Bank Peninsula...invasion of the sea!

Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 23 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Their volcanic craters have subsequently been enlarged to many times their original size by stream erosion; they were then invaded by the sea during the postglacial world-wide rise in sea level beginning about 15,000 years ago.

Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)

If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

@kylie: Thank you so much Kylie! You don't have to apologise, I think we all know how hard it is to keep up sometimes. I think that at least if we know we are all coming from the same space....that sometimes we can't keep up...but we always look or try to, thats enough ay:-)) Have a good day!
