A section of very, very old strata, across the whole of the Mesozoic era - Jurassic, Triassic, Cretaceous. Iron rich, as the colour suggests.

Torquay.Torquay is a township in Victoria, Australia, which faces Bass Strait, 21 km south of Geelong and is the gateway to the Great Ocean Road. It is bordered on the west by Spring Creek and its coastal features include Point Danger and Zeally Bay.
The different layers of Millstone Grit combining with the bark from the tree really caught my eye. Such a magical place this is to meander through the different coloured formations yet i couldn't help but think about the history these rocks colud tell. Little is known of its history prior to the compilation of the Doomsday Book in 1086, although it is supposed that some of the curious rocks found there were used for Druidical practices in the times of the Brigantes.

As the storm moved up Green River Valley the sun popped out from behind the clouds. The falling rain caught the light and created a ephemeral veil.

(Updating Flickr with daily photoblog posts from while I was in Beijing)
We’re back to the Elephant & Castle in South London for this image, which is where we’re both starting and ending this week’s posts.
The Strata Tower is visible from many places within London, and is most easily recognised by the three large fans that can be found on the top of the building, built to harness the wind and provide energy savings for the building itself.
It was a stupidly windy day when I was here, but my 3 Legged Thing tripod seemed to stand up to that admirably, even while doing a long exposure with a B&W filter.
No matter how strong the wind blew, however, those fans on the top did not move at all which leads me to question the overall usefulness of them.
Processing was a straightforward affair; I sharpened a little in CS6 and then ran it through one of the filters in B&W Effects 2 by Topaz Labs – simple.
I hope everyone has had a good week.

The last one (I think) of this set of Manorbier sunsets.
I hope you enjoyed them all.
Please support my photography by purchasing a print (or two!)
At a sunset walk/photoshoot on Easter Sunday, I zoomed in and realized that I really liked the abstract, straitified look of water, sand, water, island, sky. I took a few shots, this was the best of the lot. Keeping it rotated 90degrees emphasizes the optical illusion.
While I was taking photos of the louvres and lamp posts at the back of strata I got talking to a chap who was sitting having a cigarette. It turned out he lived in the building and kindly invited me into his flat. I was able to get some nice shots of the interior of the building as well as the view from the 18th floor.
It was a couple of years ago so I can't remember the guy's name with any certainty but I'd like to thank him for his hospitality. I will post some of the pictures over the next few days.
The sky is actually brilliant blue but I liked how this conversion turned out -- taken in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Kananaskis country -- taken by the way out the window of a moving car...

The area takes its name from This takes its name from the former Strata Marcella Abbey which was once located nearby.

A box made of layers, deep into the ground. The box and lid join together with rows of cheese slopes. And of course, there's at least one buried treasure :)

Strata and Columns. Red Rock Canyon State Park, California. October 30, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Red rock strata and vertical columns
For years I have passed by California's Red Rock Canyon State Park on my way to or from other places, most often Death Valley National Park. My winter route between the San Francisco Bay Area and Death Valley almost inevitably takes me south over Tehachapi Pass and then north, where the highway cuts through this state park. Every time I have passed through I have marveled at the beautiful rock formations rising from the desert and thought about stopping... but kept driving, anxious either to get to DEVA or to get home after a long time on the road.
This time we made a plan to stop, booking a motel in a nearby town for the night to more or less force a stop. We made a fairly brief visit, but we did go this time. This visit, although brief, may have finally cracked the door open a bit to the idea of returning and photographing here again. Being unfamiliar with the park I cannot be sure, but I would guess that this formation may be one of its "icons." It stands in an easily visited location and presents a striking appearance. It also seems to me to tell a bit of a story. One of the first things that got my attention is the way that its thick band of red rock tilts the opposite direction from the similar rock in the sculpted cliffs that stand behind it. It seems to me that this piece must have dropped off the face (probably with a big bang and lots of dust!), landed in the softer material at the base of the cliff, and momentarily leaned toward falling over to the right, but then managed to just keep its balance enough to be locked into this off-kilter tilted position.

Stratigraphy, erosion, and deposition in the Sheep Rock unit of the John Day Fossil Beds in central Oregon. The blue-green strata are Turtle Cove member ash and tuff while the brown rock is from an overlying lava flow.
This straight chute feeds Cavern Cascade after running a straight line through layers of rock and leaves. The flow of water over the centuries has carved this linear path through the rock creating the beauty we see today. The leaves just add a bright sugar coating to that beauty. via 500px ift.tt/2xEhxT6
