Mountains of Ergaki
The mountain range Ergaki is one of the most amazing corners of nature in the West Sayan Mountains. Exceptional in its beauty and greatness chisel-shaped granite peaks, full of rapids cold rivers, the deepest surrounded by virginal taiga and unapproachable rock walls lakes, polished by glaciers till high lustre trog valleys, magnificent waterfalls and rocky rivers of kurums - these are the things which attract tourists to this magic place of the Sayan Mountains.
Одно из красивейших и загадочных мест России.
Очень рекомендую посетить.

This was taken from more or less the same location as the preceding shot. As much as anything, I was intrigued by the form and texture of the metamorphic rocks, trying to imagine the monumental forces which were applied to them in the metamorphosing process; the nearest rock, for example, looks more like a croissant than a rock!
When the former Isar weir in Ismaning was demolished (converted to artificial river rapids), many rocks were left for a more "natural" appearance.

San Francisco’s Seal Rocks rise from the Pacific Ocean surf just off the shore of Lands End as the sun begins to set on the western edge of the city.
City Of Rocks, SW New Mexico, USA. This is an amazing place with great shapes and textures in every direction. For scale the little tree to the left is taller than a man and I shot with a car in the distance (to the right) parked at one of the many picnic areas on the periphery of this park. Thanks for looking!
Dunlins (Calidris alpina, Scolopacidae) hunting along the rocks of the breakwater at Terrell's Island Preserve, Lake Butte des Morts,
Omro/Winneconne, Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
The dunlin has been known as the red-backed sandpiper, the name given for the breeding bird's deeply colored backs. The name "dunlin" derives from "dun," meaning "dull brown" to describe the subdued colors of non breeding birds.
Although an abundant species of least concern dunlins are currently in sharp decline.

This image was captured early on a Monday morning on my to the North York moors. I managed to clamber over the precarious rocks at Flamborough before waiting for the sun to rise up over the horizon- perfect start to the day!
All need is some sand, sea, surf & barnacle-clad rocks to keep me happy. A camera helps too :)
Happy weekend everyone!
Rocks at sunset ... bathed by the sea, by the solitude and the wind, looking at the blue sky at the starry night, while time passes ...
Rocas a la atarceder...bañadas por el mar, por la soledad y el viento, mirando al cielo azul a la noche estrellada, mientras pasa el tiempo...
Toma parcial en el Anfiteatro, es una formación natural donde la erosión del agua, en su momento y del viento conformaron la roca sedimentaria del lugar. Se encuentra en la Quebrada de las Conchas, al costado de la Ruta 68, a 48 kilómetros de Cafayate, Salta.
This will be our final photograph from Bicheno. The sun was moving in and out of cloud cover for most of the afternoon, but here the brilliant sunshine illuminates Alligator Rock which has an active fur seal colony. The Australian fur seal is the fourth rarest seal species in the world.

Just a wee picture I took this morning at the bottom of my garden. The Sun was shining and the tide was in so couldn't resist this capture. I think it is beautiful hopefully somebody else will too...
A close up view, about 12mm x 8mm, of the edge of a blue agate slice sitting on top of a slice of blue fluorite.
Agate is a rock consisting primarily of cryptocrystalline silica, chiefly chalcedony, alternating with microgranular quartz. It is characterized by its fineness of grain and variety of colour. Although agates may be found in various kinds of host rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks (Wiki).
Fluorite is a colourful mineral, both in visible and ultraviolet light, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses (Wiki).
