Alluvial Fan Spreading From Canyon At Blue Hour in from a ridge above layered foothills near Riyadh

Alluvial Fan Spreading From Canyon At Blue Hour

by Rhonda Holloway

Deep indigo sky stretches above a sweeping alluvial fan that fans out from a narrow mountain canyon mouth. The sediment layers create textured ridges of beige and ochre, catching the last cool light before night fully takes hold. Distant city lights from Riyadh glow in a soft amber haze along the horizon, against the darkening rock formations. The foreground reveals rough gravel and dry washes leading up to the fan's apex. Shadows lengthen across the uneven terrain, showing the geological scale. A faint reflection of the town's glow shimmers on a smooth patch of compacted clay near the base of the fan.
