Natures roadway.

Natures roadway.
A fascinating look of natures work here on our coast of Northumbria. Looking almost like a manmade road being distorted by an earthquake, I walked all over this to assure myself that it was indeed only natural rock and not man-made. I think there might be a name for all this apart from the obvious volcanic ‘Folded Rock formation’. Perhaps you my friends can enlighten me. = anticline. Thank you Judite.
Taken just past Dunstanburgh castle in Embleton Bay.
See PiP for alternative view.

Oh and thank you Judite. You are quite right that it is an 'anticline'. I had never heard that term before. Glad you enjoyed it and found it interesting enough to research. Well done.

Best wishes. Herb

A beautiful and fascinating image Herb. The light is lovely and has brought out the amazing details in the landscape.

I love the large stones and pebbles in the foreground and background..........and the rock formation is phenomenal. Great wave action too!

Great that you too enjoyed this most unusual rock formation. I only learned today on here that it is called a 'Anticline'. The waves -well they come for free!

Like with Toz and Keith above, it is always nice when people appreciate your work. We had a picnic just watching the waves here and trying to understand the rock distortions. A great area to visit.

A fascinating rock formation, Herb. If you hadn't told us it is natural I'd have thought it man-made.
