My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
It's an impressive rock formation, and I like the details I see. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
That is some wild geology there, and any time we see geological layers, thin and waving as these are, is signifies volcanic activity. Since this is on the Pacific shore, in Marin County, it would have been a result of tectonic layers reacting with one another. Fascinating stuff.
"The older rocks of coastal California are largely made of pieces of Pacific seafloor tectonic plates that were added to the continental margin as the Pacific Ocean crust was transported eastward where it sank beneath the western edge of North America. These distinctive ocean floor rocks accumulated in a "subduction zone" to form the world-famous Franciscan Complex, a complex jumble (melange) of igneous and sedimentary marine rocks named for exposures in San Francisco and underlying much of coastal Northern California east of the San Andreas Fault. Around San Francisco, Franciscan rocks range in age from about 200 Mya to 50 Mya (Mya - millions of years ago). The older part of the Franciscan Complex (200 Mya to 100 Mya) underlies most of Golden Gate National Recreation Area." ["Travels of the Marin Headlands", Golden Gate National Recreation Area website]

Bruce, I love this rock formation as well.
But only to see and admire, but not to climb, Buddy, 😁 !
