| Craggy Rocks, Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada © Doug Hickok As the mists of sea fog roll in and out along this rocky shoreline, a weakening sun, reflected in a tide pool, tries to break through thick layers of clouds. These slippery, craggy rocks are the backbone of Campobello Island and make for tricky beach walking, if you dare. The rocks consist mostly of quartzite, a very hard and compact metamorphic rock, which was once sandstone but transformed after millions of years of intense geologic pressure and heating. |

Fine picture and geology lesson. Compositionally an interesting sweep up from bottom left to top right sugggestive to me at least of the rocks being thrust up to the surface.
ReplyDeleteawesome vertical depth and really nice point of view in this brilliant presentation
ReplyDeleteI love fog. And your shot is original.
ReplyDeleteWOW....thats a very nice shot Doug, great photo !!
ReplyDeletegreetings and a nice day, Joop
they look a bit like made of coal
ReplyDeletei have a commitment bringing me to the area in early march. but even if i miss the spring unfolding i still think it will be gorgeous. any suggestions of where to stay, where to walk, where to eat, what to see?
ReplyDeletebeautiful crisp details and contrast
ReplyDeleteLove the smooth texture of the rocks.
ReplyDeleteSuperb! Exactly the lonely, misty shores, I remember from the Vancouver Island...
ReplyDeleteWell framed. The somewhat diagonal framing of the tide pool is quite effective, and the soupy distant air makes a nice contrast to the glow of the sun in the pool.
ReplyDeletetruly a marvel, doug! the perspective, the keen focus, the magnificent texture of the rocks and the attractive reflection ... all this combines to make one very, very beautiful photo!
ReplyDelete(thanks for your positive comments re my recent posts, doug, especially today's with emilia ...!)
Excellent picture. You have a very good eye to position yourself for great shots.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
