Geologist marking bedding planes on Mizoram outcrop

Rain-slicked stone dominates the foreground, its dark grey surface glistening under the heavy twilight sky. A geologist kneels beside the outcrop, their gloved hand holding a piece of white chalk against the wet rock face. Pale white lines trace the bedding planes, standing out sharply against the saturated, moisture-heavy stone. Water droplets rest on the rock texture, reflecting the dull grey light from a nearby puddle or stream. The background dissolves into a soft blur of green foliage and indistinct shapes, showing the focused action. Rain creates a fine mist in the air, softening the edges of the distant trees while keeping the chalk marks crisp and deliberate.
