There's a large sandstone hill in the northern part of South Coyote Buttes in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument that has fantastic brain-like erosion patterns. In this image, most of the sandstone is tan, but there are parts with pink and reddish orange. By using the ultra-wide-angle 17mm tilt-shift lens, I was able to emphasize the erosion pattern in the foreground.
