0706 Seal Rock, Oregon
iPhone XS MAX image.
Seal Rock State Wayside is located south of Newport, Oregon, and features large off-shore rock formations that provide habitat for seals, sea lions, sea birds and other marine life. The beach includes interesting tidepools as well as excellent ocean views and a sandy beach. The short trail to the beach is steep in areas, but features an ADA accessible viewpoint at the midway point with views of the beach and tidepools. The picnic area near the parking lot is in a pleasant stand of shore pine, spruce and salal.
Do not climb on trees or hide in the gras. Try to outrun the massive but surprisingly fast rock tortoise.
The head is not photoshopped or strenghtend. It's pure Lego. I had to attach a massive Lego counter weight on the other side. I will add some WIP photos later.
It was kind of an accident. I didn't really wanted to do an animal. But I liked the idea to do a shield and place ruins and trees on it.
So I started to build a turtle head. Well, this is what it became.

These lichen-encrusted granite rocks are typical of the Isles of Scilly where Rock Pipit is a common breeding bird. But living in the Pennines it isn't a bird I encounter that often. You can see this one has rather smudgy breast markings and dark legs that are characteristic of this species, although this adult is unusually white underneath. Rock Pipits also do the parachuting song-flight typical of pipits. About 36 thousand pairs of Rock Pipits breed in Britain, which may sound a lot, but is 70 times rarer than Meadow Pipit with 2.5 million pairs. Also Rock Pipits only breed on rocky coasts so they are absent as a breeding bird from the sandy/saltmarsh coasts of much of Lancashire, Lincolnshire and East Anglia (though they do winter in these sandy coasts and saltmarshes). Here's the breeding distribution map: app.bto.org/mapstore/StoreServlet?id=900
This is a 235 foot (72 metres) high monolith that towers over Cannon Beach. I'd wanted to visit Haystack Rock for years, so grabbed the chance when hubby suggested a beer-tasting road-trip around Oregon. This is a four minute exposure taken very early.
Got a chance to spend a few days in North Lake Tahoe in the Winter...what a great site to discover but had to return to this spot and got very lucky with a great burn that morning.
It’s a big big rock on a bigger rock on top of another rock in the ground. 3 bolders really. I have no idea how it got there, who put it there, or why.
On the Northumberland coast, which is nothing like the south coast of England but for a while I was transported back to my childhood again.
Taken during our walking in Errant Rocks :)
Errant Rocks (Polish: Błędne Skały) it's a complex of rock blocks at an altitude of 853 m, creating a picturesque labyrinth (rock city), located in south-western Poland in the Central Sudetes in the Stołowe Mountains. The area of strict protection called Errant Rocks has 22 hectares. It contains a group of unusual rock forms about 6 - 11 meters high, created as a result of absondering sandstone weathering. Errant Rocks is a labyrinth of crevices and recesses, sometimes very narrow, separating several meters high rock blocks. Many rocks have their own names, for example: "Rock Saddle", "Hen's Foot", "Labyrinth", "Tunnel", "Big Chamber". These various rock formations create a several hundred meter tourist route with a unique charm, which we often literally squeeze through narrow cracks between the rocks. The height of the corridors varies between 6-8 m, the width is different - in some places it is only a few tens of centimeters. On the area of Errant Rocks there is a point of observation on a platform called "Rock Bowls". From there we can see both Szczeliniec Wielki and Maly, Broumovska Vrchovina, the town Machov, and when there is good visibility, we can also see the Karkonosze mountains.

Jeden z wielu skalnych korytarzy w Błędnych Skałach :)
Błędne Skały – zespół bloków skalnych na wysokości 853 m n.p.m., tworzący malowniczy labirynt (skalne miasto), położony w południowo-zachodniej Polsce w Sudetach Środkowych w Górach Stołowych. Obszar Błędnych Skał ma powierzchnię ok. 22 ha. Obejmuje on swoim zasięgiem zespół osobliwych form skalnych o wysokości 6 - 11 m, wytworzonymi wskutek wietrzenia piaskowca ciosowego. Błędne Skały to labirynt szczelin i zaułków, niekiedy niezwykle wąskich, oddzielających bloki skalne kilkunastometrowej wysokości. Wiele skał ma własne nazwy np.: "Skalne Siodło", "Kurza Stopka", "Labirynt", "Tunel", "Wielka Sala". Powstałe bloki skalne tworzą kilkusetmetrową trasę turystyczną o niepowtarzalnym uroku, którą zwiedzając często dosłownie przeciskamy się pomiędzy skałami wąskimi szczelinami. Wysokość korytarzy waha się w granicach 6-8 m, szerokość jest różna - miejscami wynosi tylko kilkadziesiąt centymetrów. Na terenie Błędnych Skał znajduje się punkt widokowy, na platformie o nazwie "Skalne Czasze". Widoczny stąd jest m.in. Szczeliniec Wielki i Mały, Broumovska Vrchovina, miejscowość Machov, a przy dobrej widoczności zobaczyć możemy także Karkonosze.
.... the Rock cries out to us......
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow.
I will give you no hiding place down here.

Another shot of this rock, a bit later than the previous one, from another angle, with the "Titan lighthouse" on the "Île du Levant" on the left of the picture.
A yellow crowned night heron was seen standing on a rock in the Indian River near Rio, Florida. Prints, and many other items, are available with this image on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
This was trail Section # 23. It is one of the harder trails to get to as it is at least 2 or more miles from any trail head.
I had not been on this trail in nearly 20+ years.
With all the foliage down it was spectacular.
I'll definitely be coming back to explore those rocks.
I have two sections left! Almost done with the challenge. However it will be bittersweet to have taken on such a huge goal and then complete it!
This hike included a few funny Mishaps....
This shot is dedicated to my great Flickr buddy Nora. Have a happy birthday tomorrow :)
Sugarloaf rock is located in the holiday region of Dunsborough about 2.5 hours south of Perth. It is an area of scenic pristine coastline.
I used a NDX400 filter to slow the exposure to capture the cloud movement.
Whenever I put my IR converted camera to my eye I’m excited by the new view of the world I’m seeing. My excitement is then translated to many photos taken and looking forward to processing this images later. On seeing the results downloaded I’m often disappointed with my endeavours and after some quick processing on one or two I give up and move on. Thus was the case with dozens of photos taken last March on a barmy sunny Sunday on the Coniston fells, probably an idea time to use my IR camera. It wasn’t until this look back 2 months later I’ve started to like on or two of the images taken.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of Spain's Iberian Peninsula. The main focal point is the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426 meter high limestone ridge that shoots straight up into the sky from the sea! This limestone mountain has a nature reserve with wild monkeys along with batteries, fortifications, and tunnels. Spain is just on the other side of the Rock of Gibraltar.
