Layers of Flysch

The Zumaia flysch is a unique geological formation of alternating hard and soft rock layers on the Basque coast. This formation provides a record of Earth's history over the last 60 million years, visible in the cliffs of Zumaia. In my pictures I try to convey the stunning beauty of nature.
