Description
These lines of pebbles through the sandstone speak to me of an amazing story. Many millions of years ago, this area was part of a shallow inland sea. I picture these tumbled, water smoothed quartz stones as a multi-colored pebble beach, blazing under a hot tropical sun; with tree ferns, fossils of which I find on my own place, waving in the background. They are now escaping, one pebble at a time, through the slow process of erosion, from their ancient sandstone prison.

Trail 10 - Sculpture A note about post work in this series. These were shot on a very dark, cloudy day. I have seen these stones in full daylight; the post work I do is only meant to reproduce that daylight appearance. I make small adjustments in brightness, contrast, and saturation to achieve that. Also I am working with pictures about 30mb in size, and I often apply some unsharp mask to help preserve some of the detail after the compression to 512kb. And of course I added the frames, made from a pattern photographed here.

That really is amazing. To think that once upon a time these stones saw daylight, then were entombed for who knows how long, and now are emerging once again into the light. Awesome shot.
