A photograph of the Ochre Pits in Australia, featuring a detailed view of a layered cliff face. The rock is a tapestry of vibrant, naturally occurring ochre, with prominent bands of yellow, deep orange, and earthy red. Vertical streaks of color run down the face, suggesting the 'leaching' process mentioned in the title. The top of the formation is capped with a few small trees and dry grasses, all set against a clear, brilliant blue sky. The afternoon light sharply defines the rich textures and colors of the mineral deposits.
