Thanks Mike for the nice series of geology photos.  Nice textures.  Some are difficult to judge the scale without the obvious tree or lichen. starwatcher

Thanks, starwatcher. Glad you like them!

IIRC the bedding planes in the metamorphic inclusions (Sept 4) were 1 or 2 mm in thickness (so the two big chunks were about 5 cm thick each), and the band of granite on the right (Sept 5) was about 30 cm thick.

The old saw "Every picture tells a story" is especially true for rock photos. I wish my geological knowledge were better though - I'm sure I am missing a lot of the nuances of the histories of these spots.
