Rock of Ages - Abandoned Rock Quarry Images

Posted on Friday 17 February 2006 by Dave Schumaker

Here is some seemingly random geology news (in the same vein as the erupting volcano cake) that I’ve had in my “Post to Geology News” folder for quite sometime now.

Photographer Edward Burtynsky has a special series of pictures he’s taken of abandoned rock quarries in the United States. The series is entitled Rock of Ages. There are some very dramatic and impressive pictures in the collection.
