I follow a lot of photographers on flickr. I enjoy following their creative work and their efforts inspire my travels. One downside though, if you like a picture too much, you are tempted to get a similar shot on your next visit to that place. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, just that sometimes creative juices flow better when you haven't seen pictures of that landscape before.
Alabama hills and it's arches are one of the most photographed in this area. So, I decided to stay clear of the arches and scouted the area during sunset. I really liked this location, Sun sets a little right of the frame igniting the rocks, but unfortunately the sky was bland. I returned later that night to find a single beautiful Lenticular Cloud. About half of the rock formations were well lit by the moon, I wasn't fully satisfied with the rocks in the back. I used a million candle power spot light to light paint the later half to 'even out' the lighting. IMO, this is a terrific location for sunset shots too if the sky has right clouds.
BTW, for the foodies among us, I wrote a blog here. My attempt at appealing to National Park, Photography and Food lovers ;)

My older brother prepares to get his guys in order before the skirmish at the Bermuda Hundred campaign reenactment.
An interesting example of rocks (perhaps sedimentary?) that have undergone compression and folding. If they are indeed sedimentary rocks, each layer would have been deposited horizontally, so over time they've been raised into the vertical as well as apparently undergoing compression and finer folding as well. Any geologists care to comment? The formation as seen is about 3m high.
Katy Pedley's explanation below details the interesting background to these rocks. I'm not sure whether they've survived the November 2016 earthquake that so badly affected Kaikoura.
These photos were taken whilst we were driving in Northern Spain. We weren't able to stop to take photos as we were on a motorway so taken from passenger window.....quite dramatic formations!

"Rauk" rock formations on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea.
The middle one is commonly nicknamed "the dog" or "the coffee pot"
The name Bullers of Buchan refers both to a collapsed sea cave and to the adjacent village, situated about 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Peterhead in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
This dramatic coastal walk passes the impressive ruins of Slains Castle, the inspiration for Dracula, and reaching the Bullers of Buchan, where there is a massive blow hole with several natural arches.
Located off the A975 just north of Cruden Bay and about 25 miles north of Aberdeen in northeast Scotland, the Bullers of Buchan is a collapsed sea cave forming an almost circular chasm (the "pot") some 30 metres (100 feet) deep, where the ocean rushes in through a natural archway.
The cliff scenery here is spectacular and seabirds of many species such as Puffins, Kittiwakes, Guillemots and Razorbills proliferate during the spring and summer, when wild flowers including campion, heather and orchids colour the cliff tops.
There is a car park from which a short road leads to a small group of cottages above the bay; a rough footpath leads northward in front of the cottages to the pot itself, some 100 metres along. For the energetic, the footpath continues along the coast through the Longhaven Wildlife Reserve towards Boddam. There is also a footpath leading south along the clifftop towards Slains Castle (another local attraction) and Cruden Bay.
THE FOOTPATHS ARE ROUGH, UNFENCED AND AT TIMES VERY CLOSE TO THE CLIFF EDGE. GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN AT ALL TIMES AND CHILDREN MUST BE CLOSELY SUPERVISED.
There are no tourist facilities at the Bullers; the nearest hotels, pubs and cafes may be found at Cruden Bay (which also boasts a very fine golf course). The nearest large town is Peterhead, 6 miles to the north.
Been July gloomy weather at the beach the last few days so i decided to go looking through the archives.

These unusual geological formations (about 30 feet or 10 m. high) were photographed on a remote island near Sitka, Alaska. They are probably volcanic basalt cores, and the storm waves have eroded away the softer material. As you can see the formations are above the high tide line.
There are three other photos in this series (see below). They are good examples of Intertidal zones (a.k.a. "littoral"). The tidal differential (between high and low tide) here can be very dramatic -- up to 16 feet in many areas around Sitka, and up to 22 feet in this area, which was about 25 miles south of Sitka.
Delighted to find themselves on the sand, the Pack stretch their legs.

F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 120th Fighter Squadron, Buckley Air Force Base, Col., soar over Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., prior to landing at the end of a Red Flag 14-1 training mission Feb. 4, 2014. Aircraft and service members deploy to Nellis AFB for Red Flag under the Air Expeditionary Force concept and make up the exercise's "blue" forces. By working together, these blue forces are able to use the diverse capabilities of their assets execute missions, such as air interdiction, combat search and rescue, close air support, dynamic targeting and defensive counter air.
