I took this as a snapshot out of the window of a moving express train travelling (I think!) from Interlaken to Berne (I didn't take notes on this trip). The map location is therefore somewhat arbitrary!
The 90˚ bend in the folded strata is indicative of some very considerable pressures being exerted on the rock layers. The multiple, relatively-fine layers might suggest sedimentary rocks but I can't confirm that.
I know there are even more spectacular examples in Switzerland but this was the best that I saw.
The wild lilies dried up very quickly in this hot, dry summer. But before they faded completely, many of them seemed to fold in upon themselves in a sort of protective posture.

This reminds me of a neatly folded napkin at a very posh restaurant.
Much more fun viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Folded Wings was taken with the new sigma 70/300...there is a little learning still to be done by this student ....the macro button is a little tight but it s new ....

In winter Black-capped Chickadees eat about half seeds, berries, and other plant matter, and half animal food (insects, spiders, suet, and sometimes fat and bits of meat from frozen carcasses). In spring, summer, and fall, insects, spiders, and other animal food make up 80-90 percent of their diet. At feeders they take mostly sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, peanut butter, and mealworms. They peck a hole in the shell, and then chip out and eat tiny bits of seed while expanding the hole.

I'd thought about folds a few times today, however taking a photo while doing yoga, or while doing my "stretch & folds" for my sourdough were both impractical.
Taking a photo of a paper aeroplane was equally hard - when it was in flight!
But, here it is, a little battered after a few trips round the kitchen.
So on a Macro Mondays posting recently someone mentioned that they didn’t have a ruler and hoped their picture was within the 3” parameters. And I got to thinking about teaching my elementary kids about measuring —- you always have a ruler with you….
For most people the distance between the first and second knuckle on your forefinger (pointer) is about an inch - even on adults. Go ahead try it… For those of you using metric measurements it’s about 2.4cms…..
So now you can measure macro items with more confidence!…… (By the way, another equivalency - the distance between your bent wrist and your crooked elbow is about the size of your foot. There are others.)
And if you’ve stuck with me for this science/math lesson— wish me a happy birthday 🎂- yes, it really and truly is my birthday!!
Heading up to Burnt Edge from the Woodland Trust carpark at Walker Fold, Bolton, as the sun was rising above the clouds. I thought I was too late for a sunrise shot, but maybe not 😀

Visiting a manufacturer of frame parts...my friend was just behind me coming through these curtains casting an eerie shadow..........just the kind of thing that catches my eye.

Waterpocket Fold (long red feature, center) is the primary geological feature of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Here is the uplift as seen from Utah Highway 12. Moonrise was authentic with the photo.
The Henry Mountains in the distance are named for Joseph Henry (1797-1878), American scientist and inventor.
