Description
While we descend we get a nice view on the foldings in the rocks of the Schilthorn. The dark rocky layers are not straight at all, but show typical deformations. The geology of the Alps is very complicated and there are still many questions that have never been answered. As if a giant hand has folded these rock-layers into the mountain we see here!

I love the unusual swirls and lines in the rock!! Almost looks like the wind swept by and somehow froze a moment in time. i may not be describing well what i mean to say...like the whish of the wind...and it got frozen, and we are seeing that moment. Sorry...i'm sleepy. i see what you're saying about a hand. Thanks you for this...i could get lost in the intricate lines!!! Fantastic work, Jan-Carel!

A fascinating mass of raw rocks, the layers, folds and swirls leave me wondering how long ago did it take to 'throw' them that way and over what period of time? Maybe we'll never know all the answers! Marvellous capture!

May I send you a critic? Ok, (if you agree), there's something missing in this picture (for me). Maybe it's in the light or in the way you've croped it. Or maybe it's just an external element (human, tree) to help us to realize the size and context of the picture. Anyway, I'm still fan of what you give us every day, ciao...

Neat, I wonder if it was flowing lava or the push of a glacier that caused that. Too cool!
