Not sure if this title is going to help or hurt me here, but the title is obvously not a description of the geological feature, this is the famous falls and hotel from the tv show Twin Peaks. I had two shots a warmer one and this one; not sure I went with the correct shot but it just looked more correct to me.
And as far as the challenge geology, this shows erosion or a fault; your choice.

First Impressions First impression is that this is more about the water and overall scene than the geology. Second aspect I notice is that the rock/geology closer to the fore is too dark to discern.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review A deeper depth of field may have produced more detail in the rock, especially at the fore. After reading your Photographer's Comments I see that you were aware that the main focus of the image was not the geology, although by default it is included. Even cropping the buildings out, whilst destroying the landscape scene, would still allow the geological formations to come into play more than they do with the composition and image as it is, in my opinion.
Comments, Score & Placement Review 25/82 with a score of 5.83 is a fair score and placement in a difficult Challenge. You awakened memories in many of your commenter's which was in your favor. One of your commenter's makes a good point.
Summary The crop and lighting on the rock formation isn't showcasing it strong enough for this particular Challenge. The main subject dominates more than the Challenge theme, but you produced a strong enough image of that to woo the voters anyway. I like the flow of the water and the flowers in the corner, but would like to have seen this showcase the "erosion or a fault" more.
