P.E. Island : Rock formation . . .
This image is included in a gallery "Colour" curated by stephen cole.
This interesting rock formation was taken in the Cavendish Cliffs area, just off the Terre Rouge Lane, not far from the Green Gables. It was a fine autumnal afteroon. The beauty of the striking red soil cliffs against the deep blue colour of the Southwest Basin water was simply too hard to do justice in photography.
Prince Edward Island is an island province of Canada. While it is the smallest province in terms of land area and population, it is the most densely populated. The island has several nicknames: "Garden of the Gulf", "Birthplace of Confederation" and "Cradle of Confederation". Its capital and largest city is Charlottetown. It is one of the three Maritime provinces and one of the four Atlantic provinces.
The geography of Prince Edward Island is mostly pastoral with red soil, white sand, and scattered communities. Known as the "Garden of the Gulf", the island is located in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence north of Nova Scotia and east of New Brunswick, with which it forms the Northumberland Strait.
The coastline of the island consists of a combination of long beaches, dunes, red sandstone cliffs, saltwater marshes and numerous bays and harbours. The beaches, dunes and sandstone cliffs consist of sedimentary rock and other material with a high iron concentration which oxidizes upon exposure to the air.
