How did these pebbles get up here?

[Bachs]

Taken at Seatton Cliffs Arbroath quite high up.
The whole stretch of North Eastern Scottish coastline was battered by a tsunami hundreds of thousands of years ago when a large section of land collapsed into the sea in Norway.

Also the aftermath of the last Ice Age raised the land level a good distance up as the weight of the ice was removed.
These pebbles must have been at sea level at some point!

I love it when Geology is staring you right in the eye.

It puts our brief span in perspective doesn't it?

Phenomenal ... nature at its most !

Definately makes you think doesn't it. How insignificant we really are in not only the grand scheme of things, but also in our time on this planet.
