"Candy Cane Hill"
First of all, yes this is a real place and yes, it does look like this. Millions of years ago red sandstone and white limestone were swept by water and wind into layers and then solidified under the weight of an inland sea. The cycle continues as it is exposed again by winds and water into this fanciful wave like creation. About 5 minutes after the sun had set this feature appeared to glow from all of the reflected light of the surrounding rock formations. Today it looks like this. After many tomorrows it will slowly "melt" exposing even more of it's treasures.
