Andy Rodker replied to Xata:

Yes, a remarkable scoured slab. I wonder what caused the gashes?
I think it had to have been under a small glacier at the height of an Ice Age! (Yes, these mountains were under outlying ice caps occasionaly).

Andy Rodker replied to Peter Castell:

Many different types of granite, with different mixesof felspar, mica, quartz, etc. There is some similarity here to the granite of a few spectacular Cornish sea cliffs.

Thank you Malik.
I also like limestone scenery, especially karst, but I haven't been in a limestone area since I started taking photos again.

La nitidez y las formas... es bonita foto. La formación granítica será muy antigua... tiene muchas y profundas arrugas.

Andy Rodker replied to José Manuel Polo:

Thank you, José Manuel.
Yes; very old when formed metamorphically, not so old when last thrust up above the Meseta!

Andy Rodker replied to Jean:

Indeed, Jean! It's a favourite, almost secret, nook (and / or cranny?) in the mountains!
