Eliza Waters 
Glorious shapes and colours, Eliza.
Thank you, Anne. Earth truly amazes!
Beautiful colours! ❤️
Thank you, John!
👍🏻☺️
Lots of thin layers, compressed and tilted. Maybe an ancient lake bed? And beautifully coloured too!
Yes, most likely and heaved sideways by Pacific tectonic activity. Geology is so cool! 😀
Whoa! What is this?
Rock formations at Laguna Beach, Crescent Bay. Carlsbad has worn beach stones in similar colors. Amaaazing!
Amazing earth design 🧡👏
Agreed, no wonder I am a big fan of the Mother! 🙂
Me too!!
The blue and yellow combination seems unusual to me. It certainly is beautiful.
Thanks, Linda. To find such varied minerals layered like this is unusual. The hoodoos of Bryce come to mind. The West has some great rock formations.
This looks like a landscape, Eliza…
Yes, like we’re in a plane over mountains. Nature is truly so amazing. 💚
Hopefully that will never change, Eliza…
What a fascinating photo…so much to see. Looks like (miniature) mountains. I looked up why sedimentary tock has yellow colors.

Minerals create different colors. The beaches here have many different colored stones worn smooth. The kid in me wanted one of each!

Wowwwww look at eARTh!!!! Gorgeous!!!!
Isn’t she AMAZING? 🙂
She sure is!!!!
Geology rocks — beautiful swirls and colors, just imagine the forces needed to create this!
Yes, what a story this rock tells! 🙂
Wow….these are so beautiful!
IKR? I loved the layers of different colors. 🧡 💜 💙 💚
Great colors. We have no rocks here.
Living in New England, we have plenty! 😉
The pebbles and stones along this beach in SoCal are all these colors, so pretty.
I have a few rocks in my yard that I brought from our former house in CT.
Incredible lines, textures and colors! Lovely!
Thank you, Donna!
Wonderful pattern and colors. Must have been a treat to see that.
Oh, yes, it was. I took many photos of it, too, like a true native nerd (and proud of it, ha)! 🙂
Beautiful! This looks like some modern art even though it could be millions of years old.
Thank you, Hien. I love the thought that it has been around that long. Geology stretches the imagination!
Oh, my goodness! So many beautiful layers of color. 😏
IKR? I was mesmerized! 🙂
It draws you in in wonder. Thank you Eliza 💐
Thank you, Val! x
There’s a whole universe in that rock.
Indeed, things like this stop me in my tracks… so much to ponder!
Wonderful image, Eliza.
Thank you, Jane. ❤
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Sandy!
My pleasure, Eliza.
Stunning !
Thank you! 🙂
It looks fascinating close up like that Eliza. Beautiful colours.
Thank you, Cathy!
Wow, beautiful
Thank you, Karina!
This reminds me of Geology class — wish I’d had such a beautiful sample to study though!
Thanks, Debbie. 🙂 Geology and the eons of earth years are so much to wrap one’s mind around!
Lve the colors
Thank you, Sherry!
Fabulous!!🙂
Thank you, S!
Color, shape, and texture. Beautiful, Eliza!
Thank you, Steve!
How exceptional and lovely!
Thank you, Belinda. I find myself wondering how exactly those layers formed by alternate flooding?
Eliza, thanks for sharing your gorgeous photo. You’ve really captured the texture, and in some ways, history as well.
Thank you, Alys. Much appreciated!
Wow, is the rock as blue as it looks in those photos of is that a trick of the light? In either case, it’s spectacular!
While it may be the camera and lighting, it really was bluish and a sulfur yellow. Taken not too far from you. Have you been to Crescent Bay Beach?
Interesting. No, I’ve visited a friend in Laguna Beach once (before she moved) but never actually visited any local beaches there.
Carlsbad has beach stones in these colors, so I surmise there must a fairly good stretch with these rock formations.
Brilliantly striated. All those years of pressure buckling and folding the rock.
It is fun to ponder its million of years of history.
Rocks like those are a photo-magnet.
Agreed!
These rocks look very similar to petrified trees in the AZ desert.
I imagine the minerals in rocks of the southwest have similarities. I’d love to see the petrified forest some day!
I hope you will.
What amazing colours and always strange to see how the earth has slipped over time.
Thank you, Susan. Geologic time boggles the mind!
WOW … that’s beautiful … both in pattern and color! Great shot! 🙂
Thank you very much, Denise!
WOW. I mean. !!
Thanks, Bela. It was pretty unusual to see all those different layers of color all in one rock.
Omg i would have been so excited!
🙂
Beautiful patterns!
Thank you, Andrea!
