World Nomads Create Scholarships Photography 2019 Applications Perspective Time And Mass Perspective: Time and Mass by Thaddee Valdelievre (USA) United States of America Shares Facebook Twitter Starting off in Bryce Canyon, we peer through a window gazing at Hoodoos, structures formed by the cycling of melting and freezing water break rocks over roughly 25 million years and thought to be people turned to stone as punishment by the Paiute Native Americans. Under the moonlight we see what time, wind and rain has been able to do to Earth’s landscape over roughly 60 million years in the making. With the Milk Way in the background, one can only imagine what the stars we see today were doing when this arch was just beginning to form. Balanced Rock, also at Arches National Park provides us with another sense of scale and size. At nearly 40meters in height, the morning sun lights up the bright stone which has been slowly worn down and carved. At Dead Horse State Park, wild horses being wrangled were abandoned at the top of the plateau. While they were able to see the water below, none could find their way down and all died, about 130 years ago. Mining activity still leaves a scar on the landscape. While we've seen what time has done to the Earth's landscape over millions of years, in so little time humans have had a big impact. It started off slowly: European settlers lived in homes such as this just as little as 100 years ago.
