This is part of the wall of Fort Perch Rock in New Brighton at the mouth of The River Mersey. Why these three blocks have worn so much I do not know. But, I thought they looked interesting.

That was very interesting quartzite. I can see why these would have caught your eye U. Steve, they are unusual. Great shot. YFJ

When you first look at the top left brick, it looks quite 3D on the screen, interesting how the eye plays tricks :)
Cool shot

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
And I was right...
These bricks are cut from natural sandstone rock and are from a formation called the Sherwood Sandstone!
Its lies beneath our feet in a large part of the Cheshire Merseyside, G.Manchester area, and has the characteristic red colour. The Sherwood Sandstone was formed somewhere in the region of 200 million years ago, in hot, dry, arid desert conditions. The lines are what is referred to as cross bedding and they are formed by the migration of sand dunes blown by the wind.
Then, 200million years later (after the rocks had been buried, squashed a little and the exhumed back to the surface) man comes along, quarries the rock and builds things with it!
Great picture!
