Sometime we understimate the power of Nature. Give a look to this photo and imagine how powerful were the forces that did this masterpiece.

These pics are wonderful ! I don't know the english words, but in France we say "synclinorium" for the first one, and "synclinal" for the second one (It exists "anticlinal" too).

Great photos Nando and Auspex. I'll have some contributions later when I get home and go through my Panoramas. In the meantime, if you like to see folds and learn about some of the processes that go into making them check out this blog: http://mountainbeltway.wordpress.com/
Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPhee

and this is a view of the side of a tightly folded anticline/syncline series of folds near Shamokin, PA. You can see a cross section of the folds on the left and the large hump running from left to right is call the "Whaleback".

Just found a few more pics in my field trip archives. These were found in a a moraine in Rocky Mountain National Park. Had they been smaller, it not been a national park and not on a steep mountainside... They would have come home with me.
