Change in a changeless world



As with many subjects, I wish I knew more geology. When you see something as obvious as this formation of, I assume, metamorphic among what seems sedimentary. What do I know. Not a lot. But it does make you think what has happened here over many millions of years. Any change around here happens at an unimaginably slow pace and yet it does still happen. Catastrophic change (on a human scale) still creates even these seemingly unchanging environments. The scattered rocks around, that seems like they've been dropped from the heavens, could have been in their place for hundreds of millennia, maybe millions. After all, those views of the moon are sometimes billions of years old.
