taken 16 years ago, near to Inchnadamph, Highland, Scotland

Karst Weathering
Karst Weathering
This is the typical weathering pattern of limestone where water has flowed over it, eroding gaps called grykes between remnant ridges called clints. The actual shape of the clints and grykes is related to the slope of the ground.
