Jaap van 't Veen's photos with the keyword: Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon is not really a canyon, but a series of strange, naturally formed amphitheatres, carved into the edge of a high plateau. Its walls consist of sixty different layers of sand, limestone and slate. In the amphitheatres there are countless very irregular shaped rock formations in all kinds of shades, varying from white, pastel pink, fiery orange and red to dark red. These spires of rocks (called hoodoos) are caused by erosion.
