Huanghua formation is a garden modeled on a European maze. the phalanx of the Huang-Hua was a rectangle with gates on the four sides. At the center of the formation was an octagonal European Pavilion sitting on a high round foundation, meaning the sky was round and the earth was square. The phalanx was about 89 meters long from south to north and about 59 meters wide from east to west. The phalanx wall was over 1,600 meters long and about 1.2 meters high. As the wall was paneled with grey brick tiles carrying shaped carvings, the phalanx was also called the wan hua formation (formation of yellow flowers). Historic records indicate that on the evening of the moon festival each year in its heydays, the emperor would hold a lantern evening.
There are two records about the build time of the Huanghua formation in the 12th year of Qianlong (1747) and the 21st year of Qianlong (1756), but there is no definite evidence for either. (From: www.yuanmingyuanpark.cn/ymyyj/yj040/201612/t20161230_4171...)

Some fantastic rock formations at Widemouth bay in North Cornwall. This is pretty much just as you would see them in real life (if it were raining!)

Badlands Formations” — A pattern of badlands ridges and gullies in early morning light, Death Valley.
I don’t always photograph at Zabriskie Point — in fact, it was sort of an accident that I ended up there this February. But when I do stop I am always intrigued by the nearly limitless opportunities of photograph small detail views of the nearby badlands terrain. There are two times of day when I like to photograph this subject. In the harsh midday light, the shadows can produce strong contrasts between the bright and dark elements. But in the early morning light softens the features, fills in the shadows, and sometimes introduces the reflected colors of the sky.
I was there, of course, very early — at least a half hour before sunrise, as the sky is just beginning to be light. I wasn’t going to stop, but I thought I saw clouds that could produce sunrise color. So I abandoned my previous plans and stopped here. As the morning sun came to features to the west — the Valley and the Panamint Range — the soft light remained on these features below the overlook.

A flock of Lesser Snow Geese flying in formation. This was taken last spring but I'm hoping to get over to the Fraser Valley again within the next week or so (weather permitting) to see them again in their annual migration.
Chicago Airshow 2021. This edition of the series was abbreviated to just this one performance team due to pandemic restrictions, but still, huge crowds gathered along the lakefront to see and hear the action.

One of the last shots of the day when I hit the coast in Snowdonia with Lee Acaster a few weeks ago.
I thought these rock formations at Birnbeck Pier acted as nice lead in lines for this image. Captured just minutes after sundown when the beautiful pink glow was beginning to show.

These planes were seen flying in precise formation over Lake Balboa, Van Nuys CA. I believe these are WWII planes - perhaps the North American AT-6 Texan. Not a plane expert - just tried looking up on the web. So, please correct. I would be interested to know the correct ID.

Dark castles, dark forts, dark citadels… however you translate the word Dimmuborgir, it should give you some idea of the mangled forms that lie within. Twisted towers of coagulated rock breach the earth’s surface to form a lava field full of giant pillars, chimneys and tubes to scramble across. These dramatic structures never fail to impress and are one of Iceland’s most popular tourist destinations.
Geology
Quite literally like the icing squirted on the geological cake of Lake Mývatn, these rock formations are completely unique. The only other similar land mass known to exist being beneath the sea, off the coast of Mexico. They are thought to be the remains of a lava reservoir which formed above a lake. As it began to cool, the reservoir was released, leaving only the bizarrely shaped remnants you see today.

These brown pelicans typically fly up and down the dunes on the Texas coast in a formatiion, usually abreast but in a diagonal, like these. Usually their formation is a bit neater, but not many were out there during this visit.
