Ober Bolzano, Bozen. Italy
De aardpiramiden op de Ritten zijn ontstaan door erosie op plaatsen waar gletsjers in de ijstijd morenes en leem hebben afgezet. In droge toestand is het materiaal keihard, maar door contact met water ontstaat een leemachtige brij die naar het dal vloeit. Onder de grote stenen blijft de leem beschermd tegen regen, waardoor aardzuilen ontstaan die bij elke regenbui hoger worden.
Sometimes you;re on a beach looking for the picture that shows how big these rocks are,
And there they where ,I didn't think just shoot......and this is the shot!...And I still love this picture....

Heron's Head Park, San Francisco, CA
This species is a rare visitor to northern California's coast. This loner was initially sighted in early November of 2019, marking the first record of its species for the city of San Francisco. It appears to have decided to extend its stay at Heron's Head Park since then, and has been seen by many other birders.
The Rock of Cashel, also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock, is an historical site located at Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland. According to local legends, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel

Thanks for faves and comments!!
Have a nice weekend ahead!! 😀
Close up capture of an Australian Rock Dove, Rock Pigeon or Feral Pigeon along the Yarra River, South Bank, Melbourne.
Common in most built-up areas, the Rock Dove is familiar to most people.
Flocks of ‘pigeons’ have been a regular sight in Australia since the first birds were released in the 1870s.
Since then, the population is regularly added to by ‘homing pigeons’ becoming lost and joining wild birds.
The natural plumage of Rock Doves consists of largely blue-grey feathering, with an iridescent purple or green sheen on the neck and breast, and two black bars across the wings.
However, many different variations have developed over the years.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves..it is always appreciated.
Peaceful Sunday
Pulpit rock, Dorset. Early morning sunrise catching the rock.
Usually a place where most would use Long Exposure, so thought I would try a normal exposure and catch a wave!!!
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.

for an enjoyable 'Travel Tuesday'!
When I was packing for a weekend getaway down to Camel Rock on the NSW South Coast I looked at the 3 tents in my garage. My Ultra Like Big Agnes, my Hilleberg Bomb Shelter or my palatial Black Wolf weekender.
While this shot was being taken my Black Wolf was perched on an open hill back at Dalmeny Campground being hammered by 50km/h winds. Maybe I should have packed differently…
In the end I came away fairly un-scathed with just a broken tent pole, a small price to pay for finally getting myself down to this remarkable part of the coast. There are literally too many comps here to count and I didn’t even both looking at Horse Head or Glasshouse.
I’ll definitely be back and next time I’ll be prepared!

Rock Pipit - Anthus petrosus
The Eurasian rock pipit is closely related to the water pipit and the meadow pipit, and is rather similar in appearance. Compared to the meadow pipit, the Eurasian rock pipit is darker, larger and longer-winged than its relative, and has dark, rather than pinkish-red, legs. The water pipit in winter plumage is also confusable with the Eurasian rock pipit, but has a strong supercilium and greyer upperparts; it is also typically much warier. The Eurasian rock pipit's dusky, rather than white, outer tail feathers are also a distinction from all its relatives. The habitats used by Eurasian rock and water pipits are completely separate in the breeding season, and there is little overlap even when birds are not nesting.
The Eurasian rock pipit is almost entirely coastal, frequenting rocky areas typically below 100 metres (330 ft), although on St Kilda it breeds at up to 400 metres (1,300 ft).[15] The Eurasian rock pipit is not troubled by wind or rain, although it avoids very exposed situations. It may occur further inland in winter or on migration.[3]
The breeding range is temperate and Arctic Europe on western and Baltic Sea coasts, with a very small number sometimes nesting in Iceland. The nominate race is largely resident, with only limited movement. A. p. kleinschmidti, which nests on the Faroe Islands and the Scottish islands, may move to sandy beaches or inland to rivers and lakes in winter. A. p. littoralis is largely migratory, wintering on coasts from southern Scandinavia to southwest Europe, with a few reaching Morocco. Wanderers have reached Spitsbergen and the Canary Islands, but records in Europe away from the coast are rare.
The Eurasian rock pipit is a much more approachable bird than the water pipit. If startled, it flies a fairly short distance, close to the ground, before it alights, whereas its relative is warier and flies some distance before landing again. Eurasian rock pipits are usually solitary, only occasionally forming small flocks.
Estimates of the breeding population of the Eurasian rock pipit vary, but may be as high as 408,000 pairs, of which around 300,000 pairs are in Norway. Despite slight declines in the British population and some range expansion in Finland, the population is considered overall to be large and stable, and for this reason it is evaluated as a species of least concern by the IUCN.
