Description
I find geology fascinating - especially when you can see strata that you would expect to be horizontal has taken on another "position" clearly through some major upheaval of the earths crust... Here is one such example...ΒRelated content

WOW! It looks otherworldly, making it even more interesting to know that it's from right here.

Teresa said "I bet you cannot get a good shot of that with that light"... and I said "probably not, but I'll give it a go"....

Do you guys have the TV show "Lost" where you are? One of the best recurring lines throughout the first couple of seasons was, "Don't tell me what I can't do!"

Not that I am aware of - but I am not a TV fan anyway...
I use a similar line with my coaching clients...
I also bite back what people tell me "you know what you should do...."

Indeed...So interesting to see how can a sea would effect the land with it's strong touch. Beautiful dear Bro

So much of "nature" on show here... Plates from ancient volcanic eruptions... displacements from earthquakes and teutonic plate heave (a big one offshore Portugal), sea and wind erosion - all playing their part to provide such an interesting result... True "boat breakers"...

It is a very rugged look what you can see the strata like this... it is interesting to be sure, and a most stunning capture. I love this shot! Well done!

I like it very much Mel ... it conveys the feeling of being on-site

Definitely "on site" and getting a little damp from the sea spray

Thanks Vin!! Yes, it does look crystalline - I suspect hot basalt once hit cold water

I think you're right Mal!

yes some powerful force was at work here, it almost looks like a giant piled up sheets of granite side by side then pushed them over like a giant game of domino'sΒ haha
awesome capture Mel Β

An interesting idea.. but these strata are normally laid down horizontally (volcanic lava flow) and then earthquakes or further volcanic activity buckles the "land" and pushes (heaves) them upwards.... Although I have not seen such dramatic "heave" very often..

You're very welcome,Mel.

Like the Dorset coast.
I saw it described as a multi layered sponge cake that had been tipped over

And will get much wilder with the winter storms.... there was sea spray in the air that day

I may try, but camera will need protection - its pretty exposed there - and I have to drive over a causeway to get to this area....
