Just prior to sunrise this past Sunday morning where the creek Rock Run enters the Susquehanna River. The sky was very pretty there for my daughter and I at sunrise.
f/16 at 4 Seconds (the 4 seconds was enough to smooth out the flow from the creek to get the smooth muted reflection in the water and see the details under the water surface too.) This was captured with the Hoya ND64 filter (6 stops).
If you look at the post below in the comments you will also note that this earlier morning shot you can see a difference in the water level, which I do not remember noting while out there. The water level in the river dropped some while we were there (about 30 minutes between the shots).
I assume this was from the tide potentially where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay not far down river from this location - couple miles.
This is a very popular place in the Hocking Hills. On a mid-afternoon weekday there was a steady stream of people. I had to wait for a while and time it in between the crowds to get this shot.
A little side trail off the Split Rock Side Trail takes you through this fissure, which parallels the escarpment face.
Chicken Rock is a very small island just south west of the Isle of Man. The lighthouse on it was established in 1875 and has been automated since 1960
This is a photo of the refraction of sunlight on a submerged river rock. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical.
Awaiting a route into the Houston Terminal, this pair of GEs sits on Main 1 of the Glidden Sub southwest of Houston in Sugar Land. Soon things will clear and they'll get their 18,000 tons of rock moving again.

European Rock Pipit, in a larger composition (which I mostly prefer).
Doesn't always have to be that close.
Handheld shot, distance about 20 mtrs.
Little something different this time, a common pigeon! Wanted to experiment with the newer curved bits, had a blast making this little guy.
Enjoy, let me know what you guys think in the comments!
Note: The two 30602 Slope, Curved 2 x 2 Lip elements on the chest were supposed to be purple, not dark purple, but the BL seller made a mistake. Hope to update those soon.

yes I did just make that pun
no I am not sorry
My entry to Bio-Cup 2021 Round 1. The theme was Media and Entertainment, with my subtheme being Music.
I’ve wanted to do a Crystal King revamp for a really long time, and such a terrible pun gave me a great opportunity to do so. I knew right from the start that I just had to give him a little crystal mohawk, with the leather jacket and speaker being added later on as I explored the concept. When I finished, he did end up being rather top heavy due to the guitar, so I attached one of those old 6x2x2 weighted bricks to his back, which surprisingly solved the issue.

The picture quality’s better but I prefer the angle of the one I used.
What was said to not be in the lead was. But on the Wheeling you sometimes have to suck it up. There is no such thing as a quick drive over to Carrollton, so when you show up and are gifted with this up front, well, you may as well shoot it. The one off "what the hell is that paint job" leads 701 past the marble orchard towards Gambrinus.
When visiting Bandon Beach, many of the features protruding out of the water (like the comments shot) get all of the attention, and rightly so given their unique nature.
I imagine this large rock towards the rear of the beach gets little attention. He stands there like a sentinel, watching on as everyone focuses in the other direction.
Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

A Rock Island Rail Freight Train is seen here heading south through Tutwiler, MS., on their way south to Swan Lake to interchange with Canadian National.
GMTX GP15-1 #415 has since been repainted into the Rock Island Rail paint scheme and renumbered to #1106, it has also been moved to Gulfport, MS., where it works along the former Gulf & Ship Island, now owned by Rock Island Rail.
Rock City, north of Valier in North Central Montana along the Two Medicine River.
The area is known for its sandstone pillars often refereed to as hoodoos. The hoodoos have been created from the soft sandstone being eroded away by wind and water. Often a harder layer of stone remains on top of the pillars to give them kind of a mushroom shape. There are hundreds of these hoodoos spread over the landscape above the river’s edge with areas you can walk between them which gives the area the impression of being a city. The pillars raise from just a few feet high to over 20 feet for some of the taller ones.

The Original Perch Rock
Perch Rock, New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden "Perch", hence its name. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation.
When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat "Liver" crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December.
However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one.
Construction of the Lighthouse
The foundation stone of the new lighthouse was laid on 8th June 1827 by Thomas Littledale, Mayor of Liverpool. It was designed on the lines of Eddystone by Mr. Foster and built of marble rock from Anglesey by Tomkinson & Company. It rises 90 feet above the rocks and is considered to be a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The granite cost 1/6d a cubic foot.
Each piece of stone is interlocked into the next. The whole stonework, when finished , was coated with what is known as "Puzzellani" a volcanic substance from Mount Etna which, with age, becomes rock hard. The first 45 feet is solid. A spiral staircase leads to where the keeper lived and then on to the lantern house. The revolving light was said to be the first in the country. It cost £27,500 to construct.
The Lighthouse In Use
Work was only possible at low tide and it was not completed until 1830. Its first light shone on the 1st March of that yea and consisted of two white flashes, followed by one red, with a range of 14 miles. The light was 77 feet above the half-tide level. It was eventually electrically connected to the mainland.
The Lighthouse last shone its light on 1st October 1973 as it was no longer needed on account of the radar system operating in the River.
Thurlestone Rock is a fine sea stack in the shape of an arch sitting in the bay of Thurlestone village, South Devon. It was quite adventurous getting to that viewpoint and involved scrambling over slippery rocks and jumping over rock pools and streams but I made it with dry shoes and could get a photo with the rock formation showing the arch. In the distant background Burgh Island can be seen.
