Stack

These magazines, awaiting recycling, remind me of a geological formation; they're like a stack of sedimentary rocks eroded by the sea. Drawing them is good practice for when I'm out in the field again (we're at a family get-together at Pete - our nephew - and Lizzy's).

To use the same analogy this would be an igneous formation; the bottles of beer, their fizz kept in check, like magma in chambers under a volcano. The coat would be drift deposits masking the pool kept under pressure beneath.
