Nature’s Tiles

P1000438
This picture was taken on 01/20/2011 on a daytrip to the Lovell Wash along Lake Mead’s North Shore Road. Veering off to the right, off the rough dirt road that winds through Lovell Wash, about a mile and a half into the wash as it heads toward the Anniversary Mine, are a series of rises and hills that make for easy climbing. Very near the top of the highest hill I found a river of stone that appeared to have once been a layer of mud, turned stone, that then at some point was broken like a smashed pane of glass, leaving thousands of shards looking like small pieces of Italian mosaic tiles. The photo below provides some context to this shot.
