Pictured Rocks

This shot was taken at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore just before sunset. The colors in the rocks are the result of mineral deposits left as water seeps down the sandstone cliffs. In the winter these same rocks become large icefalls creating a regional destination for ice climbers.

Cool! And im glad you used the word 'seep' since that is indeed what it is doing here. I also like the bit of water at bottom. Nice entry...

I really like how I can see the detail in the rock face underneath the vertical lines. Great colors, too.

That is a lot of quite colorful iron streaks. Almost as if someone had squeegied paints on the sandstone.
