It can either be across the end of the path of the glacier (terminal) or along the course of it (lateral or medial) all of which can be further subdivided. mike - Email sent from www.ntlworld.com virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
Re: PESO -- Rock not Roll
The terminal moraine is the pile of junk, mostly sand and rock, left where a glacier stopped it's advance. The Connecticut shore is one of those places,. (so is/was Long Island), if I remember my geology correctly.

Now ~that~ might look cool taken with a fisheye (says the guy with a relatively new fisheye ). That comment is not intended to take anything away from the image as presented, however, which is a good photo. Nice composition of what could be a mundane object. The cleft, shadow and snow on the rock make it quite interesting to look at. Good capture when the light was right. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
