This is a very impressive tall and thin sandstone formation in the middle of Kodachrome Basin. There are no other rocks around this one. It is amazing that this very tall and thin formation was stronger than all the rocks that weathered into sand around it. It is called the Chimney because of how it resembles a tall chimney.
the Cederberg Mountains, or Swartruggens , as this section is called here, close to the Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve you find extreme rock formations ...

These beautiful rock formations were seen at Tung Ping Chau island which is part of Hong Kong's UNESCO Global Geopark located by 90 minutes ferry ride from Ma Liu Shau ferry pier.
These are sedimentary rocks formed after the Jurassic era! Mujst visit this place if you are looking for day trip from city's hustle bustle and some beautful landscape shots with a paved hiking trail!
The county road goes through the formations. What has been post prior to this photo are on the west side of the road.

Monument Rocks and Castle Rock are an 8 Wonder of Kansas as a duo entry because of the scientifically significant fossils these ancient chalk beds have produced and because they have been highly eroded into unusual spires and shapes, making them spectacular landmarks on the plains of western Kansas!
On the western edge of Gove County is Monument Rocks, a series of large, heavily sculpted chalk monoliths that are sometimes referred to as the Chalk Pyramids. The site has been designated as a National Natural Landmark. In eastern Gove County is Castle Rock, a chalk spire that stands by itself in the valley of Hackberry Creek, though immediately south of Castle Rock is an extensive outcrop of chalk, capped by the younger Ogallala Formation.
The chalk was deposited during the Cretaceous Period of geologic history, about 80 million years ago, when the central interior of the U.S. was covered by a seaway. The several hundred feet deep water contained single-celled animals that drifted to the sea floor for eons, creating a mucky ooze. This material was perfect for trapping and preserving the remains of animals that lived in that ocean, such as fish, turtles, sharks, swimming reptiles called mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, swimming birds, gliding reptiles called pterosaurs, as well as invertebrate animals such as giant clams. Today the chalk beds routinely give up these fossils. Probably the best-known fossil from these beds is the famous "fish-within-a-fish" on display at the Sternberg Museum in Hays.
Both places are on private property but the landowners are amenable to visitors and no special permission is required. Please be respectful!
This picture of cloud formations was taken in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park on the "Road to Nowhere". The lake is Lake Fontana. Lake Fontana and the Road to Nowhere both have interesting histories that date back to World War 2.

Rock formation in Kodachrome. The park got its name from an expedition by National Geographic Society back in the late 1940s. The Nat Geo team photographed the park using Kodachrome film which was only made available commercially a year or two earlier. One could also argue that the park is named such because it's so colorful.
A funky rock formation: also known as the "Praying Hands of Mary", a glacial erratic schistose psammite/semi-pelite boulder left on an now-eroded pedestal rock, now split vertically.
This viewpoint makes the glacial origins of Glen Lyon quite apparent; as if the U-shape valley wasn't obvious enough, in the mid-distance morraine lends its characteristic mound form to Dubh Chnochan and on the slopes of the hill to the left. The vertical orientation of strata in the "Hands" fits with an anticline fold running along the axis into the scene.
Photographically, I'm pleased to have arranged the overlapping hills right in the cleft of the "hands", positioned directly on the upper-right third, the foreground rocks lazing around the bottom of the frame, all taken at 50mm. The mist in the distance outlining Dubh Chnochan and low clouds skiming the distance hills are a bonus.

I've been wanting to visit this spot for years, and finally found a day to do so. I had clear skies, so I was able to film some star trails. I also put a camera inside the columns looking outward to capture the Milky Way. I'll post that next, perhaps.

Robert H. Treman State Park is a state park located in Tompkins County, New York in the United States. The park is located along State Route 327, just west of State Routes 13, 34, and 96, situated in the Towns of Ithaca, Enfield and Newfield.
The park has numerous waterfalls along a rigorous 4.5-mile (7.2 km) round-trip hike. Like many of the state parks in the Finger Lakes region, the hiking trails follow a small creek (Enfield Creek, in this case), giving many views of the rock formations in the deep, narrow gorge (Enfield Glen). A natural swimming pool is located at the easternmost waterfall, "Lower Falls." A large (over 100 ft (30 m). high), multi-tiered cascading waterfall, "Lucifer Falls," is a short hike from the top (western) part of the park. The most spectacular view of Lucifer falls can be found along the gorge trail, although there are also overlooks along the rim trail. Finger Lakes Trail skirts the southern edge of the park.
Because of dangerous conditions created by snow and ice, most of the park's trails are inaccessible in the winter. Visitors can view Lower Falls year-round.
The park offers a pool, picnic tables, playing fields, hiking and camping. The Enfield Falls Mill and Miller's House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
"Lucifer Falls" is also the name of a town in the Disney made-for-TV movies, Mr. Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy.

At the end of April my wife and I flew to Colorado. We spent a day at the Colorado Monument. To learn more about our visit and see more photos, check out my blog post Colorado Monument Offers More Amazing Sights to See on my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
