The White Rock Pier & Promenade, walking to the very end of Canada’s longest pier offers an unobstructed 360-degree panoramic view as the sky transitions into bright orange and purple hues.

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.

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.
A little side trail off the Split Rock Side Trail takes you through this fissure, which parallels the escarpment face.

Blue Rock Thrush (Monticola solitarius) is a member of the thrush family (Turdidae). Seen in high altitude mountainous terrain. This is an uncommon species n may be a visitor to the terrain but recently come across with a pair in Munnar, Idukki, Kerala, Southern India which is more friendly and drastically changed his habits to the changing scenario - garbage explorator!!!
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.

Solid Rock
Goanna
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light o' day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now
You're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
It’s not often (ever really) that I’ll take the camera out in the midday sun. It’s even more rare that it won’t be on a tripod.
Broke both of these self imposed rules on Sunday. We had been driving for a while, and my girls needed lunch, so a man is taking his life into his hands when he wants to stop roadside to have a look at a ‘composition’.
I jumped down into the scrub, watching step by step for any sign of an over friendly snake, and knocked out a few quick hand held images.
Hope you like ‘“Solid Rock”
Cheers, Mike

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.
Probably one of the most photographed houses in Scotland - Black Rock Cottage with Buachaille Etive Mor in the background, Glencoe, Scotland. Not the best photograph ever, even some sunflare visible, but another beautiful Scottish location.

Thanks amigo for being my model next time cut your damn nails. JK :-)
This image is from my August 2011 shoot at Porth Nanven in Cornwall. Having already made some fairly standard landscape images using a wide angle lens, I decided to change to a longer focal length in an attempt to create a more abstract feel to the landscape.
These cliffs at Smith Rock are so dramatic. Like the walls of a fortress...
If you'd like to purchase any of my images, please visit my website. I can make any photo you see here available...

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.
The Emberiza cia is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae.
The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz, a bunting. The specific cia is from a local Italian name for this bird, from zirlare, "to chirp"
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.
