TUFA CALCITE TERRACES - a photo on Flickriver

TUFA CALCITE TERRACES

            Tufa is a variety of limestone formed when carbonate minerals precipitate out of water in unheated rivers or lakes. In this case, the “terraces” resulted from the outflow of carbonate-rich water from Harpur Hill Quarry, which ceased production of limestone in 1952. I first noticed it when I used to drive past it on my regular trans-Pennine commute to work, back in the mid ‘90s, since when it has grown considerably! Note that the various colours of the individual terraces are simply reflections in the overlying film of water. This is an HDR triplet, taken with the Canon Eos 5D Mark IV.
