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 man said "hello, what are you hoping to take a photo of". I looked toward where my camera was pointing, thinking it was really obvious. "oh, just the rock?" he said. "Just a rock?!" I exclaimed. "That's not 'just' a rock". Oh, I thought you were taking photos of birds. Another lady looked up and said "Ooo, I've not noticed that before", looking at Ilam Rock.
Interestingly I was stood in Derbsyhire taking the photo of Ilam rock is in Staffordshire.

Taken from cliff above. The sea was too rough to walk to this via Camel Rock on the beach, (in the background). However, this is a rather good view from the cliff above. Access from Camel Rock carpark and goes above Camel Rock and winds along the cliff to a headland further on. Wet and cold this day so very lucky to get some photos.

Autumn on the Beach at the Rock. Only few tourists on visit.
Ansel Adams is one of the great photographers that inspires me, he rarely had people in his landscape photography, but in a photo like this, I think it is important to have people in the image to show how big this rock is.
It is an impressive Rock, one day in the late evening I was sitting under the Rock, next day I read in the news that right on the spot I sat the Rock had collapsed, so I was feeling very lucky !
I watched a family of Rock Wrens at Laguna Lake this morning. This one found a nice rock to pose on for me.
One of two Rock Wrens we saw at Coon Bluff this afternoon. These 2 Wrens were unusually friendly and posed nicely while I took their picture. Sweet!
Moro Rock is a granite dome rock formation in Sequoia National Park, California, United States. It is located in the center of the park, at the head of Moro Creek, between Giant Forest and Crescent Meadow. A stairway [of 400 stairs], designed by the National Park Service and built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, is cut into and poured onto the rock, so that visitors can hike to the top. The view from the rock encompasses much of the Park, including the Great Western Divide. Use of this trail is discouraged during thunderstorms and when it is snowing.
Elevation: 6725 ft.

The colours of the rocks along the beachfront here are truly amazing, especially the deep reds and blues.

Another road side attraction after the roasted bumper mishap. It wasn't until we were about to leave when the scene really colored up! The kayakers made for a reason to always lug around the 500mm too;-)

One of the goslings climbing up through the rocks lining the lakeshore with a parent. The rocks were rather flat at this point but steep just to the left. Six other goslings were with them along with 3 other adults.
Again, sorry for so many photos, all from the park. No need to comment, just saving to albums.
Although this might look like an ordinary Nuthatch its habits are completely different as it inhabits rocky crags rather than trees. Rock Nuthatch (Sitta neumayer) breeds from Croatia, through the Balkans to Turkey and Iran. It is replaced further east by the Eastern or Greater Rock Nuthatch (S.tephronata). Our British Nuthatch adjusts the size of the nest entrance using mud but Rock Nuthatch constructs an elabourate pot nest with an entrance like a milk bottle. Here's one I found on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/12639178@N07/49020441692/in/photolist and Pliny the Elder believed that it was Rock Nuthatches that inspired humans to build homes of earth. I photographed this bird near Lake Bafa in Turkey. I know it looks staged but this was just a rapid grab shot as it briefly landed on a nearby rock.
Its scientific name commemorates Franz Neumayer, a natural history dealer from near Dubrovnik (now Croatia) who died in 1840, but we know very little else about him. Other than Neumayer sent a specimen in 1830 to German naturalist Dr Karl Michahelles, who realised it was new to science and named it, when he was only 23 years old. Although Neumayer had already "unofficially" named it as Sitta syriaca.

I found this rose in a catalogue this spring and loved it because it's a zone 4 rose - perfect for my cold yard.
Well, he's a rock...and, there are stars...
One of last summer's rocks. I might look for some more smooth stones and do some more painting. It was a lot of fun. I kept this guy cuz I think he is pretty cute.. with his little patchwork wing and whirligig tail feathers.
They are like worry beads ... so smooth and lovely to hold in your hand.... I pick him up on the way past wherever he ends up. This day he was hanging out on the cake plate/candle tray....

Resembling the eastern gray squirrel in shape and size, the rock squirrel is a large ground squirrel sporting an attractive variegated coat.
On the headland about 10m above St Peter's church there are two sets of rock-cut tombs or graves. They probably date from the 10th century. Each grave is cut out of the sandstone.
A set of six of these, two straight-sided and four body-shaped all with socket holes at the top where a wooden cross would have been placed. Two more rock-cut graves can be seen close by. The graves are often filled with rain water.
In 1970 a cemetery to the S of this site was excavated and 85 sets of bones were found and dated to the 10th-11th century. The rock cut graves are grade 1 listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
