Boulders At Dusk

Boulders at Dusk

Limited Edition of 500 (Limited Editions include all media types/sizes)

Located on Koekohe Beach on the South Island of New Zealand,

The Moeraki Boulders are said to have formed due to the hardening of Paleocene mudstone which was buried in the mudstone cliffs. Over time, the sea’s waves have gradually eroded the softer stone to reveal the spherical formation beneath. Scientists believe that their spherical shape is due to their source of carbon being mass diffusion, which lead the rocks to “grow” over five million years, while at the same time, up to 50 meters of marine mud settled on them. Shreve captured this scene during the dusk hour as the tide moved inward.
