These sandy citadels won’t be around forever, so I snapped them with my iPad camera while bike riding in Bluffers Park this morning.
It was muddy down there after last night’s thunderstorms, but breezy, cool and dry. Great for a ride around the park. I washed up the bike at home and it’s ready to roll again.
You can see a dark strata line very distinctly on the cliff face. An ancient forest fire?
Erosion will inevitably bring these beauties down. It’s not just the lake, lapping at the base; myriad streams running from the land side are major causes of erosion. See the big V notch carved in the cliff? That’s runoff water chewing away. Apparently we lose about 300 centimetres a year. Several cliff top homes have already been condemned and lost.
