Flowing rock WC 583

I'm always fascinated by the grain in rocks. Here in New England they often indicate glacial movement, generally N-S. The reddish-brown hues give a very earthy feeling, and the parallel lines set a nice rhythm while leading your eye through the frame. The darker vein adds some nice contrast too. I probably would have removed the distracting stick in the lower right to clean it up a bit, but even so, a beautiful shot.

The colors and flow lines are really nice here, John. The grassy areas on the right add some good color contrast. The sticks in the lrc are somewhat distracting. Would it have been possible to take a few steps to your left to get them out of the picture?

I like the flowing and twisting lines in these rocks and the unique colors. That dark band adds extra interest. Sure makes one stop and wonder in amazement about all the powerful forces that caused these formations to happen. I agree with others about the sticks on the right being somewhat distracting. . .I think a crop from the right to get rid of these sticks would work well.

Certainly looks as if these rocks were indeed flowing at some point in the past; perhaps an igneous intrusion; and that contrast between the solidity of rock and the fluidity liquid, as your title suggests, is very interesting.

I also like the accent of green which contrasts nicely color-wise with the reds in the rock, and I like the general diagonal flow from the lower left (darker) to the upper right (lighter).

In the larger view, it definitely appears to be lgneous, laminar flow.
