Erosion Puzzle
Just an odd view from a sand dune cliff.

A very different look to this one, Steve. Lots of layers and colors throughout. :cool:

Steve,

Alright, I give. What the heck is the scale here? Could be anything from about a foot, to some landscape taken from a helicopter. Ok, I do see a small plant at the top left, so that gives me a little clue. But seriously, this is one heck of a "puzzle" and I find this very intriguing and I really like it. Great color too. Fascinating Steve.

It's about 8 feet Lon, something there pulled me somehow.

Steve,

If it were not for the plant on the upper left, the scale of this would be very difficult to determine. It's a nice abstract. The color is rich and varied, as well. There is some very interesting geology here. This looks like the deformation zone of a fault. Where is this?

Without seeing that palm-like plant in the ULC the scale of this image would be hard to determine. I like the different shapes, textures and colors captured here. I might prefer a crop off the bottom to eliminate/minimize those bottom rocks, but I'd have to see that to be sure. Well seen and captured!

That is a bizarre find Steve, very deceiving. Even more so if you get rid of the rock on the bottom...

Thanks guys these are dunes right near Pismo Beach. Hope to get better at these abstract shots.

WOW, the scale on this one really throws me off, lots of interesting shapes and colors though.
