The character of the rock changes as I continue my walk around the shoreline at Ferriters Cove in the Dingle Peninsula. Successive Silurian bedrock strata have different textures, colours, shapes, and sculpturings, each layer having originally been laid down on the bottom of an ancient shallow sea in varying environmental conditions that affected the chemical constituents and particle size of the sediments deposited, and the subsequent disturbance of each new layer.
Extraordinary contrasts in the rock in the same small area. There’s even something a bit ‘Anthony Gormley’ about some of them…

I agree that the rocks have an abstract sculptural quality.
