| About 13,000 years ago the when great ice age ended in Ireland, and the glacial ice sheet receded from the igneous bedrock (made from lava) that makes up the majority of north and west Donegal....the process that defined the modern coastline began. Recently as I walked along the shoreline of Donegal Bay, I marvelled at these sea cliffs (a smaller version of their sister cliffs at Slieve League) and the beautiful striated layers that the wind, sand, and storm surge had created long grooves and pits(called ventifaction)in the stone face over thousands of years. It felt as if time stood still for a moment, at such an ancient place. The weathering continues. I shot this photo in natural light, as is. |

Good sharpness for a relatively slow shutter-speed Christopher. Great saturation, and a nice observation.
Cheers

Though I don't believe in an ice age, this was a very unique capture. In particular, I love the bright green moss on the bottom third. Makes a nice contrast and just 'jumps out' of the photo. Good shoot.
