The Goyt Syncline from Roach End (x 2 vert. exagg.)

The Goyt Syncline from Roach End (x 2 vert. exagg.)
Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK Group.
Very gloomy flat light when I took this. Must go back sometime.

This is a view looking north from Roach End in the Staffordshire Moorlands part of the Peak District National Park. The vertical scale has been exaggerated x2 in order to enhance the Namurian gritstone/shale dip and scarp topography and hence the geological structure. The Goyt Syncline can be seen running from the centre skyline down and off to the right. An eroded anticline is discernable on the left skyline, with the summit of Shutlingsloe dipping to the west (left).
