Santa Rita Copper Mine and Geological Shapes, Winter Sojourn 2014-15

DECEMBER 2014

Our day trip from Deming continues. We left Silver City, traveling east on 152.  Next stop, the Santa Rita Copper Mine (viewing area). There is a nice area to pull off your vehicle and there are a number of signs explaining the history and the mine.

As always, for me, it is the wonder of the color and shapes:





This formation is called the Kneeling Nun.  (Sony and I tried, but, this was pretty hard to get in focus from our vantage point.)


We continued our ride east till we hit 61, where we turned south.  Yes, it is all about the shapes.  




Well, what have we here?  Plenty of shapes.  I'll show you lots more of this wonder next time here at Reflections.  (Sound like a commercial, don't I?)
