Rapid Cooling (1 pip)

At Torrisdale Bay on the Eastern Cost of Kintyre is this extraordinary rock formation, formed I assume as molten lava reached the sea! However, information regarding these rocks appears to be non-existent.
PIP included for a cross view !

The sea is the Kilbrannan Sound with the Isle of Arran in the far distance

I will also say that in the main image, the light/Lens combination has turned the rock slightly greener than I remember it!

It only really becomes clear in a large view !!!!!!

A fantastic photo.
As if lava had flowed there only recently, and then the sea threw these pebbles over it...

The rock formation is so unusual and very beautiful Roger. A superb view in your main shot and I love the PiP. It shows the rocks and their amazing colours perfectly.
