The most famous site at the geological park in Yeh Liu, Taipei,Taiwan.
"In spite of its popularity, the park is facing one dilemma—preserving natural wonders. Queen’s Head, a giant rock subjected to differential erosion caused by sea water, is the most popular and photographed site in Yehliu Geopark. Exposure all year round to the onslaught of wind, sun and rain has caused the neck of the Queen’s Head to become thinner. It is estimated that the neck will break within five to 10 years".

Beautiful artistic creations of nature formed by alternating low tide and high tide. Seaweed on the rocky sea floor is being pushed up in frosty weather by the movements of the tides.

This rock from Minnesota, formed of alternating bands of iron oxide and silica, formed about 2.2 billion years ago. Most of the world's banded iron formations (and the pricipal ore for mining iron) are between 2.7 and 1.8 billion years old.
The striking geological formation of The Nut in Stanley rises from Bass Strait and towers over the historic town in North-West Tasmania.
This iconic Tasmanian site is the core of a long-extinct volcano and its significance is protected as part of The Nut State Reserve. It is an integral part of the life and landscape of Stanley, and offers outstanding views over the town, across Bass Strait and towards Rocky Cape National Park.
This picturesque reserve is one of Stanley’s key attractions and is the ideal place for scenic viewing, walking, picnicking and nature study. Take the walking track to the summit of The Nut or hop aboard the chairlift and enjoy the panoramic views. Atop the summit, explore the plateau on foot via the scenic circuit walk.
The Nut State Reserve protects a nationally endangered straw daisy and provides an important breeding site for short-tailed shearwaters, peregrine falcons, Australian kestrels and little penguins. It also protects significant Tasmanian Aboriginal and historic sites, which are of deep significance to the Aboriginal community, both present and past.
The area known as The Nut was called Circular Head by British explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders in 1798. There is much speculation about the origins of the snappier nomenclature, The Nut. Some say it is a shortened version of its Aboriginal name, Moo-Nut-Re-Ker. Others say the side of the massif was “a hard nut to crack” when it refused to yield to explosives during construction of a breakwater. Regardless, it is an integral part of the life and landscape of Stanley, the historic town lying at its foot.
The Nut stands at 143 metres and the summit can be reached by walking track or chairlift.

The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known to all the world as the “Thunderbirds”, are the Air Force’s Ambassadors in Blue. They represent the 500,000 men and women of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft. The Thunderbirds squadron is composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel.
The Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the two solo aircraft highlight some of the extreme capabilities of the F-16. In all, the pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a single demonstration. An aerial demonstration lasts 60 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for the ground show before takeoff.
During a typical season the Thunderbirds perform no more than 70 air demonstrations in 35 cities throughout the nation. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets.
Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Arizona. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet. The team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak in 1955. In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis AFB in Nevada and traded the veteran F-84 for the world’s first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre. In early 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but after only six shows returned to the F-100. In 1969 the team transitioned to the F-4E Phantom and then in 1974 to the T-38 Talon, a more fuel efficient jet. In 1983 the Thunderbirds began flying the
F-16 and continue to do so. - Was a huge thrill on a magnificent day!

Leaving Vancouver in formation, heading all the way back to Ottawa in 2 days.
This is part of a huge collection of pictures I took during a flying school trip From Ottawa, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia this past summer. A great learning opportunity for us new private pilots and instructors to fly to all these cool locations along the way and back. We took 3 Cessna 172s and one Beechcraft Duchess.
