In The Groove II
These grooves in the rock are also glacial striae, but a bit weathered and less distinct than the one which is only a metre or two away and featured in a post last week, In the Groove. I prefer that other shot for its simpler foreground and leading lines, but this one is interesting too. My thoughts about this location are summed up in my earlier post, so I won’t go into that again.
This spot is at the upper reaches of the tide, and often is beyond the tide. The little grassy beach is a consequence of this location. The pebbles probably come from the bank behind which has a pebbly layer of glacial till sitting on top of the bedrock – the till is slowly eroding.

Amazing! I love that you can see the footprint of the glacier, left from so long ago. Now, in a distant time, it’s filled with life and color. What changes millennia bring.

Thanks Ryan! It was a huge amount of global climate change and associated devastation, slower then than what is going on now, possibly.

Yes. Let’s hope we can all turn it around or help slow it down.

Thanks Karen! I bet you could find similar along some of the lakes in the shield, and if you combined that with the fall colours it would be a pretty darn compelling subject.
