I've seen them this summer during my irish holidays and these rocks are amazing! This picture reminds me the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland:

This is nothing like the seven-year drought of the late 1980s. Every now and then the water statraps drain the reservoir dry to re-engineer the run-off drains, which never seem to get fully fixed, seems like some kind of public works scam. I have in fact seen that drowned village Lexington (the Atlantis of Los Gatos), pretty much all that's there now is an old concrete brdige. Bradley, the water’s actually relatively high right now.

A few years back I read about the road and small settlement that used to exist there. Ooh, the water is getting low…any sign of the village yet?

It's very interesting from a science angle, and it helped me improve my drawing skills! Have you read the Betty Edwards book “Drawing on the Right-Side of the Brain”?

So many... one per year over years and years and years and years... Once I visited the Grand Canyon, saw similar striations, and realized that it was too much for me to see. Too complex; my input stack overflowed. The canyon defeated my brain. What gets to me are all those horizontal sediment layers. So many… one per year over years and years and years and years…
