Beschrijving:
Pt Sierra Nevada in far background. Lovely cloudy-bright day, perfect for flower photography. Almost no wind! The rectangular sea-cave (left center) is new this year. This cliff-face represents a perfect geological history of this part of the coast. The youngest gravels (on top) are from the recent Ice Ages. The older, layered gravels rest on the dark bedrock of the Franciscan Complex, all ultimately altered basalt. A quick refresher: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franciscan_Complex The geomorphology of this retreating bluff-face is pretty cool too. Life is persistent, even when those poor plants are headed for a salt-water death in the next wet winter!
