Rock Patterns at Waulkmill Bay 1-9 – Natural abstract patterns and textures in pink, yellow, and buff Eday Group sedimentary rock (possibly Lower Eday Sandstone Formation) on Orkney Mainland at Waulkmill Bay. These brightly coloured, water-worn flat rock surfaces on the north side of the bay provide a marked contrast to the black lichen-covered rocks nearby.
