’The Wave-1.’
Locally called 'The Wave’, this geological wonder in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes. The local geological formation is called Navajo Sandstone and is composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. However the undulating surface seen here is not so old but is the result of more recent erosion of the sandstone.

’Hiker in The Wave-3.’
The hiker who enters "The Wave" in the Coyote Buttes nature reserve (part of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) may think he is stepping into a sticky red fluid with white stripes, something like sour cream stirred into pumpkin soup. But this geological wonder actually consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes.

’Coyote Buttes nature reserve-2.’
The strange landscape of Coyote Buttes nature reserve (in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) is made up by a 200 million years old geological formation called Navajo Sandstone. It is composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. Minerals of iron oxide, deposited by groundwater after the accumulation of the sand, have created red, orange and yellow colours. The light dome-like structures on the right are locally called "Brains Rocks".

'Restaurant Rote Saal, Orangery, Schlosspark Neustrelitz.'
The palace of Neustrelitz was destroyed during the last days of the Second World War. But the park, partly baroque, partly English in style, has remained intact. Just like the Orangerie, with roof paintings resembling those of Pompei and copies of antique statues. The best spot to experience the neoclassicist atmosphere is the Rote Saal while you are dining...
