Water wins in the end - or you would see no Grand Canyon.
Only if you accept the idea of an "end"; the eroded rock materials carried away from their sources by moving water, eventually becomes sediment … and eventually rock … somewhere else on earth … albeit a process taking eons.
The Grand Canyon, et al, is layers of sediment (among other rock forms); it's cyclical.
Yep, water wins in the end. All the plains states were formed when the "proto-Rockies" were eroded... The current Rockies were a part of the general sediments, pushed way up in the air, turned as a block, and stayed there. You can see how these layers were once stacked up, then upended, to form this jagged edge of the Grand Tetons:
Thanks for the rocks, A. Mac! Everything around us is a geologic moment, frozen in time... You can often see the results of the most recent event...
A New Image … just published today.

Rock(s) with me, my friends … first two in a new series.
The statement with the second shot is so VERY correct. I love to listen to the voice of the flow - is there anything else more soothing?
I agree, Buzz! I love to hear water moving.. It's a comforting roar, peaceful and serene..
Such beautiful pictures and colors!

Beautiful Mac, there is nothing more soothing than a steam as it runs over and round the rocks.
More tomorrow …
Good night to good friends and to all who are not yet good friends.
To those with whom I disagree almost always … PEACE to you and your families … it's not personal, I just tend to be intense.
