Cliff layers

Second Valley South Australia

Very often we are told that most rock-forming geologic processes and layers are the results of extremely slow processes.
But there are a few places on earth where the evidence is very much to the contrary. One of these places is Second Valley, in South Australia.
The small pathway in the picture below goes from the pier around the corner of the cliff to the small gravel beach.
The pathway has been cut into a cliff composed layers of white and buff-coloured dolomitic limestone, gray to black slate, and quartz veins.

Marvelous and creative composition ; Beautiful focusing with excellent detail from the formation of the rock to the landing bridge. The clever composition had created a great dimensional and dynamic range within the frame.
Perfect metering and EV. A superb shot, Barbara ! BV x 10
