• right to left wave percussion
• weathered dolerite slab
• horst-and-graben structure of the Derwent Valley

Observations:

Sunlight on Tranmere Hills

Gentle rumbly waves and smooth inside spiral of turbo shell. Weathering of dolerite slab and adjacent boulders - with iron content making interesting concentric circle patterns (onion-skin weathering) . Dolerite is quite coarse though - I am drawn more to the smooth surface of the turbo shell remnants.
