Deposition Patterns in Pool
  • Location: White Scar Caves, North Yorkshire.

This shot I took quickly on the way out. I happened to notice some depositional patterns in a shallow pool. The patterns (the light structures in the lower half of the picture), are calcium carbonate formations below the surface of the water. I think they are a product of the rippling of the water surface, and perhaps some small, for want of a better word "tidal" or "current" influences. Either way they roused my curiosity.
