shutterspeedI took a walk along a gorge and a waterfall last weekend, and it was just gorgeous! And also full of interesting water-cut rocks; a lot of the landscape around here is shale, which is layered and fractures along layers and faults to make really neat lines and patterns. Here's a shot of some rough water and the lines in the rock:
I always think that the stone looks so neat and tidy, like layercake or a stack of papers or something.
More layercake in the same part of the gorge:
And some more, looking totally like steps:
Somewhat creepier rock patterns:
Somewhat brighter rock patterns, showing off the different kinds of shale layers:
This shot is through the waterfall in the shot above, and it's a little too bright but I liked the different kinds of rock patterns across the stream:
This shot is from inside a tunnel past the waterfall at the end of the tunnel; the rock patterns in the lower part of the picture are part of a man-made wall, and in the upper the patterns are the shale breaking more-or-less "naturally":
