I found these rock layers in a exposed cliff face on the beach at Waratah Bay to the East of Melbourne.
The amount of time that it must have taken for these rock layers to form and then be twisted by the power of the Earth is just unimaginable. Such considerations of deep time do tend to put the damage we have done to the world in perspective - such a short time, and so much damage.
On the other hand, it does show that there are still wonders to be found!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture.You have managed to capture the texture as well as the stunning colours of the rock.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. And you remind us that we can all too easily destroy in a few short years what has taken millions to create.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of history in that one macro ~ Carol (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layers of color!
ReplyDeleteI really, really love the colours and designs in this photograph. I see by the comments here that I am not alone. There are more lovers of the colour blue than I realized.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were more people like you who have an appreciation for the wonders of nature and are aware of and concerned about how man has been so distructive ... out of greed. Your picture is beautiful and full of wonder. Thank you Stewart ...
