A canyon wall on South Mountain presents a fractal collage of rocks, cacti, and patterns.  A very slight curve shows in the "stretch" lines or trends (known as fabric) visible running across the photo.  The age rock here has been domed up severely, resulting in what is called  "".
   In the distance in the upper left is Camelback Mountain, and behind it are the McDowell Mountains.   The view looks to the northeast.  Eastern Phoenix is in the foreground valley, and Scottsdale sits mostly behind Camelback Mountain.
