Manitoulin Island, Pavement Limestone, Misery Bay - 2007 (PiP)

Compact and leveled limestone bedrock creats a biological environment known as Alvar. According german wikipedia one more criterion shall be that the limestone rock was more or less planed by the ice of the ice age. Often scratches of those glacier works can be seen on the surface of the "pavement".

Two further sites about Canadian Alvars worth seeing, you'll find here - very nicely written and garnished with most beautiful images:

Oh, and by the way: the sky was brought by Skylum's Luminar AI. On my original JPG it was dazzling white ... I experiment with it, but whenever skies or light mood is effected with it, I tag it with "Luminar AI".
