一座“摇滚”的山(A mountain of rock and roll)
位于美国亚利桑那州的塞多纳是一个独特的地方,自然、历史和精神在令人印象深刻的岩层场景中交织在一起。这些砂岩地层是Schnebly Hill地层的一部分,创建于数百万年前的二叠纪时期,当时沉积物堆积在一个古老的海洋中。随后的侵蚀塑造了壮观的景观,在日出和日落时强烈发光。其最著名的建筑包括威尔逊山、七个神圣的游泳池和大教堂的岩石,它们提供了标志性的景色。

Sedona, located in Arizona, USA, is a unique place where nature, history, and spirit are intertwined in impressive rock formations. These sandstone formations are part of the Schnebly Hill Formation, created millions of years ago during the Permian period when sediments accumulated in an ancient ocean. Subsequent erosion shaped the spectacular landscape, emitting strong light at sunrise and sunset. Its most famous buildings include Mount Wilson, seven sacred swimming pools, and the rocks of the cathedral, which provide iconic views.
