Zippy again should be thanked for chasing these two towards me. Mallards are some of my favourite birds, so beautiful and so friendly. Zippy just sees them as food............
Painted Desert, part of Petrified Forest National Park.
A basalt cap overlays the Bidahochi formation above the Chinle formation. An estimated 305 meter layer appears to have been eroded away between the two formations.
This spectacular rock outcrop is located roughly 40 kilometres southeast of Streaky Bay in South Australia. It is a fine example of a geological formation know as an inselberg, or steep-sided rock that rises abruptly from a surrounding plain. Other Australian inselbergs include Uluru and Kata Tjuta as well as Wave Rock near Hyden in Western Australia (see my image No.0480).
Murphyās Haystacks are made up of pink granite originally laid down some 1.5 billion years ago deep beneath the earthās surface. Over time erosion removed the softer surface layers, exposing the granite outcrop which was then weathered and sculpted into its present form somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago.
Local legend has it that the outcrop acquired its name in the 19th century when a traveller, viewing the formations from a distance, mistook them for haystacks and commented on the farmerās extraordinary ability to produce such large stacks of hay. Since the land was owned at the time by a Mr. Murphy, the rocks became known as Murphyās Haystacks.
For a contrasting view of the Haystacks shot from a different vantage point, see my image No.0188

Taken from Jupps View at Pulborough Brooks RSPB. Following the flooding the water was barely 6 feet from the viewing platform. The view across the reserve resembled an inland sea.
Un cadeau de notre chauffeur lors de notre excursion dans le sud tunisien. Comme nous ne sommes que deux, il nous amĆØne voir des formations de sable sculptĆ©s par la pluie et le vent.
The Cumberland Gap includes this gem, the Gap Cave. Many may know it by its older name Cudjo's Caverns. It was once Gap cave but was chanced to Cudjo's Caverns after a popular book came out that features a cave called Cudjos. The owners tried to capitalize on the popularity by changing the name. When the NPS took over the site they changed it back. It hard to believe the cave looks as good as it does inside when you learn the past. Loads of tourists through here at a time when preservation was not understood, and they held parties and even plays down there!
This is one of the larger features in the cave. It was a pain to shoot because you were on a tour, so you can't stop, there is no lighting, only these massive bright flashlights that EVERYONE has, and the tour guide is always in the way. Oh, and no tripods allowed. So this is the result of several images to exclude beams of light and hot spots, and people. Oh, and thank goodness for the new lightroom denoise feature. This was 10,000 ISO for goodness sake. Came out pretty good considering all that nonsense.
Let me know what you think.
AmƩlie-les-Bains-Palalda, Vallespir, Occitanie, France.
AmĆ©lie-les-Bains-Palalda es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Pirineos Orientales y la regiĆ³n de Occitania, en la comarca del Vallespir. TenĆa 3.683 habitantes en 2007.
Administrativamente, pertenece al distrito de CĆ©ret, al cantĆ³n de Arles-sur-Tech y a la CommunautĆ© de communes du Haut Vallespir.
La comuna se localiza en el valle del Tech, en el corazĆ³n del Vallespir, al oeste de CĆ©ret. Puede accederse a ella por la carretera departamental 115. Antes de ser desmantelada en el siglo XX, tambiĆ©n contaba con servicios de ferrocarril. EstĆ” prevista una vĆa verde que siga el recorrido de la antigua vĆa fĆ©rrea (hasta Arles-sur-Tech).
En realidad, AmĆ©lie-les-Bains-Palalda se compone de tres municipios antaƱo separados: AmĆ©lie, Palalda (anexado en 1942) y Montalba (anexado en 1962). Por ello, el paisaje comunal es bastante variado. La mayorĆa de la poblaciĆ³n se concentra a orillas del Tech. Cabe destacar la formaciĆ³n geolĆ³gica de las las gargantas del Mondony.
AmƩlie-les-Bains-Palalda is a French commune and town located in the PyrƩnƩes-Orientales department and the Occitania region, in the Vallespir region. It had 3,683 inhabitants in 2007.
Administratively, it belongs to the CƩret district, the canton of Arles-sur-Tech and the CommunautƩ de communes du Haut Vallespir.
The commune is located in the Tech Valley, in the heart of the Vallespir, west of CĆ©ret. It can be accessed by departmental highway 115. Before being dismantled in the 20th century, it also had railway services. A greenway is planned to follow the route of the old railway (up to Arles-sur-Tech).
In reality, AmƩlie-les-Bains-Palalda is made up of three once separate municipalities: AmƩlie, Palalda (annexed in 1942) and Montalba (annexed in 1962). For this reason, the communal landscape is quite varied. Most of the population is concentrated on the banks of the Tech. It is worth noting the geological formation of the Mondony gorges.
Blackchurch Rock lies on the North Coast of Devon and this impressive Stack is a Photographers playground, I visited back in March and will return in the coming weeks to see if I can get another shot or two.
Blackchurch is part of the Crackington Formation, an Upper Carboniferous formation of sandstone and dark mudstones and shale, an arch sea stack composed of layers of sandstone and shale tilted at about 60 degrees.
These large folds were formed during a mountain building event about 290 million years ago, called the Variscan Orogeny. The rocks were dated by cephalopod fossils called goniatites, an interesting place for sure :)

Bryce Canyon National Park is located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon is a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks.

The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, near the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg.
This is an HDR shot of the north-westernmost aspect of the monastery of Holy Trinity (Meteora, Greece) before sunset. The monastery was built in 1362 AD or earlier at a height of 1,755 feet (535 m), close to the top of the rock formation bearing the same name. One can use the 149 steps carved in the rock in 1925 to ascend to the monastery.
Holy Trinity is one of the many impressive and lofty rock formations whose group is collectively called Meteora: The sandstone megaliths' height varies 1,000ā1,800 ft (300ā550 m). The rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.

Last night we ventured out to an outing from our past... dinner in a restaurant!! We managed to catch a glimpse of the last light of day along the Georgian Bay shoreline as dark snow clouds moved in.
