A view of the Tessalated pavement at Pirates bay, Tasman Peninsular, Tasmania, Australia
This unusual geological formation gives the rocks the effect of having been rather neatly tiled by a giant. The pavement appears tessellated (tiled) because the rocks forming it were fractured by earth movements. The fractures are in three sets. One set runs almost north, another east north east, and the third discontinuous set north north west. It is the last two sets that produce the tiled appearance. This tessellated pavement is one of the largest in the world

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Tessellated pavement at Pirates Bay, located in the stunning Tasman Peninsula of Tasmania, Australia. The unique geological formation depicted here gives an illusion as if a colossal being meticulously tiled these rocks. The pavement's tessellated appearance is a result of fractures caused by powerful earth movements. Interestingly, these fractures are divided into three sets: one set running almost north, another east-northeast, and the third forming a discontinuous pattern northwestward. It is primarily the last two sets that contribute to this extraordinary tiled effect. Considered one of the largest examples worldwide, this magnificent tessellated pavement has become an iconic landmark for nature enthusiasts and geology aficionados alike. Its intricate patterns and symmetrical arrangement never fail to leave visitors in awe of Earth's artistic prowess. The masterful photography captured by Southern Lightscapes-Australia perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and beauty found within this natural wonder. As you gaze upon this image print, let yourself be transported to Pirates Bay where you can marvel at nature's ability to create such breathtaking formations through its own subtle yet powerful forces.
