One for the geology buffs - white limestone sheets folded vertically. Also a favourite with climbers, though they were finishing for lunch as we arrived to gigapan it from Lydstep Point. Skrinkle Haven beyond this is the subject of another gigapan - taken from Whitesheet Rock... See also gigapan.org/gigapans/515...

A famous locality for structural geologists outside Shamokin, Pennsylvania. The Whaleback, the low ridge in the center of the quarry, is the surface of an anticline exposed by coal mining. On the left (east) wall of the quarry one can see the anticline-syncline pair that was the subject of my first ever GigaPan (shot...

Geological contact between the older crystalline rocks and the overlying sandstone. The blue at the end is there to make the panorama large enough for the site.

This outcrop is a textbook example of axia...

A wide view of the West Castleton Fold. The West Castleton Fold was also the subject of my second ever (non-robotic) GigaPan (share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=1204). Lighting was not optimal this time, but I did the best with what I had. Unfortunately, there would not have been time to shoot bracketed HDR...
