From last weekends trip to Valley of The Moon in Jacumba California, this gem of a valley is located right on the Mexico/ San Diego County border. You can tell where the border is(not in the shot but close by) by the triple line barb wire fence is, Hint it's laying flat on the ground. Reviewing this photo on my devices one shows a purple cast to the sky, my other 2 show it fine.
Rock ptarmigan, Lagopus muta, kiiruna, Finland.
In Finland rock ptarmigans are found only in the highlands of Lapland. They live above the tree line year round and use plants and berries for food. In winter they take cover in the snow and can stay there most of the day. Quite tough birds, I would say.
Isolated from other walls and buttes working to become isolated pillars, Standing Rock is a well known feature of Monument Basin in Canyonlands, often seen and photographed from Grandview Point on Island in the Sky 2000’ / 600 m above. The north-facing slopes still hold snow from a significant storm 3 days prior to when this photo was taken.
Standing Rock was first climbed in 1962 by Layton Kor and colleagues, because as they put it “it won’t always be there.” They described the Organ Rock shale that the pillar is made of as "layers of rye-krisp sandwiched between layers of kitty litter." As you might guess few people have been on the summit of this 300’ / 90 m tower.
I had visited this area a year ago, managing to get a flat tire and lacking the appropriate lug nuts for the spare… that saga is best forgotten ;-). This year’s trip was successful in that I managed to drive the entire White Rim road, though the conditions were tricky at times with snow, ice, and slippery mud on steep slopes. The weather was also dicey at times with high winds, occasional snow, and cold temperatures. But hey, dramatic weather sometimes yields beautiful scenes.

The intriguing patterns in this rock appear to be completely natural, making them even more unusual than I first thought.
This view of Bow Fiddle Rock shows a little more of the craggy rocks that line the small cove in which it is located .The small beach is made of pebbles then your on to the rocks ,not hard to get down there but you do have to careful .Located just outside Portnockie,Moray,North East Scotland ....well worth a visit if your up that way
De rots ligt ongeveer 25 kilometer ten oosten van Paphos (Cyprus).
De geboorte van Aphrodite
Er zijn twee versies van haar geboorte, de ene versie zegt dat zij de dochter van Zeus en Dione is, terwijl in de andere versie Aphrodite uit de zee oprees uit het schuim, toen de geslachtsdelen van Uranus in zee vielen nadat zij door zijn zoon Cronus werden afgesneden.
De legende vertelt dat je drie keer naakt bij maanlicht tegen de klok in rond de rots moet zwemmen. Je blijft dan eeuwig jong.

Kirkjufell from up above Grundarfjörður. I found a rock with a distictive Kirkjufell like shape, the light was doing its thing again shining down highlighting the land with the foreboding clouds and a fierce wind blowing around me a smile, click! www.glensumnerphotography.com
