Lake Superior Coastline, UP

Im amazed at the diversity of rocks and formations along the Earth's coastlines. There quite different from lakes to oceans. Superior has a great collection of stones and I had some fun exploring the shore. I like the strangely different colors presented in this odd scene and one only nature can put together.

Thanks for your comments and time

Looks like an eye and grumpy eyebrow, with a partial nose. Almost like a demons profile! I don't know if you saw that, but it's amazing. Nicely composed. I really like the tones, and the simple / clean feel.

I can almost feel the texture in the deep red sandstone and the concretion is the perfect compliment of shapes and colors. Nicely done

Anthony - I saw the thumbnail and thought I was looking through an arch in the southwest, the blue on the rock was the sky. I opened the image and I have my bearings! That was a wild moment!

Fantastic. I had no idea what I was looking at when viewing the thumbnail and I was in for a delightful surprise when I open this. I love it.
