I've been fascinated by the strata in these rocks on the Roaches since I first saw them some years ago, and I have so far failed to find any geological account of them. Very neat, precise diagonal bands between narrow horizontals – it looks as though the earth's surface here tilted backwards and forwards on a regular basis here.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

Beautifully tactile images Moira, you should visit the far North of Scotland or the east coast of Skye, the land has slipped or been pushed to some seemingly impossible angles.

Good on you Jon, I've hunted a fair bit but haven't found anything on these rocks specifically. Diagonal strata - fine, no problem; but it's the regular horizontal bands that fascinate me.
Thanks everyone, and wishing you a sunny weekend.

Quote: V3 is particularly wonderful with the heather peeping through.
Joline, I have a set of b&w conversions and they will go up some time in reverse order to this upload - V3 first.
Thanks everyone,
Moira
It's amazing how these rocks form. Makes great patterned abstract images...think V3's my fave with that patch of heather bottom right
