Not panoramic Jak, I know, perhaps my weird sense of humour or perhaps it was a slight at my Dutch relations in Holland who think I'm living upside down. Thanks for your rating anyway. Cheers, Jim.

It may look like a bushfire, but, no it is a genuine sunset unenhanced.

Wow ... this is fascinating stuff. Like & Fav! I've only heard of columnar basalt, but basalt is very much hexagonal, and this stuff isn't. I checked the geology, and it is called "dolerite" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/58828131@N07/5600248688/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeologyofTasmania and http://www.mrt.tas.gov.au/mrtdoc/dominfo/download/UR199122/UR199122.pdf) Dolerite is a "mafic" rock coming from deep in the earth's crust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafic). Most of the earth's crust is "felsic" which is lighter and ends up on top of mafic materials (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felsic). Dolerite and basalt are similar in composition, but basalt is "finer grained". I'm going to research this some more!
