Red Canyon

I went for a drive on the beach with this guy in a HUGE 4x4. While we were driving the guy, Terry pulled over and guided us through the bushes to a huge rift between the sand.

"This," he said, "is Red Canyon." And continued to explain how there's some ore in the sand that was compressed by the glaciers in the last ice age. Now it's bleaching out of the sane because of erosion. This canyon was carved out by a long-dead river.

I thought the colours were really cool. Such beautiful contrast!

That looks so enticing right next to the ocean.

I think that red escarpment was stolen from New Brunswick!
