A rare geological effect where limestone deposits have fallen into natural cracks in the cave floor to create this crazy paving effect
Geological formations in Watkins Glen State Park. Located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, these were formed by glacial movement during the last Ice Age.
Hierve Al Agua
Hierve el Agua (Spanish for "the water boils") is set of natural rock formations in the Mexican state of Oaxaca that resemble cascades of water. The site is located about 70 km east of Oaxaca city, past Mitla, in the municipality of San Lorenzo Albarradas, with a narrow, winding unpaved road leading to the site. The site consists of two rock shelves or cliffs which rise between fifty and ninety metres from the valley below, from which extend nearly white rock formations which look like waterfalls. These formations are created by fresh water springs, whose water is over-saturated with calcium carbonate and other minerals. As the water scurries over the cliffs, the excess minerals are deposited, much in the same manner that stalactites are formed in caves. One of the cliffs, called the "cascada chica" (small waterfall) or the Amphitheatre, contains two large artificial pools for swimming as well as a number of small natural pools. One of the artificial pools is very near the edge of the cliff.
I was fortunate enough to spend a week this summer with my aunt exploring the sights in South Dakota. We had a lovely time: great weather, company, and food!
These first 21 pictures were taken in The Badlands National Park. It was a gorgeous place filled with beautiful colors and stunning, vistas. I can't tell you the how much I loved this place. I would have spent the whole vacation there if I could have. It was truly spectacular.

Wild Bill Burrough told his gang he hid the money under an orange rock. The plan was to retrieve the cache just before Wild Bill got out of the hoosegow in five years. Slim figures they better start looking now!

Panorama of hikers, Sipapu Bridge, and landscape at Natural Bridges National Monument in Southeastern Utah.
The weather was strong - with days where the wind was over 30m/s but never the less the Icelandic beauty was on full display. These images are from a brief roadtrip along the South Coast.
All of these images are single exposure with basic edits - nothing added, nothing removed. The only use of AI is for moderate noise reduction.

An excellent aerial view of the Mendenhall Glacier which clearly shows the grav itational flow of the ice. Two small glaciers feed into the main one. Medial and lateral moraines are clearly seen.
This photo was taken in one of the amazing caves in Merapoh, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, Malaysia.
Merapoh has many wonderful caves that have wonderful natural formations.

While back in Prescott for an extended visit and catch up with my folks, I took some time to photograph around the nearby area including an overnight trip to the Grand Canyon and down to Phoenix. Photos are from that period.
Trent River is located about three kilometers south of Courtenay, BC on Vancouver Island. It is a great walk in August when the river is down and you can walk the river bed without getting your feet wet. The bank is made of marine shale. It is a magical place that is 80 million years old. It is has numerous crystal clear swimming holes and if you are a fossil hunter it is a great place to spend an afternoon banging rocks and looking for a treasure of years past.

The only way to see anything and to maneuver through the tunnel was to use my camera's flash, then take a few steps. Water pooled on the floor and small stalactites were forming everywhere. It was freezing cold.

I have no idea what that cloud-like shape is in the top right side of the picture.

About Yeh Liu
Yehliu is a cape on the north coast of Taiwan in the town of Wanli between Taipei and Keelung.
The cape, known by geologists as the Yehliu Promontory, forms part of the Taliao Miocene Formation. It stretches approximately 1,700 meters into the ocean and was formed as geological forces pushed Datun Mountain out of the sea.
A distinctive feature of the cape is the hoodoo stones that dot its surface. These shapes can be viewed at the Yeliu Geopark operated by the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area Administration. A number of rock formations have been given imaginative names based on their shapes. The most well-known is the "The Queen's Head", an iconic image in Taiwan and an unofficial emblem for the town of Wanli. Other formations include "The Fairy Shoe", "The Bee Hive", "The Ginger Rocks" and "The Sea Candles."
