MOZAKAMA BAY

Now you know why we call it KAMA. 




700  foot diabase -capped mesas and cuestas rising out of Superior.




Sibley sedimentary rocks.


Peregrine Falcons now nest in these cliffs.



A sequence of flat-laying, pale sandstone beds
alternating with thin strata of brick-red impure dolomites
and dolomite limestones.





The dark colours are fine grained diabase sills.

Lying in wait.

A quiet afternoon on the shore of Mozakama Bay, Aug 25,2011.







I guess I was trying to see around this rare reed-bed and tilted my camera.
