It's hard to tell what you are looking at here, no?  Well, it is a lake, or pool I should say, of some pretty wicked-looking water.  I wouldn't recommend drinking any of it.  But I thought it was colorful, so here it is to see.  That is somewhat of a road you see wrapping across the top of the image.
   This scene is at the bottom of an old open pit copper mine in Jerome, Arizona.  This copper deposit is different from all of the other copper lodes in Arizona -- both in age and in genesis.
     
   See the GeoHistory page if you want to know more about why the landscape looks the way it does, or return to the map of "Sedona and the Verde Valley" for more view locations.
