I just love this place there is something special about the sandstone. it is as white as the sand. I think you have figured out by now how attracted I am to it,
Well we made it to Devils Elbow the Eagles camp ground was further along we think, but instead of completing the loop which I think was about 8km we went a tad further and decided to turn around and go back the way we came, all up we probably did 8kms, it was getting late and we were slowing down every part of my legs and feet were killing me and I just wanted to get back to the beach and go for a swim. Lucky for us most of the way back was down hill it was walking in the sandy ash that was hard (we aren't super fit) and we whinge about our aches and pains all the way like a couple of 90 year old's, but at least we give it a crack and push each other.and we always feel good at the end of the day. Sorry these last few pics aren't up to par I will try to get some better ones another day.
a camel at Pasabag. There is even a natural formation that resembles a camel in Cappadocia, will post a pic of it later... :-)
View from the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive, a 10-mile-long paved road providing access to unpaved spur roads and to popular trailheads.
A hidden gem known for its stunning geological features and rich history, Capitol Reef was established in 1971 and covers nearly 242,000 acres. It is famous for the Waterpocket Fold, a nearly 100-mile warp in the Earth's crust. This unique geological feature creates a dramatic landscape of colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths.
The park is open year-round and home to a variety of wildlife, including mule deer, coyotes and over 200 species of birds. Evidence of human habitation in the area dates to 700 AD and the park preserves petroglyphs and other artifacts from that period. Numerous scenic drives and 200 miles of marked trails showcase the park’s breathtaking landscapes, and it is an International Dark Sky Park, making it an excellent location for stargazing.

Before I got my first digital camera I pinched my friends compact casio and we went out to Bundeena to watch the sunrise and go for a swim I snapped this gem as the sun was hitting the rocks but I didn't even know how to use a computer back then either and my editing efforts were pretty pathetic so I basically stuffed it and lost the original . I have tried to salvage it and had to run an oil paint filter over it but the colours are at least true to the original pic . it totally blew my mind the colours were simply stunning. I have no idea what type of rock it is .I didn't take much notice of the geology or info back then either
This rock feature like the previous one is located roughly midway between the Mala and Kuniya carparks.

I'm not a huge fan of black and white photography, but I thought I'd try a B&W conversion of a Grand canyon shot. I found I couldn't commit all the way to the gray scale, though. After adding a B&W layer in PhotoShop, I simply had to pull the opacity back to about 80 percent. It's as close as I can bring myself to true gray scale.
