The gently sloping sea bed
continues on shore to give a gently undulating plain in front of
the mountains of fractured and broken rock. In the nooks and
crevices between the rock however where soil has had a chance to
accumulate alpine plants have managed to take a hold and start
to grow. Little delicate pretty flowers amongst the harshness of
the landscape adding a somewhat unreal element as if they have
been accidentally dropped by a passing gardener.
