RE: #landscapephotography entry 2
Thanks for commenting with a valid question @larrabeb.
Yes the rocky outcrops are made up from layers of sediment deposits from an ancient delta river.
I'm guessing the change of seasons and heavy snow melts would have left different sediment content, hence the layers, but as I say, that is just a guess. If you see a map of peak district's contours it's easy to see how it's been gouged out by heavy waterflow.
Right on dude, I study geology at university. Good luck with the contest, always like to see geology taking victories!

Lol, it's a good job I got that right then!
It's hard for me to imagine how things would have been back then, I get stuck on the thought that it certainly would have made an interesting white water rafting experience, probably with Noah and his ark going by.
BTW, if we ever get similar floods again I think you have to try and make it as far as Buxton to stand sa chance of not getting your feet wet. Haha!
You white water raft? I'm a hard shell kayaker!
No I don't raft, I used to do a lot of white water kahaking. It's been a while now though, ny last boat was the Creek 280. If you look at my blog, 2 or 3 posts back there was a white water kayak photo, see if you can work out what's happening in it. ;) I'm pretty sure you'll relate to the text with the post.
