A Limestone Pavement with well developed Clints (blocks) and Grykes (gaps). This is Carboniferous age limestone, part of a large area of Karst above Austwick, Yorkshire, UK. Slightly acidic rainfall, erodes and enlarges naturally occurring joints in the limestone leaving a characteristic pavement surface. February 2018

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the enchanting world of Austwick, Yorkshire, where a mesmerizing limestone pavement awaits your exploration. This print showcases the remarkable beauty of this Carboniferous age limestone formation, adorned with well-developed clints (blocks) and grykes (gaps). Marvel at nature's artistry as slightly acidic rainfall gracefully erodes and enlarges the naturally occurring joints in the rock, creating an awe-inspiring pavement surface. Transport yourself to February 2018 when Graham Eaton captured this snapshot of geological wonder. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of karst landscapes found in Western Europe. As you gaze upon this picture, let your imagination run wild with thoughts of ancient mysteries waiting to be unraveled. Delve deeper into geology and geomorphology as you ponder how erosion and acid rain have sculpted these intricate patterns over time. But don't just admire from afar; imagine yourself traversing these rocky pathways, feeling each clint beneath your feet while carefully navigating through grykes that beckon further exploration. This print is a testament to Mother Nature's artistic prowess – a masterpiece etched by millions of years' worth of natural forces. So go ahead, hang it on your wall or share it with friends – but remember not to mention commercial use! Let its vibrant hues transport you to England's breathtaking countryside and inspire wanderlust for adventures yet to come.
