Sandstone forms part of the sedimentary rock sector. It is
composed of sand sized minerals as well as grain rock. As you
can see on this picture the colour differs from reddish brown to
orange brown. Since the sandstone beds often form a high visible
cliff certain colours can be identified within certain regions.
They seem fragile and very easily eroded but this is not the
case. They can even store water as they are porous. Certain
types of sandstone are resistant to weathering and others are
easy enough to be worked with. It’s a wonderful view that we are
offered by nature. The mixture of these colours gives us the
warmth sensation. The heat keeps the temperature high. Whereas
if you dig up a little hole in the sandstone you will realise
that the temperature within the sand is much cooler than thus of
its surroundings. A very different emotion comes up. The scenery
is beautiful and it can appreciated by many if you only take a
minute to admire it. |
