Ripples over Bedrock № 1

Water ripples are forming in very shallow water of a Piedmont stream as it flows over orange bedrock. The rock is a metamorphosed argillite (fine-grained sedimentary rock) whose present color is the result of weathering in an oxygen-rich environment.

The stream is in Uwharrie National Forest, North Carolina.
