Good morning Jenny; wonderful textures and colours in this image. I love rocks and the swirling veins of colours and bold textures; reminds of a series I posted 4 years ago about the rock formations from Arizona and Nevada (posted on a another web site). Love this one. Beautifully captured. Hope you're having a good weekend.
