Die Karrenfelder bei Silberen sind hauptsächlich Bildungen im Schrattenkalk, die vor ca. 125 Millionen Jahren abgelagert wurden.
Es handelt sich dabei um einen hellgrauen, etwas spätigen oder oolithischen Kalk, der oft reich an Austern ist. Der Schrattenkalk bildet hohe hellgraue Steilwände und auf flacheren Abhängen wie auf Silbern, wilde Karrenfelder.
Kalkgesteine (Kalziumkarbonat, CaCO3) wie der Schrattenkalk sind undurchlässig aber löslich, falls sie in Kontakt mit Säuren treten. Wenn Kohlendioxid mit Regenwasser in Berührung kommt, bildet sich Kohlensäure, das die blossliegenden Kalkgesteine zerfrisst und auflöst. Das Kohlendioxid stammt dabei praktisch nur aus der Luft.
Schon an der Oberfläche der Gesteine erkennt man die ersten Symptome der Karstbildung. Das auf dem Karbonatgestein fliessende Regen- und Schneeschmelzwasser verursacht eine Auflösung, besonders entlang feiner Risse und Klüften, die zur Bildung von Karren- oder Schrattenfeldern mit Rinnen und scharfen Rippen führt. Durch die Risse des Gesteins sickert das Wasser in die Tiefe und löst den Kalk weiter auf. Es bilden sich zuerst untiefe Höhlen, die irgendwann einbrechen und konische Sickerlöcher, sogenannte Dolinen, bilden. Mit der Zeit entstehen durchgehende Höhlensysteme und der Wasserverlauf wird zunehmend unterirdisch.
Das grösste bekannte Höhlensystem Europas ist das Hölloch unterhalb der Karstsysteme von Silbern. Es sind bisher über 200 km erkundet worden.

EXPLORE #5. Thank you to all who've commented and fav'ed this image. Very much appreciated.
Monochrome really fits the mood right now. Even in color everything so gray right now. It's been a very strange January with less than an inch of snow and almost perpetual gray skies. We've have only received about 24 percent of are total possible sunshine this month. Five Exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 and converted to B&W using Nik Silver Efex Pro 2

A one acre garden created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994, now owned and cared for by the charity Perennial. The garden is divided into rooms by yew and beech hedges.
York Gate is widely recognized as an outstanding example of 20th century garden design. The one acre garden is divided into a series of smaller gardens with different themes and in contrasting styles. These include the Dell with half-hidden pathways and a stream, the famous herb garden with topiary and summerhouse, and a newer more contemporary garden with grasses and summer-flowering perennials. Other highlights include the White Garden with roses, peonies and campanulas and a Kitchen Garden. York Gate is also noted for its striking architectural features and a succession of exquisite vistas.
The garden was created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994. Frederick Spencer laid down the basic structure of the garden but it was his son, Robin, who was largely responsible for its development and for the exquisite detail to be found within it. Undoubtedly inspired by some of the outstanding gardens of the time, such as Lawrence Johnston's Hidcote, Robin created in just one acre, a garden which by the early eighties, was regarded by many as one of the most innovative small gardens in the world. His extraordinary vision, remarkable sense of perspective, inspirational use of materials and meticulous attention to detail were key to its success.
Robin died suddenly and prematurely at the age of only 47. For the next twelve years his mother, Sybil, cherished the garden. She added to the already considerable plant collection but the overall layout remained largely unchanged.
On Sybil Spencer's death in 1994 the garden passed into the care of the charity Perennial - Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society.
I had hoped to get out today with the camera, but as usual the weather didn't play ball. So decided on a some macro for a change.
Set-up was as follows:- Nikon D610 & Tamron 90mm Macro Lens mounted on my Tripod.
Nikon SB700 Flash mounted on the cameras Hot Shoe.
I took a sheet of A3 paper propped against a vase and meshed he forks together and balanced the egg between them.
The flash was bounced off of the ceiling and I pointed a small touch that created the reflections in the background between the camera and forks & egg.
The image was processed in ACR with some editing in Photoshop CS6 and the Black & White high-key effect was created in Nik Silver Efex.
Once more a b&w edit of an older shot - I also wanted to see here, how Lightroom´s automatic perspective-correction works in comparism to the one I did with gimp on the old one.
