A rock pool at Haycock Point. Quite a few steep steps down to this large rock platform and then a sloping rock face, which is okay if not wet and if you have plenty of grip on your shoes. The platform contains some varied geology and is quite an interesting place. Haystack Rock is located beyond it and separated from the platform. Beowa National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW. (Formerly Ben Boyd NP).
I guess you can't tour Western Australia without going to Wave Rock. A lot of people had told us to be prepared to be underwhelmed. I think they were wrong, it was definitely worth the long drive to see it.
We spotted this female Blue Rock Thrush on, very appropriately, a Rock!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
☄ Michel Pagliaro at the 2019 Quebec National Day (St-Jean-Baptiste). Pag, as he is called here is the most famous rock musician of Quebec, a real legend. He’s been on the scene for many, many years and believe me, he stills rock the crowd hard ... with the help of excellent musicians of course. So I allowed myself a small photo montage by mixing a portrait of the artist with the Fireworks.
☄ Michel Pagliaro à la Fête Nationale du Québec (St-Jean-Baptiste) 2019. Pag, comme on l'appelle ici, est le plus célèbre musicien rock du Québec, une véritable légende. Il est sur la scène depuis de très nombreuses années et croyez-moi, il continue de faire puissamment vibrer la foule ... avec l’aide d’excellents musiciens bien sûr. Je me suis donc permis un petit montage photo en mixant un portrait de l'artiste avec les Feux de la St-Jean.
☄ Michel Pagliaro en el Día Nacional de Quebec (St-Jean-Baptiste) 2019. Pag, como se le llama aquí, es el músico de rock más famoso de Quebec, una verdadera leyenda. Él ha estado en la escena por muchos, muchos años y créeme, él continúa emocionando poderosamente a la multitud ... con la ayuda de grandes músicos, por supuesto. Así que me permití un pequeño fotomontaje al mezclar un retrato del artista con los fuegos.
Popa Chubby actuó ayer (17) en la rotonda del Centro Cívico Delicias de Zgz. Dos horas largas de buena música.
Early morning long exposure from the harbour port entrance of Colijnsplaat. In the background you may notice (very small) the Johannis de Rijke Statue.
Pulpit Rock is just below the Cape Schanck lighthouse which overlooks Bass Strait in Victoria, Australia. It was formed by volcanic activity and its base is called the Devils Desk . . . .Sigma 18 -200mm f3.5 -6.3 DC OS HSM @6.00

Paeonia rockii
Botanischer Garten der Unversität Wien
Paeonia rockii was named after Joseph Rock (1884 – 1962), "an Austrian-American botanist, explorer, geographer, linguist, ethnographer and photographer" whose interesting biography you can read more about in the cited Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Rock
Paeonia rockii "is native to the mountains of Gansu and adjoining provinces in China. In Chinese, it is known as 紫斑牡丹", which means "purple patch peony". On the inside of the otherwise white petals you can see purple patches below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paeonia_rockii zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%AB%E6%96%91%E7%89%A1%E4%B8%B9
Though it appears ready to topple over the side of the mountain, Bubble Rock is a very secure fixture in Acadia National Park, Maine.
Carried here from 20 miles away by a glacier during the last ice age, Bubble Rock is known as a glacial erratic. Rounded by tumbling in the glacial ice, it's easy to see that it rests on bedrock of entirely different material.
Eagle Lake, seen to the middle left in this image, is the largest fresh water lake on Mount Desert Island and in the National Park. Also formed by glacial activity, the lake reaches 110' at its deepest point.

Isolated from other walls and buttes working to become isolated pillars, Standing Rock is a well known feature of Monument Basin in Canyonlands, often seen and photographed from Grandview Point on Island in the Sky 2000’ / 600 m above. The north-facing slopes still hold snow from a significant storm 3 days prior to when this photo was taken.
Standing Rock was first climbed in 1962 by Layton Kor and colleagues, because as they put it “it won’t always be there.” They described the Organ Rock shale that the pillar is made of as "layers of rye-krisp sandwiched between layers of kitty litter." As you might guess few people have been on the summit of this 300’ / 90 m tower.
I had visited this area a year ago, managing to get a flat tire and lacking the appropriate lug nuts for the spare… that saga is best forgotten ;-). This year’s trip was successful in that I managed to drive the entire White Rim road, though the conditions were tricky at times with snow, ice, and slippery mud on steep slopes. The weather was also dicey at times with high winds, occasional snow, and cold temperatures. But hey, dramatic weather sometimes yields beautiful scenes.
A moody sunset at Marsden Rock.
The Great North Run preparations are in full force with the finish line minutes from here, good luck to all running tomorrow!
I was up before sunrise and went for a wander from our BnB. The rock is probably one that was once pushed by a glacier but now makes a bold ah statement as a gatepost.
Have a good day.
Pulangbato Falls literally means Red Rock Falls in English. The sulfur content in the water has turned much of the rocks in the stream and directly beneath the waterfall into a reddish-orange color.
I was fascinated at the beautiful blue sea below, partly caused by a rock fall. Old Harry Rocks along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. At the top of the cliffs you can just see how small the people are in comparison to how high these cliffs are.
