This rock is something I acquired up in Nova Scotia years ago. The scale indicates a weight of 7.5 pounds... VERY HEAVY for a rock about the size of a grapefruit.
Since 1976 I've visited Nova Scotia once, sometimes twice a year up until 2017. On every trip I spent a day photographing in Advocate (Cumberland County), and on each occasion had lunch or dinner at the Harbourlite Restaurant on RT 209 in East Advocate. This rock sat on a shelf behind the cash register, and on my first visit I asked if I could examine it. The proprietor handed it to me and I was amazed at its crazy weight for its relatively small size. She had no idea what it was, the only information she could provide was that it came from somewhere close to Cobalt, Ontario, an area of very productive silver mining and had been on that shelf for many years. I mentioned that if she ever wanted to part with it I was definitely interested in getting it. On all future visits over the next 35 years the routine was the same... I always asked to hold it so I could look it over... passing it back to her (or who ever was on duty at the register), mentioning to be sure to let me know if they ever wanted to part with it. Around 2009 or 2010 I visited again and was told that the restaurant was closing permanently... the owner was retiring, and the rock was mine. The folks who ran that place were wonderful people, the food was always great, the pies and chowder were outstanding. I hated to see it close, but time marches on. The rock sits in a special spot on my work bench in my computer room. A friend mentioned that I should take it somewhere to have it analyzed to determine whether it's silver, lead, or some other material that could account for its outrageous weight.

It looks like a badly laid brick wall, but its actually rock strata protruding from the beach at Crackington Haven in north Cornwall.
Seseh Beach, Canggu, Bali
One of the famous beach in Canggu that still undeveloped Pantai Seseh (Seseh Beach ) is rugged and windswept, with dark volcanic sand.
The beach itself is nothing to shout about and locals with gather before sunset to gaze at the waves and the setting sun.
I spent 30minutes walking around the beach looking for some nice spot untill i found this vivid green rock..i was lucky ..there was no body around this spot :D
Have a nice weekend everyone~!

This is a rock or pebble that I found at Overton Mere , the Gower Peninsula on my very first WelshFlickrCymru Photo Meet in 2010. I brought it home as a trophy , but also because it intrigued me having studied Geog/ Geology in my student days.
South Gower is predominantly made up of Carboniferous Limestone complexly folded, in which synclines of Millstone Grit shales form embayments and depressions which are visible in this. Original shot in comments.
I hope it's acceptable to have included this old fossil's hand for the group.
Old rock barn. Think it was abandoned.

Chicago's Randolph Street Festival 2015 kept two stages rocking to entertain all of us in the crowd today. The band 'Bright Light Social Hour' was the star of them all for me.

Haystack Rock at Canon Beach, Oregon. Absolutely gorgeous day on the Oregon coast, albeit a little chilly. No wind, no clouds. In other words: boring!
This rock reminded me of a Ship wrecked on the sand.
Thought I'd play about with HDR a little to continue on that good old learning curve. Couldn't get this scene to work from single image (too dark maybe) so decided to blow it out for fun
Got to get away from rocks and beaches!!!
I think it's a Rock Wren, but I can't be sure. I remember where I took the photo - rock wren territory - in the oak grass at about 700 feet. The reason this has been in storage so long is that as I photographed the tree stump, this little brown bird came in to see what I was up to, and then took off again. Good enough to keep, but not good enough to post. Still, all I am almost positive about is that it's a female, and the trunk is a century old and very dead oak tree.
This was the week before we left for Yellowstone and the Tetons, and I was practicing with my new SX50. It and I performed beautifully in both parks. Instead of a LBB, the first day in Yellowstone, I got six lifers! Too easy, really. Five Mountain Bluebirds in the first hour, and even an Osprey which perched with the sun in MY eyes. And then cross-bills, woodpeckers, grouse... And few people. The park "opened" the day after we left :-)
The photo shows the Swedish rock powerhouse Greenleaf on a show during a rock festival in Wiesbaden, Germany. The band is known for their heavy riffs, psychedelic grooves, and a sound that blends classic rock swagger with modern grit. They have evolved into a full-fledged force in the European rock scene.
Entered in the TMI contest: Travel Tales.
I've been to New Mexico a couple of times and I'm always amazed at the great variety and beauty of natural formations seen throughout.

Exploring an icy slot canyon in the Canadian Rockies. The patterns of the rock are just so cool when they are coated in frost like this.

I'm no expert, but this looks like a quartz with bands of iron oxide.
HMM! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

The famous lonely tree of White Pocket in the middle of a rock field. Taken between 2 rains.
Arizona, USA.
One more from the Rock Pool at Malibu Creek State Park.
After going here last week, I rewatched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, over Thanksgiving Weekend, and amazingly, it still holds up after all these years.
The cliffs that surround the Rock Pool are where Butch and Sundance made their spectacular leap to evade capture by "those guys," including the one in the white hat, Joe Lefors, and the famous Indian tracker, Lord Baltimore, who wind up following them all the way down to Bolivia.
Reached Explore No. 83 on Thursday, December 3, 2015.
Thanks for all your views and faves!
This is a photo of patterns in a rock at Mavillette Beach that suggest a gathering of pale pareidolia entities..
Not much is left of the house originally constructed among the rocks below the Vermilion Cliffs in the late 1920's. The chimney seen in the previous image is connected to the fireplace in the back right corner. I suspect the house has not been occupied for over 50 years.
Sometime in the 1920's (sources disagree on dates), Blanche Russell's car broke down near here. She liked the area, bought the property and built this house. Reportedly, she was a former Ziegfield Follies dancer. Blanche and her husband went on to operate a restaurant, lodge, trading post and gas station. The area was nicknamed The Cliff Dwellers by cattle herders given the proximity to the Vermilion Cliffs.
The restaurant, lodge and gas station still exist. Native Americans set up stands to sell their crafts in the vicinity of this house.
This scenic little waterfall is located on a path downstream from Mills Shoals Falls. Its a short and easy hike. Just watch out with low hanging tree limbs. Boink!!
I like this photo since I was able to hopefully catch some sky in the little pool in the foreground. Some trees were actually dropping their leaves adding some needed color to the photo.
In Kevin Adams new book he states, "As long as you stay away from the river and any wet rocks, it's just as safe there as on the sloping rock at the base." I should have heeded his warning. Just after this photo was taken I stepped out in front of my tripod and down I went. Deceptively slippery rocks for sure. But no real harm done.

Taken at Merewether Beach, New South Wales, Australia.
The outer part of the rock platform is accessible at low tide and there are some interesting rock patterns and pools to see.
As always, thanks for any comments, views or favorites, they are much appreciated!

This was my first visit to Smith Rock, so being me I naturally avoided the traditional image and went off the beaten track looking unique compositions. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a tame evening in terms of color, but I really like the mood in this image and the lovely pattern in the foreground rock.

Located on the shore of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame attracts more than 500,000 visitors annually. With its glass pyramid design by architect I. M. Pei, the Hall opened its doors in September, 2005. The red, “Long Live Rock” block-letter sign is six feet high and 78 feet long, and was added to the Hall’s main plaza in late 2016.
It was a dreary, rainy day when my wife and I visited the Hall last month, so I’ve amped up the edges and colors a bit with this image. :-) The structure in the background at left is First Energy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns professional football team.
Despite the ravages of age, the frescoes on the ceiling of the Rock Church at Sumela Monastery, Turkey, are still beautiful. The Rock Church is built into a rocky cave at the ancient monastery and the frescoes, with their biblical motifs, date back to the 18th C. Since layers of frescoes are from three different time periods, older frescoes underlay the ones that are currently visible, making restoration very difficult.
