While walking this morning, we were presented with this magnificent vista of God's Fingers. Rosey just happened to be pointing when I snapped this picture of her.
The most famous of all the rock formations in the National Park.
Location: Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

.. or crepuscular rays, to be less religious!
We’ve all seen crepuscular rays, or sunrays, converging on the sun. They appear as pillars of sunlight, all converging at a single point, streaming up from the horizon or down through gaps in clouds. Next time you see them … turn around - If you look opposite the direction of the sun, you might catch a glimpse of elusive anticrepuscular rays (not that I've seen them at all!).
Oh, and bottom right, a small golden dog … yep she had to photobomb this shot! 😁
God, in His infinite wisdom, gave us the gift of sight and feelings. As Rosey and I walked, this scene presented itself, as only God could provide!!
This man was doing his morning exercise. It looks as though he is speeding away from God's Fingers, they having given him strength!!!!
Serra dos Órgãos National Park.
The most famous of all formation in the park.
Serra dos Órgãos was created in 1939 as the third National Park in Brazil. The objective was to protect the native forest on the hillsides and the fresh water springs abundant in the region.

My personal fave from this little shoot and a affirmation of my love for the 10-20mm Sigma. This should be on the list of places to see before you die. We have some awesome sunsets in Pembrokeshire and this location is IMHO one of the very best with it's stunning views to St Davids Hd in the west, to the open expanse of the Irish sea looking north west.

52 Weeks of Pix, Week Four: Shadows
I took a similar picture a week or so back....this is a view from home and these rays at sunrise are something I have been trying to capture well on recent mornings - with mixed results. Posting this morning's efforts for my 52 weeks themed project group "shadows" theme.
The rays are falling on the Pacific, just off the East coast of New Zealand's South Island.
The Roque Cinchado rock formation in Teide National Park on the island of Tenerife. You can clearly see the different layers of volcanic rock. Translated as 'Stone Tree', it is also sometimes known as 'God's Finger'.
a shot from a friend of mine, see previous image too... and you'll can find where we are

Taken early morning in Dita, Cuenca, Batangas, Philippines. Heavy ground mist. I never tire of these magical scenes, another example of the wonderful creation of God.

On the 11th hour 11th day of the 11th month it seemed appropriate to add this image of Tyne Cot Cemetary near Ypres Belgium.
El Dedo de Dios (God's finger) was a sea stack in the Atlantic Ocean near Agaete in the northern part of Gran Canaria. During tropical storm Delta in November 2005, "God's finger", the thin top of the rocky monument, broke off and fell into the sea.
So this has become unfortunately a historical picture.
My geography let me down, and I had it incorrectly named as North Berwick Law. Thank you to Bellhaven2011 for the correction. Law is a Scottish name for a hill. This one stands south of North Berwick.I took this at the same time and place as my 'Bridge To Nowhere' . It pays dividends to keep looking around you. Behind me were these clouds racing towards the sea with a break in them that was going to light up the Law. A quick spin around, the 10 stop filter removed, and I just caught it. Composition of this has been agonising and I may well post a wider version of this cropped one. But to me this is about the Law and its light. Thanks for looking, please leave a comment if you wish. I always appreciate feedback, bad or good!
My wife, Rosey, posed for me in God's Fingers. I never tire from taking these magnificent pics. Ibabao, Cuenca, Batangas, Philippines.

Agaete (Gran Canaria). Dedo de Dios. Símbolo agaeteño y gran canario.
Cogí a Montse desprevenida y en cuestión de segundos le hice mirar la LCD de mi cámara "¡¡ Mira Montse, han reconstruído el Dedo de Dios, mira !!!"
Su cara, igual que las de mi hermano y otros canari@s a quienes les hice lo mismo, era de auténtica espectación, se lo creyeron. ¡ Pobrecitos, qué malvada fui esta vez ! Menos mal que son buena gente y no me tienen en cuenta mis niñerías ...
La primera vez que lo ví, en marzo de 1992, sin saber cómo se llamaba dije "parece una mano que esté apuntando al cielo, a Dios ... es tan grande ... realmente parece que fuera la mano de Dios emergiendo de la mar ". Entonces, mis hermanos me dijeron que se llamaba "Roque Partido" pero que un escritor le cambió el nombre por "Dedo de Dios" y con él se quedó pues realmente lo parecía.
En noviembre de 2005, la tormenta "Delta", con vientos de más 130 km./hora, quebró el "Dedo índice" de esa rocosa mano y nunca se recuperó. Cuando me enteré, me dolió casi como si hubiera sido mío.
En este viaje, Montse me llevó a Agaete y se ve que yo aún iba buscando el Dedo de Dios porque lo encontré.
Sólo es una ilusión óptica, un ángulo concreto en el que me puse y aprovechando la fisura en la montaña, hice encajar el dedo que faltaba (aunque el anterior fuera algo más alto).
Sólo se ve desde ese ángulo. Desde ningún otro. Pero aunque sea una ilusión, lo cierto es que levanta el ánimo al verlo así.
Abajo os dejo la vista del Dedo de Dios vista desde otro ángulo y desde el que apreciaréis perfectamente la fisura que "encajé" porque, en ocasiones, de ilusión también se vive.

Remembrance Day -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war; this was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.
The Service of Remembrance in many Commonwealth countries generally includes the sounding of "Last Post," followed by the two minutes of silence, followed by the sounding of "Reveille" (or, more commonly, "The Rouse"), and finished by a recitation of the "Ode of Remembrance." The "Flowers of the Forest", "O Valiant Hearts", "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and "Jerusalem" are often played during the service. Services also include wreaths laid to honour the fallen, a blessing, and national anthems.
Australia - In Australia Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November, although the day is not a public holiday. Services are held at 11am at war memorials and schools in suburbs and towns across the country, at which "Last Post" is sounded by a bugler and a one-minute silence is observed. In recent decades, however, Remembrance Day has been partly eclipsed by ANZAC Day (25 April) as the national day of war commemoration.
I will add here I had planned to keep this picture for next April, and as it was Remembrance Day today decided to post. "ANZAC" stand for Australian And New Zealand Army Corps and was formed when the two nations went to battle in the First World War and they have lived on in each succeeding engagement or war. Thanks for viewing, and remembering, whether you are Australian or from another country, we always respect and remember our fallen heroes!!!!!
Rosey and I were spellbound by God's Fingers as we walked our morning round today. As we walked we came upon thise scene, people absorbed in their everyday life. Some shopping at a little roadside stall, others gossipping, children off to school. The list goes on ...
Out on Monday morning, when the sunrise looked really promising when I left home.
However, the cloud moved in and obscured the sunrise completely for ages. Scouted around a bit, and eventually saw the light breaking through but only in the distance. Time to break out the longer focal lengths!!

This was the scene behind me as I photographed the rainbow yesterday morning (see below). Not the best example of crepuscular rays, but the best I have managed so far.
I love the fact that standing on the same spot and simply turning 180 degrees reveals two such dramatically different skies.
