1) Part of the world: Stromatolites-bearing folded layered structures of old age (mo than 3.5 Ma) with river and forest.
2) Time of image acquired: Daytime mainly (to see whole area).
3) Reason of interesting scene: Stromatolites are relict rocks of fossil on Earth. Images of Planet exploration by TV camera are compared with such folded structure as evidence of fossil life on the planets estimated for water fluids (on surface, interior or past ages).

The image is of the entrance to northern Australia’s Nitmiluk National Park (formerly Katherine Gorge National Park). North is to the top of the photo, which is roughly 13 km (8 miles) wide. The Katherine River forms a gorge, flowing from east to west through joints in the Kombolgie Formation (sandstone and conglomerate) of the Arnhem Land Plateau. When it passes through the escarpment it enters the Seventeen Mile Valley and bends southward around the western hills, then runs southwestward for another 90 km (60 miles) to its confluence with the Daly River. The indigenous Jawoyn people are custodians of the national park, which is jointly managed by the Parks and Wildlife Service of Australia’s Northern Territory. The town of Katherine is roughly 20 km (12 miles) downstream from the intersection of the river with the bottom of the photo. The road winding up from the center bottom of the photo is the Gorge Road, which terminates at the park’s visitor center.

Seem a periclinal closures with much erosion, but i think that is a batolite with fluid lines and erosioned diaclases. Sierra Nevada, Unide States.

Pre-Cambrian Basement, road and air strip, looks semi arid. Very little shadow, near equator. Probably northwestern interior, Australia…
