Description

Looking from Pringle Bay to Rooiels [SOLD]

Looking across Pringle Bay, towards Rooiels, the rounded peak in the middle distance.
There was a storm brewing on this day.

There are regions of intense folding in the Table Mountain Sandstone seen in the area. The contorted quartzites in the foreground are a great example of this.
Apparently the tip of the continent was depressed at some point fracturing in long East-West faults.
The layers of sediment slid down between the faults, folding against to opposite wall.
Then the tip of the continent was elevated, reversing the faults to expose the folds.

Something like that
