Big Rocks, Small Rocks

DSC07055.jpeg

Big Rocks, Small Rocks, they all play their part in the landscape makeup of the Canadian Rockies. These particular rock formations here are really outstanding to look at. I love how the rock layers look like they are stacked together. A work of art really. Nature’s handy work. Moving on to the smaller rocks, it does appear that some local humans gathered these up and piled them high. But is that really what happened? I know as glacial ice sheets recede and whatnot, they do leave rock piles in their wake. Like the rock pile at Moraine lake, which is gargantuan in comparison to this one. It seems likely that this one in a human creation. Photos taken inside Kananaskis country, Alberta, Canada.

The black and white shots are my favorites, they are the ones where the beautiful details of the rocks are most noticeable.

I like rocks.

I wonder how long it took someone (or several) to build that pyramid shaped rock pile.

I like color and B & W. It's fun to see which details stand out in the B&W that your eye didn't pick up in the color version.

Very nice in the B&W's there. That is so interesting to look at, you can actually see how those layers from old sediment were pushed up as the mountain formed. Very cool. I'm an amateur geologist.

It does like someone built that nice rock pile, I guess the only questions is why? That looks like a lot of work to construct!

Exactly. Why would anybody take the time to pile up the rocks. Initially I figured it was just created by hikers (and their smaller family members), but then I thought possibly it was natural, but probably not.

@daveks The Canadian Rocky Mountains, certainly looks like a work of art, as if it were a painting or construction of a person, it is very beautiful this natural formation. As always, the photographic tonas are very beautiful. Have you ever had cold coffee with apple cut in trozitis, I made a publication of this drink. Success in your photographic works.

Every time I am in the mountains I am always in awe of the colors, patterns and layers of the rock. No matter how many times I see the same formations. Indeed works of art.
