Cavusin, Cappadocia, Turkey.
Cappadoccia is famous for its tuffa rocks erosion and formations. In the valley near Cavusin there are small plots of pumpkins and hiking trails. But what caught my attention was this slope: protruding chimneys and vegetation barely clinging to the eroded rubble.

A wall of sand along the shore in Grand Mere State Park. High water levels have led to the erosion of the grass-covered dunes.
Black stones of volcanic origin can be found on the beautiful beaches and along the road next to the Faro del Tostón lighthouse.

It is amazing how often you come across eroded rock that looks like a face. This feature was just behind Cullen Golf Course as we walked towards Portnockie. I thought this was really impressive.
While walking the Rim Trail with a view looking to the west-northwest and taking in a setting of hoodoos and other eroded formations present in this part of Bryce Canyon National Park.
This picture is from the Gondwana Canyon Park. This was established in 1996 as a private nature reserve. The landscape is dominated by plateau mountains and the plains are interrupted by granite hills and dolerite veins. The granite is subject to wool-sack weathering, making the rocks spherical.
Dieses Bild stammt aus dem Gondwana Canyon Park. Dieser wurde 1996 als privates Naturschutzgebiet gegründet. Die Landschaft wird dominiert von Plateaubergen und die Ebenen werden von Granithügeln und Doleritgängen unterbrochen. Der Granit unterliegt der Wollsackverwitterung, sodass die Felsen kugelig werden.
Once exposed / erosion begins. // The fatal outcome / for the artist / is inevitable.

Here is a wider view of Old Bill's Monument in the setting sun. The vegetation here is wild and gnarled from the extremes of climatic conditions. In the winter it is purely alpine, but being around 5,000 feet (even at 41 degrees south Latitude) it can endure hot and dry conditions in summer. This picture actually gives you a feel for those drier conditions since there was no snow on this winter's day.
Every rock you see in the foreground once broke away and fell from the mountain top. That prompted my title, because the fact of entropy means that time really does erode all things. That is what a living planet is, a dying one also. It's an unavoidable condition of existence. And we cannot escape it. So use your time wisely while you can.

View of eroded rocks that can be seen from the nearby Peracense castle, Teruel province, Aragon region, Spain.
In the background you can see the hill of San Ginés, which in addition to having several communications antennas has a hermitage in ruins: The hermitage of San Ginés.
The moon can be seen over the highest antenna on that hill.
PEÑAS EROSIONADAS, TERUEL, ESPAÑA, 2019
(De mis propias fotos digitales archivadas, año 2019) Procesada en HDR de tres fotos.
Vista de peñas erosionadas que se pueden observar desde el muy cercano castillo de Peracense, provincia de Teruel, región de Aragón, España.
Al fondo se puede ver la colina de San Ginés que además de tener varias antenas de comunicaciones tiene una ermita en ruinas: La ermita de San Ginés.
La luna se puede adivinar sobre la antena más alta de esa colina.
Don't ask me how a flippin' great chunk of brick wall ended up in the middle of the beach 'cos I have no idea! However it got there, it made for some decent foreground interest.
This eroded volcanic hillside is on the southeast side of Deception Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.
Here's a link to my Death Valley Video:
Thanks for viewing.
My niece told me geography and erosion were boring so she had a sleep on the beach while I spent an hour on 100 metres of eroded coast, youth eh.
Carnarvon Gorge is situated on an eastern spur of Australia’s Great Dividing Range about nine hours drive northwest of Brisbane. Over the last 25 million years a number of rivers and streams, including Carnarvon Creek, have seeped through cracks in the region’s basalt cap and eroded the underlying sandstone to form the main gorge some 30 kilometres in length. The image here is of the palm-lined entry to the Amphitheatre, a spectacular side gorge cut into the bluff along the southwest flank of Carnarvon Creek.
For additional photos of (and information about) the Amphitheatre, see my images 0499 and 0500.
