Colour here belongs to the ground itself. Mineral layers in Hormuz Rainbow Valley tint the soil and slopes red, yellow, white, violet and green, while changing daylight adjusts the balance between them. Look both at nearby textures and at the way coloured bands connect across the wider landscape. That movement between detail and scale is the reward of the visit. The materials are part of a delicate geological setting, so taking a handful of soil or a stone removes something from the scene. Leave them where they are and let observation be the souvenir.
