Desert Tesselation - a photo on Flickriver

Desert Tesselation

            Geometrically fractured shapes of mudstone fit like jigsaw pieces into a hollow of the Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California. While I wandered around the dunes I kept thinking that I should climb up to the highest vantage at some point, but I kept getting distracted by the layers of stone that were cracked and exposed in the hollows and I never made it to the heights. My mind immediately conjured up Escher's drawings, and I thought the patterns were nicely emphasized by the monochrome in which he often worked.

Thanks for stopping by and for the comments!
