This was the day for folds! Beautiful structures. See how the layers are bent next to the pink vein? It is a tiny example, but the large ones are ifficult to photograph.

This was bigger, but still only the size of a beach ball.

Yet another sheep found me interesting.

In another area, the veins were stretched and broken apart, looking a bit like sausages on a string.

And here are swirls of a quartz vein within extremely folded layers. And more sausages.

We ate lunch adjacent to this astonishing cove, which has rocks laminated by strain. Then we climbed toward the water to look more closely.

The waves weathered the layers into shapes made by the folds of the laminated layers.

At a different cove, we walked out to see stretched pebble conglomerates. The idea here is that this was once a sedimentary rock which was pushed so tightly that the pebbles became elongated. Each of the  whitish lenses are likely pebbles from the original rock. Kind of like extremely elongated sausages from the previous pictures.
