Perch Rock Lighthouse, also known as New Brighton Lighthouse or Black Rock Lighthouse, is located near Liverpool in the northwest corner of the Wirral Peninsula in New Brighton, at the mouth of the River Mersey. Perch Rock gets its name from the wooden “perch” that once held the navigational light before the lighthouse. The stone lighthouse, based on John Smeaton’s Eddystone tower, took three years to build and was completed in 1830. The lower part of the 90-foot lighthouse is solid granite, with three stories of living quarters above. The light was automated in 1925 and eventually decommissioned in 1973.
After its decommissioning, the Perch Rock Lighthouse was bought by Norman Kingham with an agreement that he maintain the building. The tower was actually used for a time as a honeymoon suite. It’s possible to walk to the tower at low tide, but access requires climbing a 25-foot ladder to the doorway.
The lighthouse presently emits flashing bursts of light which in Morse Code spell out the names of 176 men, women and children who were lost on board the American emigrant ship Ocean Monarch. The vessel sailed from Liverpool for the United States in 1848. The signal from the lighthouse can only be seen from the inland side, and is visible over a half mile radius during the day and a three mile radius at night.
This image was taken in 2014, but sometimes it takes me a while before I can get to all my stuff and process it the way I like. This walking path along the Chagrin river is one of my favorite trails to walk. The park system did an awesome job with the steps and walkways along the river. North Chagrin reservation in Solon Ohio.
The granite outcrops of the Canadian Shield feel especially timeless to me in the last days of autumn.

Posted for Saturday Self-Challenge theme Black and White contrast. Walking on the beach at Seaham my husband stepped on this rock and it cracked under his foot...Rocks it seems are not as hard as you might think!

ROCK On
Rock is a great master of life. It teaches us this simple philosophy: Stay firm!

The theme this week 'Music" was chosen by Di ( www.flickr.com/photos/photosbydi7 )
Music has been a big part of my life. Both my parents were musicians as are both my sisters. I began classical piano lessons at age five and classical guitar at ten. I have played with bands and performed solo as well as teaching various instruments. I'm happy to say that all four of our children are musicians too.

If as a child I would have found a spot like this island on Penobscott Bay, (Maine) I would have thought it to be rock skipper heaven.
The iconic sea stack that dominates Cannon Beach. I stood here watching the fog alternately roll in and then dissipate as the daylight faded. Definitely a highlight of my PNW trip!
Iowa Interstate's Rock Island Heritage Unit, IAIS 513, sits on display at the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America's open house on June 29, 2024 in Silvis, IL. RRHMA is America's newest railroad museum, and now operates out of the former Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific's primary shop complex. RRHMA is now home to Union Pacific's 3985 and 5511 and IAIS's 6988 steam locomotives, as well as UP's Centennial 6936. On this day, Canadian Pacific's 2816, "The Empress," payed a visit to RRHMA to celebrate UP 6936's return to operation, which it was doing by giving excursions around yard.

Last weekend I took a short trip around the state of Oregon. Well, actually it was a long trip, but short on time. I traveled almost 800 miles from Friday evening through to Saturday night. As I planned the trip, I wanted to make sure to hit as much of the coast as possible as well as Crater Lake. I finally determined that the best alternative was to hit the coast on the way back allowing me to catch night and sunrise shots on Crater Lake, so that left finding something suitable on the way out. During this effort, I received a suggestion to stop at Smith Rock which not only provided a great scene but also worked out perfectly for catching Friday's sunset. The only bummer was passing all the great scenes with no time to stop, but the end result more than made up for it. For those unfamiliar, Smith Rock State Park is just north of Redmond, Oregon and about 20 miles north of Bend. It's considered by many to be the rock climbing Mecca of the west.
I got to the area about 1/2 hour before sunset and had a planned vantage in the park thanks to TPE. However, pulling up I decided to call an audible for a couple reasons. First, the rock is much bigger than I thought and a shot from the park would be too close. Second, as I was approaching the park I passed a spot off the side of the road that provided an interesting foreground as well as an elevated view of the rock. The sunset that day would have been perfect if not for the mountains to the west being socked in which ended the sunset artificially early. I wasn't complaining though, considering I had just about an hour to find and shoot this landmark, I came away pretty lucky!
Of our 4 "Rock"-named species, the Rock Wren's name is perhaps the most apt. Molino Vista. Mt. Lemmon.
Rock Dove (Columba livia) Often mistaken for “just another pigeon,” this bird is anything but ordinary. Here’s why: Surprisingly Fast Top speed: Up to 100 km/h in flight. Life span: Can live 6 to 35 years, Highly adaptable: Thrives in cities, cliffs, and countryside across the globe. Omnivorous diet: Seeds, fruits, and even scraps true urban survivors.
Just a crop of this infrared panorama (due to Flickr's "best display size" which obviously seems to vary between free and pro users):

It's cool how the ripples on the lake are confined to a certain area, outside of it, the water is flat like a mirror.

I was sitting on the ground of the parking lot watching the Mountain Bluebird pair gathering food for their babies. They spent more time on the ground so I sat down and watched waiting to get a shot. About a minute later, I looked up and this Rock Wren was right in front of me.
I knew Rock Wrens had been seen up there but I was not expecting to look up and see it staring at me. Surprised and delighted me! No calls played.
The first proper photo from our trip down the south coast of England. It's basically a straight out of the camera JPG!
This is pulpit rock, an impressive coastal feature at Portland Bill, the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England.
The artificial stack of rock was left in the 1870s after a natural arch was cut away by quarrymen. It was intentionally left as a quarrying relic.

Scrambling around the rocks at Killcare Beach I came across this interesting rock which looked somewhat like a whale ... Bungan Head is in the distance.
