Rock layers galore

Finely-layerd sedimentary rock near the mouth of the Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand. This surface was scraped off by the glacier, which is currently retreating rapidly, but it looks like the scraping took place a good while ago, followed by wind and water erosion. The image is perhaps 3 feet from bottom to top on this slope.
