Description
The Arikaree Breaks are located on the extreme northern edge of Cheyenne County, in the northwestern corner of the state of Kansas. The breaks, with its deep ravines and gullies, is in marked contrast to the plains generally associated with the area. The breaks were formed by wind deposited sand, silt and clay particles, called loess. After deposition, the loess has undergone spectacular processes of head cutting and side wall cutting the advancing tributaries of the Arikaree River and the South Fork of the Republican River.
This photograph was taken about 4 mioles from Nebraska and 10 miles from Colorado on September 11, 2011 with a Canon PowerShot IX20 IS set with the lens apature at F/4, shutter speed 1/400 second and ISO-80.
