A roadcut in the median of NJ Route 23 in Passaic County near the Charlotteburg Reservior. There's an even more spectacular anticline-syncline pair exposed in the roadcut immediately behind the camera location, however it was obscured by vegetation this time of year.

Let me tell you, sometimes I'm really grateful for the robot. The mosquitoes where I set up for this shot were deadly. I was drenched in Deet and they still swarmed me. Once I had the shot running I beat a hasty retreat for my Jeep. If it weren't such an interesting shot geologically I doubt I'd have even made it t...
