EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of coastal rocks and pebbles found on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, UK. The image captures the result of relentless coastal erosion, which has sculpted these unique formations over time. The rocks and minerals featured in this composition are truly remarkable. Among them is serpentine, a striking black-green stone adorned with veins of red and brown. Many of these rocks are either igneous or metamorphic, displaying intricate patterns caused by granite and quartz veins. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of Europe's wet nature as it portrays the rugged coastline of Cornwall. The smoothness and rounded edges of these eroded stones evoke a sense of tranquility amidst the crashing waves. With its rich geological history, this region offers an abundance of natural wonders to explore. From grey granite to vibrant serpentine, each rock tells a story etched by wave action along England's seashores. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but appreciate how nature's forces have shaped every pebble and stone present on this beach. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant elements hold immense beauty when observed closely. Dr Keith Wheeler's skillful photography allows us to marvel at this snapshot from Science Photo Library without any commercial intent – simply appreciating Earth's physical geography at its finest.
