Hoodoo

Hoodoo
Fisher Towers, Utah, USA. Near Moab. Balanced rocks like this have been used to infer the level of paleoseismic activity. It doesn't take much of an earthquake to knock 'em down! This sort of study was pioneered by Jim Brune, professor emeritus at the University of Nevada, Reno seismo lab.

Stunning formation! "...doesn't take much of an earthquake to knock 'em down!" Or that criminal boy scout leader!

Thanks, everyone! At least that bozo who knocked the hoodoo in Goblin Valley down got probation and a big fine.

Well personally I would have dropped that bozo in a lime pit.
