Still life or active planet?
by Jennifer Ziesch, State Authority for Mining, Energy and Geology, Hannover, Germany
Even though the picture looks like still life, it shows the character of an active Earth. Water is one of the driving forces on Earth. This photo shows coastal erosion by the sea and waves. Stones are rounded by the movement of the water.
The photo was taken on the coast of the island of Møn, Denmark.
