If you are a landscape photographer, then you well know how important geology is to finding photographic opportunities. Just look at the San Juan Mountains near Pagosa Springs, Chimney Rock, or the red rock canyons and arches of Utah.
Baxter’s presentation will provide an overview of the geologic history of Colorado and localities where the evidence of this history is visible in the rocks. The talk will begin with the screening of a 25 minute video by the Interactive Geology Project. The video will then be followed by an explanation of key geologic processes and additional evidence of geologic history in the Four Corners region. The talk is designed to provoke discussion with the audience and questions are welcomed throughout.
