A geology trip at long last
Posted: Saturday, 01 March 2008 |
It has been particularly frustrating over the past few weeks trying to get the next series of geology field trips up and running. I still have two trips to do with the previous class! Anyway, Saturday's forecast wasnt too horendous so we decided to go for it. Carsaig was the place again - best place I reckon for a "first trip" with a new class - it's easy walking, well OK, its a bit muddy... and the distances arent too great.
Everything went very well, the weather behaved and we found loads of good stuff among the rocks. Lots of wildlife to spot as well.
Only got a few pics of the day - didnt actually manage to photograph anything new, so rather than duplicate pics, here are just a few of folk having fun:
This is what the sea looked like - and yes, that IS a colour picture. Mind you it WAS dry, so cant complain
Entire class asked to stand behind the waterfall while I took a pic.
Yes, it looks like a seal, but it is actually a boulder on the beach!!
Happy geology students at the end of the day!
And just as an extra, here are some pics of the waterfalls in Aros Park the day before - it was HEAVING down all day and the waterfalls did what waterfalls do when you get vast amounts of water - quite impressive so it was.
If there was sound with these pics, you would be deafened....
See you soon!

I love the waterfall pics, MM. The first one with the group standing behind looks like something out of Lord of the Rings (apart from the outfits, of course!).

Somewhere behind that waterfall are Faramir and his men, plus two scared hobbits and below, by the raging torrent, Gollum lurks... Stunning moving-water pics MM.

Your field trips look much more interesting than the ones I went on. Dry river beds just aren't the same.

thanks again MM for another good one!

Great pics, MM. I know what you mean about the waterfalls - the one on the hill on the way down into Tob makes a lot of noise and it's not as big as the ones in the park.
