What really fascinates me, Mary, is how RED the stone and soil are! It almost reminds me of our Georgia clay!!
Mary MacADNski: That's what we have here. Our soil has quite a bit of clay, it's very red and sandstone is our only stone. It sure makes our greens, green.
Wild colors! Does it really look this way or did you process it?
Mary MacADNski: This is the true, natural colour. I don't process at all other than cropping and straightening horizons and have recently played around a bit. This photo: http://www.justpictureit.shutterchance.com/photoblog/True_Colours/
is also the true colour though it looks enhanced. It is nearing sunset and the red cliffs are like they're on fire. It's one of my favorite times to be at the beach.
The only time I've seen rocks, and soil, of this colour was up towards the north west of Scotland, south of Stonehaven in Kincardineshire. I'm sure there must be more places like it though.
I thought the colour was as magnificent then as I do now, to see it again in your pictures. It somehow makes the green grass look even brighter green.
Thanks, your lovely picture has evoked all sorts of memories.
Mary MacADNski: I've heard of this colour of soil in other places as well but have never encountered it myself. When I go anywhere with brown soil like I will see today travelling home, back to the island, it seems very odd.
Lovely pics of the beach. This is the colour of the soil north of Perth in Wetern Australia and if you are driving any great distance your car ends up this co;our by the end of the trip. My sister lived over there for a while and I was amazed at the vast landscape. And as Ellie said I also saw it in the Highlands of Scotland.
Mary MacADNski: I didn't get to western Aus. when I was there. I so wanted to. Of course Aus. has it's other famous red area.... I didn't get there either. LOL
