Not bad about the Gniess. However, geologically speaking, Granite is Igneous, Gneiss is Metamorphic. So when the Granite oozed into the Gneiss, the Gneiss was probably either Sedimentary (Shale or Slate) or more than likely an Igneous rock already in position (either a Granite or a basalt, probably a Granite)
So, geologically speaking you probably saw a Granite intrusion into a fractured Granite bed, which would "melt" the Fractured Granite into a Gneiss.
Geology lesson over. (Unless someone has a better explanation)
And to get better pictures in a High Desert Situation with a lot of sun glare (very common in the winter when the sun is low) you can use a polarizing filter. or if you are cheap, try using a lens from your sunglasses to shoot thru.
But I'll leave the photo discussion to JohnJ and Chippie.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
