Not a true canyon: Bryce Canyon (USA) - maximum card that I created with an FDOI (First Day Of Issue) postmark
In the above MC, notice (click on it to enlarge) below the round cancel the group of horse riders (or mule riders?) on the trail.
This is a very interesting and weird landscape.
Not VOODOO, but HOODOO.
"Bryce Canyon National Park (pronounced /ˈbraɪs/) is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon which, despite its name, is not actually a canyon but a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by wind, water and ice erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular vistas for park visitors."
"Bryce Canyon was not formed from erosion initiated from a central stream, meaning it technically is not a canyon. Instead headward erosion has excavated large amphitheater-shaped features in the Cenozoic-aged rocks of the Paunsagunt Plateau.[5] This erosion exposed delicate and colorful pinnacles called hoodoos that are up to 200 feet (61 m) high. "
Another brick in the wall?
No, another hole in the wall, rather.
Here's another impressive view from there: Thor's Hammer.

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
