Actually Jamaica Beach is a shore of Lake Garda, but the low water level showed bizzare rock formations.
Lake Garda, Italy.

The Grandstand is an amazing rock formation that rises about a hundred feet above the northwest end of the Racetrack Playa. Processed with the Georgia O'Keefe filter in Topaz Impressions.
Happy Textural Tuesday!

This is another photo from my walk the other day along the McKenzie River where the Canadian Geese were floating through the lovely reflections.
During the winter, the edge of our city's Lake Michigan lakeshore often changes dramatically due to the ice formations that build up and it often extends quite far out from shore.
Ice formations happen primarily due to extended periods of freezing temperatures, which continually freeze portions of the waves that hit the shore. Depending on the direction and force of the wind, 10 to 20 feet of iceberg-like formations can form within a few days.
To capture the scene above I'm standing on a formation that extends about 60 feet into the lake. I turned around and snapped this shot, and you can see the land and trees in the background.
The apparent 'river' you see here is really no river at all, but is a large break between ice formations that have frozen solid.
I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.

A pretty strong jet stream aloft passing over the mountains were likely factors in the production of this unique cloud formation this afternoon.
Over Ballycotton, Co Cork 31/07/25. Photo taken from DC-3 N431HM. If you look closely at the nose you can see the reflection of the DC3.
Built 1952 and taken on Strength/Charge with the Royal Canadian Air Force with s/n 2344. Next registration was N223CM and has kept this registration with numerous owners.
Another one of the rock formations at Widemouth Bay.
I know very little about geology but have read online that these are Silesian, mostly from the Bude Formation and date back to the Carboniferous period, more than 300 million years old. They were formed in a giant tropical lake (Bude Lake) that folded when Britain and France collided.
