Hoodoo amongst sandstone pillars. A hoodoo (centre) is a erosional feature that formed as the result of differential erosion of unconsolidated sediments. The pillar is capped by a piece of rock that protects it from erosion. The unprotected material is eroded by occasional heavy rains,gradually forming a spire.
