Hard Rock

Geology is often the key to understanding a landscape: its shape, its biology and its relationship with those other vital elements of water and sky. Many landscape photographers have more than a passing interest in geology and rocks. Perhaps it is hardly surprising that so many of us are drawn to making images of rocks alone.  I am never bored on a rocky beach particularly below a towering cliff because I know I will eventually find either a natural sculpture or a recurring pattern that will draw my eye and offer food for thought. Whether the subject is the grand face of a high mountain or a more modest section of cliff, there will be drama to capture and an idea to fire the imagination.
