Ancient Dune, Modern Cliff
by Robert Wu
Ancient sand dunes exposed off a cliff face on the shoreline of Nova Scotia at Island provincial park. The juxtaposition of the high angled stata and flat lying layers above revels the drastic change in climate in Nova Scotia's history; from vast sand dunes to a calm lake system, and presently the western coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.
