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.

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.
A rainy day and yet another storm coming, I have just a few minutes to take pictures of these beautiful rocks before they restart to rain and nightfall !!

All need is some sand, sea, surf & barnacle-clad rocks to keep me happy. A camera helps too :)
Happy weekend everyone!
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!
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...

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...
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.
A well photographed waterfall from our day trip to North Wales. I'm trying to improve my landscape technique at the moment after a day out with our friend and accomplished landscape photographer John Starkey. The weather forecast was completely wrong, so we didn't manage to do as much as we'd hoped, but the walk through the woods to this little waterfall was lovely.
We were enjoying the tranquillity of the location until someone on the adjacent estate started blasting away with a shotgun at regular intervals, oh well....

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).
