A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.
The map location may not be accurate.

This was taken at Old Harbor in Block Island. Block Island is off the coast of Rhode Island and is a popular summer vacation spot for New Englanders. I got up early for sunrise, put my equipment in the basket of my bike are rode to the shore. The sunrise was a bust so I decided to look for other interesting spots to photograph.

"Football is two things. It's blocking and tackling. I don't care about formations or new offenses or tricks on defense. You block and tackle better than the team you're playing, you win.”
-Vince Lombardi
That Lombardi quote came to mind when I was working on this image, created from a TV screen shot of a football game that I was watching that was played in a snowstorm on Saturday. The shot shows Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III (number 9) in the grasp of a Penn State defender, as his teammates attempt to block for him. Walker was carrying the ball, though you can't see it here.
Just for fun, I grabbed a few shots of the screen during the game, and have dressed this one up with a painterly look for Sliders Sunday. I'm also submitting it for the Our Daily Challenge "Begins with F" theme (football).

Indian Chameleon (Chameleo zeylanicus) on a granite block.
The first thing that struck me was that this guy looks like a 'mosaic' of tiny colored pebbles - hence the caption : )
The Year has just started and the tiny little Helpers are again back to work. He is trying to get this blocked contactblock back in postion.

I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.
The old stable block at Ightham Mote viewed from the tower on the manor house. It was converted into holiday let cottages which are currently being renovated. There is a small display of old photographs in the main entrance.
Four GEs of different types lead westbound grain train G017-04 past the venerable block signals at Cooke Road. Gotta love the staggered heads and original GRS relay bases: two more examples of old NYC hardware on the north side of Columbus.

1968 Camaro. The 454 had to be an engine swap, I believe the largest big block motor available on the sixty eight's was the 396ci
Has this ever happened to you? I was all set to catch a nice view of the "City of Derailment" passenger train, pulling into Salt Lake City on the double track main. Unbeknownst to me, a ZLBDV intermodal was also on the approach, about about 10 cars ahead of the passenger train, blocking the view. I quickly repositioned myself in a desperate attempt to grab a photo as UP 4533's nose migrated into a patch of sun. See if you can spot the Rio Tinto copper mine . . .
