A photo of a broad expanse of mountain slope, with very rugged stone ridges above. The slope in the middle of the image is a mixture of talus (Larger sized rocks and rock debris that doesn't move a lot), and scree (smaller rock debris that can be very loose). Both these debris fields end at the bottom of the image in a field of large boulders of various sizes, with a few brave young green trees hoping to not get crushed. The rocky mixtures have a wide variety of colors, but en mass they fall between dull reds and yellows, to light and dark greys. The upper rocky ridgelines show complex folding and layering, as well as colors ranging from dusky gold alternating with charcoal and brown layers, as well as some outcrops of red and black. The main peak to this mountain is roughly at center, with a pronounced pointy peak, which is surrounded by the one patch of blue sky in the sky above the mountain. The rest of the sky is a solid tumble of white and grey fluffy clouds. This is the 9,000 foot (2743m) mountain named Mount Thielsen in Southern Oregon, north of Crater Lake. This view of the mountain is very close to a very steep slope looking directly upward toward the summit area.
So, #RockinTuesday... Not my favorite tag, but I do like #rocks!
Here's a large #Talus slope with some #Scree thrown in for fun!
Talus is (hopefully) immobile rock on a steep slope, while Scree is much smaller, more loose material on a slope. #MtThielsen, #SouthernOregon. Looking UP!
