Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah (2007).

A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They typically form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations.^{[citation needed]}

They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers^{[clarification needed]} from the ground upward.

Hoodoos range in size from that of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.

Once again... Well. You know how it starts but you never know how it ends. But the end is not the goal. The way has begun. She's Italian... Pretty clever, interresting, beautiful, funny, hot and everything, you know. It's warm and simple, sweet and full of hopes. She's close but far. I don't care. I feel full and complete. I have work to do. It was quite a surprise to find love so close from where I was. Just under my eyes. I didn't expect it. Sometimes, it just hits your face, take your heart higher in a blow of elements. She could discover me. Destiny, protect me...

I trust, I have faith. I might be wrong. But maybe not. Who knows...
