’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. Photo Paul Smit.

’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. Photo Paul Smit.

’Taking a nap in The Wave.’

	The hiker who enters "The Wave" in the Coyote Buttes nature reserve (part of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) may find himself surrounded by a dream-like sandstone landscape. The fine layers of the stone are composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. Photo Mick Palarczyk.

'Schloss and Park Sanssouci, Potsdam.'

Stairs climbing terraced vineyard garden towards the baroque Sanssouci palace, french for free of worries. This garden is the heart of the much larger, 290 ha Sanssouci Park, that itself is just the centerpiece of a whole chain of parks, gardens and palaces. Friedrich der Große (Frederick the Great) and generations of Prussian kings after him had these parks constructed along the banks of the Havel, a river that widens into an idyllic lake every few kilometers. The park landscape starts at Werder and reaches, via Potsdam, deep into Berlin. In the past the Glienicker Bridge, famous for its exchange of spies, divided this area. Since the German unification you can enjoy it as a whole and it has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. Photo Paul Smit.
