Description A tessellated pavement is a rare erosional feature formed in flat-lying sedimentary rock formations that occurs on some ocean shores. It is so named because the rock has fractured into regular rectangular blocks that appear like tiles, or tessellations. The cracks (or joints) were formed when the rock fractured through the action of stress on the Earth's crust and were subsequently modified by sand and wave action. Sunrise on the tessellated pavement at Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, illustrating the pan formation of tesselationA well-known example of this formation can be found at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula of Tasmania. This consists of two types of formations, a pan formation, and a loaf formation. It has also been suggested as a possible explanation for the Bimini Road in the Bahamas.The pan formation is a series of concave depressions in the rock, and typically forms further away from the seashore. As a result, this part of the pavement dries out more at low tide, and allows salt crystals to develop further, resulting in salt forming on the surface, and eroding the surface more quickly than at the joints. As a result, the surface of the 'pans' erodes more quickly, while the joints erode more slowly, resulting in the concave pan.The loaf formations occur on the parts of the pavement closer to the seashore, and as a result, are immersed in water for longer. These parts of the pavement do not dry out as much, reducing the level of salt crystallisation. Water carries abrasive sand, and the water is typically channelled through the joints, resulting in the joints eroding faster than the rest of the pavement, resulting in loaf-like structures protruding.Award: - 1st Prize in Federation of Camera Club (NSW) 2009 Topshot for Australian Digital Landscape- Merit at Castle Hill Agricultural Show Photography Competition -Merit at Castle Hill RSL Camera Club Monthly competition
Jason Pang, Sydney Member Since July 2009 Artist Statement Born in Singapore and currently living in Sydney, Australia, I'm a photographer with a passion for landscape and portraits photography. It was back in 1996 when I first started photography on my first SLR (Nikon F70). I've only got serious with photography 10 years later when I bought my Nikon D200 DSLR in 2007 and D300 in 2009, having discovered the wonderful world of digital photography. Digital Photography has since opened up my eyes on how I see things in a different perspective. I enjoy taking seascape, portraits as well as event photography and I'm currently an active member of Castle Hill RSL Camera Club and a member of the Australian Photographic Society.
