV-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7684] 'Crooked pillars.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7679] 'Marbles of sandstone.' These marbles of sandstone on the plateau above the Paria Canyon are the same things as the blueberries found on Mars. They are a bit harder then the surrounding sandstone and were incorporated in the pinacle. While eroding, the marbles roll down. NASA came to Utah to study the phenomenon.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048550_GCgfh-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7679] 'Marbles of sandstone.'

'Buckskin Gulch.'
Many turns later, a gracefully bowed sail appears, woven of the most delicate satin. We let the ship from the underworld pass (Buckskin Gulch, sculpted by flash floods).](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048555_eP78V-Ti-1.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7743]
