The Pan Formation of Tessellated Pavement, Lufra, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia
Tessellated pavement is a relatively flat rock surface that is subdivided into more or less regular rectangles, blocks approaching rectangles, or irregular or regular polygons by fractures, frequently systematic joints, within the rock. This type of rock pavement bears this name because it is fractured into polygonal blocks that resemble tiles of a mosaic floor, or tessellations. The pan formation is a series of concave depressions in the rock that typically forms beyond the edge of the seashore. This part of the pavement dries out more at low tide than the portion abutting the seashore, allowing salt crystals to develop further; the surface of the pans therefore erodes more quickly than the joints, resulting in increasing concavity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Pan Formation of Tessellated Pavement in Lufra, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia. The tessellated pavement is a unique geological phenomenon where flat rock surfaces are divided into regular rectangles or irregular polygons by fractures and systematic joints within the rock. Resembling a mosaic floor, these polygonal blocks create an enchanting visual spectacle. The pan formation, depicted in this photograph, showcases a series of concave depressions that form beyond the seashore's edge. As low tide dries out this part of the pavement more than its adjacent areas, salt crystals develop further here. Consequently, erosion occurs at a faster rate on the surface of these pans compared to their joints, resulting in increasing concavity. Artie Photography has masterfully captured this natural wonder during sunrise dawn. The soft hues of orange and pink paint the sky as sunlight gently illuminates every detail on this flat rock surface. With Pirate Bay and Eaglehawk Neck serving as picturesque backdrops against which this landscape unfolds, it becomes evident why Tasmania is renowned for its breathtaking coastal scenery. In Artie Ng's skillful hands behind the lens, we witness nature's artistry come alive through his photography. This image invites us to marvel at Earth's intricate patterns while reminding us of our planet's awe-inspiring diversity and resilience.
