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.

After days of staring at screens and chasing deadlines, I needed a reset. So, I grabbed my camera and made my way to the rocky beach, hoping the sunset would offer something worth capturing. As I set up my shot, the sky was already shifting—warm tones spilling over the water, the pier stretching out like a quiet path into the evening. The textured rocks in the foreground added depth, framing the scene just right. More than just a photo, this was a moment to breathe—to slow down and take in something real before heading back to the noise of work.
More than a year ago already I posted an imago of a romantic couple posing on the rim of the Charyn Canyon (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49239492492/in/datepo...), a wonderful spot in the far east of Kazakhstan (and the most eastern point that I ended up during this journey, ca 100 kilometer close to the border with China).
After that shot we walked down into the canyon, along a very rough but also scenic path. We ended in this lovely oasis where the river the Charyn has carved its way through the rock formations with all those intense red and purple rocks. And where water is, arid landscapes turn green.
If you want to sleep in this place, there is a campsite and cabins to stay for the night.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

All eight of the cygnets on the Bishop's Palace Moat came racing towards me this morning doing practice takeoffs. They need a bit more practice at the formation flying though!
Water has has shaped icicles into these bell-like formations at a nearby stream. 14.01.2018 Hindsby Sipoo, Finland.

As they catch the late afternoon light, the Wings seem to soar on the wind and blowing sand that cut through the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Lenticular clouds, altocumulous lenticularis, formed in high winds, where laminar flows of air rise over a mountain and the drop in temperature causes water vapor to condense in layered clouds. These clouds are fairly common in the Eastern Sierra, often forming into long, linear "Sierra wave" formations parallel to and a few miles east of the Sierra Nevada.
I saw these clouds forming from my porch, so I headed down to the Lake to capture them evolving in a time-lapse sequence.
Loved this high vantage point which was not easy to get to... the view looks like a vast sea of desert landscape with a few 'battleship' rock formations floating around. The bottom left formation especially looks similar to the 'ghostship' at Mono lake.
During the 5 days I spent on this lovely Scottish island, the tide was low for both Sunrise and Sunset. It meant lots of stones, black rocks and green algea surfaced and made it difficult to get near the water to shoot. But here I liked the rock formation and specially all the smooth and colourful pebbles on the beach.
