Metamorphic aureole at the other Wasdale

 

This picture shows a rock formation with the ruined Wasdale Farm near Shap. The hill behind is the site of the Shap Red Quarry, so is the location of the Shap Granite intrusion. Just a few hundred metres away, the rock is very different. The picture below shows layers, so I had come out into the metamorphic aureole where the heat had baked the existing country rock.
