Fabulous capture of this pattern Karen.
The shadows play a great part here and I really like the earthy tones.
Nicely seen and composed.

I agree with you - if it wasn't for the stones at the top-right, this could be the ruins of an ancient city viewed from high above.
Well seen!

Hello again
I fell a bit behind in my critiquing so I'm catching up.
Shadow provide depth to the ridges, need something to indicate proportion, maybe some seaweed. Well captured with good clarity my friend.

Take the stones at the top right out of the frame and this does become an interesting shot in understanding scale - is it an overhead shot of a bleak landscape, a rockface or simply patterns in sand from the sea? Well spotted and well presented.
Thanks for sharing

These rocks are always interesting to look at and I often wonder what causes parts of the rock to stand out. Cool shot!

A good find Karen and you captured the textures very well. Fine detail and minimal OE with just the right amount of sharpness,
