Hi markus. Intersting notes explaining what the rocks are about. As for the shot you have captured the shapes and colours so well. We know this is not man made because its to natural. We have a area near to where i live like this on the coast.
Well done TFS.
Nick..

Have a nice weekend

Hello Markus,
An interesting geological image showing flysch strata that looks like the kind of shale we have in the South of Sweden.
This is a clear and interesting image that looks as though the rock is freshly exposed, maybe in a quarry.
TFS this interesting image,
Regards, Ivan

Hello Markus,
Excellent close-up of this very beautiful and interesting natural pattern. Very sharp details and beautiful colours. A fine composition too. I've never heard of Flysch and read your note with interest. It would be interesting to see a view of the area where you found this.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Markus, what a great abstract shot of this unusual rock formation.
I love all the geometric shapes and bold colours.
Superb composition.
Great DOF.

Once again you amaze me with your ability to find a great photo of something many people wouldn't look at twice. :-)

All the best!

Joe

Lieber Markus,
Sehr interessantes Posting,sowohl von der Aufnahme her, als auch vom Begleittext. Mein Sohn hat vor ein Paar Monaten in Geographie den Begriff Flysch gesehen, er war mir damals unbekannt. Du hast diese verschiedenen Sedimentschichten sehr schön diagonal fotografiert, mit bester Schärfe . Auch gefallen mir die natürlichen Farbtöne sehr. Hier kommt auch deine Liebe zu allem Mineralischen zum Ausdruck.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich Dir
Anne

hello markus,
nice capture, the layers formations of a rock van create beautiful abstracts, ihave seen this recenly during my visit to a rocky river side. nice natural colors, well composed shot,

This kind of image will get a smiley and this image will get the area one big headache some day. More than likely in the Himalayas...folks like to talk about the San Andreas in California..but the uplifting and pushing area in Neal and north is like this and boom..That will be the quake to end all quakes...

A few of us who have worked with USGS as pro-am's since 1992 have been learning together. My list Pinpoint put 2 people back in college for new degrees..one went back to finish BS and is now working on MS at 52 years old..the other is working on MS ...you would not believe the interest my group has in images such as this...I shall pass along the URL of this image for them...and as far as my lovely -patterns...I see them here...I can feel them in geologic time...talk about raw power...wow!

What a sharp image of these angled strata. The various layers are so clearly defined and different from one another. It is an interesting post. Thanks for sharing it.

The layers are very pronounced in this capture, Markus.
I am intrigued by the variations in each layer with significant colour changes.
The image is very sharp and your note educates us well on this geological phenomenon.
Thanks and regards.

Una bella continuación de tu anterior trabajo Markus, y que nos ilustra de las características de esa zona y esos particulares sedimentos. En cuanto a la fotografía veo naturalidad en el color y buena disposición del motivo para su presentación.
Saludos y buen Domingo: Josep Ignasi

Anather great geological formation. The stratification is very clear in this shot. Your notes are excellent as usual.
Many thanks for sharing this.
Have a nice Sunday and greetings from TRNC,

Hi Markus!

This pattern looks wonderful again! It looks similar to coal in the dark parts for first, but it can be distinguished by the blueish tone. Blue and yellow tones always look fine together as this color combination adds some extra feel of contrast to me (might it be for they are opposite side of the color circle). It might even be good for boulder climbing (although I do that on indoor built walls only), it does not look like one that gets harmed by shoes and hands. Anyway, it looks very fine, so TFS! And for the good explanations with it too!

Best regards,
Andor

Hi Markus,
The different textures and colors of these layers of Flysch are most interesting. It shows the history of the land perfectly. I like the frame filling composition and the wonderful details in the photo. Your skill of managing the perfect clarity in a photo is huge.
TFS,

You have some interesting studies in texture and in rock structures. I love the subtle colour changes. Perfect DOF for the shot

Hello Markus. I like the framing of Flysch in this shot. The detail and texture is very well exposed making it looking rather geometric. The layers are amazing in the sense that how it was created. Good educational note that is new to me. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Markus,
Another one of your very attractive images. A clear mark of artistry and you have really been excellent in transforming the most ordinary to something absolutely extraordinary. Hat's off to you. Very neat and sharp image with great colours of nature portrayed here. Very nicely composed. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Hello Markus,
Very interested presentation of Flysh. On Your photo she obtained the artistic dimension. The sloping arrangement of following layers of sediments superbly tooks in this picture. Excellent colours, very well chosen contrast and the first-class sharpness. Placed by You note, grade to the photo superbly it supplements.
Best regards,
Jurek

Hi Markus

Nice to see you are still devoted to your series of wonderful abstracts. I really like the idea of having very good photographers here in every "field" :)

I probably said this before, but i actually think that abstracts are very relaxing to look at. It's something you can view and think of a million different things :)
This is also why i like shots like this, and the one here is again lovely. I really like the different color layers and the contrast they produce, but probably a bit more than that, i like the geometry: all the straight lines and angles look excellent! On to of everything, it's the diagonal lines that create a superb composition.

Very well taken and nicely presented with a terrific note.
Bravo and TFS

Bonjour Markus
Cette vue de l'histoire du monde a des couleurs que j'aime beaucoup.
Je suis toujours impressionné, par la beauté des roches qui se sont formées voici des millions d'années.
Merci
Amicalement

Lieber Markus,
ich hinke mal wieder hinten nach mit der TN- Inspektion. Hier überraschst Du uns alle mit einem Bild aus dem Plasselbschlund. Dein Enthusiasmus für das Gebiet ist natürlich bekannt, aber mit dem Bild überzeugst Du uns andere. Das raffinierte am Bild (für mich): es sieht aus wie aus einem offenen Geologiebuch, regt uns zu Überlegungen zur Entstehung der Gesteine an--aber gibt das Geheimnis nicht preis. Toll gemacht, Markus!
Ich versuche mich demnächst mit einem Bild mittels Vertical grip auf TN montiert zu revanchieren, ich bin vom grip begeistert und setze ihn routinemässig ein. Ich halte dann die Kamera mit beiden Händen, eine am grip und eine anm Blitz, das führt zu erstaunlicher Stabilität.
