Shaped by water for thousands of years Kannesteinen Rock has become a facinating sculpture. The 3 meter high rock is located on the west coast of Norway (Oppedal outside Måløy)
Artwork by nature. At low tide (as pictured), it almost seems like you could walk up to the tunnel and look inside ... but then a wave comes crashing through!
I once had an idea of having Blanca sit in front of the arch so I could frame her in it. Ha!!! She is far too smart to sit with her back towards the ocean!! She wasn't having any of it! Silly of me to ask her to do that!
Went to Lyme Regis in West Dorset to try and see the Purple Sandpipers that normally hang around the Cobb Harbour area this time of the year but no sightings for me today.

Interesting things about this Scottish Castle.....
The legendary wizard, Merlin, whose fame lies in the legends of King Arthur, is said to have visited Dumbarton Castle during the 6th century. But it wasn't exactly King Arthurs' Merlin that was here, but his real-life counterpart - Myrddin Wyllt who lived between 540 and 584AD.
This Scottish castle was an important royal refuge and is said to have been the hiding place for the young Mary Queen of Scots, before she fled to France at the age of 5.
William Wallace may have been held prisoner here
The Dumbarton Rock itself is legally protected by the Scottish Government and is a recognized Ancient Monument
This may be the longest-standing military stronghold in the UK, as the first fortress may have been there at the time the Romans left Britain (approx. 367 AD), and as recently as World War II it was still home to a military base.

The massive rock formation in the picture is "Ship Rock", which forms the south "wall" of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. There are 70 tiered seating rows to the top, and for some reason I decided to walk each row rather than climb the stairs outright. In 90+ degrees heat at mid-day sun, and an elevation of 6450 feet (1965m), it was quite a slog (I passed by 9525 "seats" in the walk).
Red Rocks Amphitheathre is an outdoor entertainment venue that was provided by Mother Nature, and has been used since 1906. The modern configuration of the venue was constructed under the ownership of the City of Denver, from 1936 to 1942.
Because of the unique setting, and great acoustics provided by three naturally-formed 300-foot rocks (Ship Rock, Stage Rock, and Creation Rock), many TV performances, movies and recordings have been made at Red Rocks.
Nearly every major recording artist has performed at Red Rocks since the 1960's Beatles show. Stage bills, posters and signed memorabilia are on display at the onsite Colorado Music Hall of Fame. I named only a few of the groups (ones that I liked) in the "Tags".
This was one of those will it, wont it sunsets. There was a bank of cloud that wasn't supposed to be there according to the apps, but it cleared just in time for sunset thankfully.
Great to be out with my good friend Oli and met up with another local tog who was out for the first time after 6 weeks recovering from a hip replacement operation. It was safe to say that at 78 yrs old with a new hip he went nowhere near the slippy rocks but still got some great shots from angles I've never seen before.

Arches National Park is known for it's arches, but there's amazing views in almost every direction.
This was taken just after sunset, June 2016.
Summer evenings at Smith Rock can often produce idyllic images like this reflection in the calm curve of Crooked River.
Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend! Thank you for visiting!
The rock is composed of a mineral called Arkose. Granite like with Feldspar. The iron in Feldspar reacts with oxygen in the air to give us the orange-red colour. Newly broken bits will be grey to white in colour.
