Rocks, Rocks and More Rocks
Powell Lake is a very "rocky" place. Ancient volcanoes that formed the BC Coast Range have eroded over time leaving their granite intrusions exposed. Over time and with the help of ice age glaciers, huge outcroppings have been broken down and released into streams, rivers and ultimately the lake. Here are a few of my favourite rock shots.
This solid granite outcrop is in my cabin's "back yard."
An intrusive dike visible at the water's edge.
A rock with a large, distinctive inclusion.
Thanks for looking at my rock pictures. -- Margy
