A nice example of plumose structure (fine-grained topographic variations that amount to "joint anatomy") on a joint face in sandstone, variably stained by iron oxide. The long vertical "tubes" are drill holes for the blasting of this road-cut. Vetch and mullein and other native West Virginia roadside vegetation may also be seen.
