My brother was much more adventurous at rock hopping than me - better balance, footwear and not a DSLR around his neck!
Castle Rock from the perspective where you can see more clearly how it got its name. From a distance it does look like a castle on the hill.
Rock City Barn
HWY 19 (Main St)
Bryson City
Swain County, NC
There is nothing richer in Southern History than Rock City barns. I have seen these all my life and even visited Rock City, a few years ago because of the signs.
We came across this one yesterday while taking an afternoon drive, just out of Bryson City, NC
In 1935, Clark Byers worked for Fred Maxwell, owner of an advertising company in Chattanooga, TN. Maxwell had been working with Garnet Carter, owner of Rock City Gardens, to come up with an advertising plan to promote the gardens. They came up with the idea of painting signs on barns. During the next three decades, Clark Byers and his helpers painted around 900 barns in 19 states. All their work was done freehand.

Finally I managed to shoot some seascapes again. Found this fairly interesting rock formations during a rare calm day in the North Atlantic
This photo is from a recent road trip I did with the family down to New South Wales. We stayed at Wallaga Lake, which is the perfect place to base yourself to photograph these incredible rock formations. I spotted the small waterfall at the front of the rock pool fairly early this particular morning so I set myself up and waited for it to occur again - it was very infrequent! I was then fortunate that quite a large wave came which caused the waterfall down the rocks on the left hand side.

Here's one from the archives, shot a few months ago in Cornwall (probably the best place to be if you're into seascapes and long exposures). This is Gull Rock, just a little off the coast of Portreath on the north Cornwall coast. This is one of a multitude of images that I've been sitting on for months, trying to figure out how best to treat it. Went in a new direction on this one, not quite sure yet if it's working here. Let me know what you think.
I haven't had much time for photography lately unfortunately. So many things are changing for me with my impending move back to Malaysia. We leave in just over 2 weeks now and packing is in full force. It's amazing how much "junk" you can accumulate without even realizing it! Despite all the stresses and strains, it's a very exciting time right now and I'm grateful for that.
This will probably be my last post for a long while. We are first heading off to California for an extended break, en route to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All my computer gear is going by sea which means I probably won't "sea" them until at least mid-January (groan, did I really just say that?). Bad puns aside, I will still try to catch up on all of your work every now and then and I hope to see all of you again when I return!
So, until then, happy shooting and take care everyone!
PS: Ugh, Flickr seems to have oversharpened this. The original size looks alright though. Why does it do that?
I stumbled across this recently taken near the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point, Kilchoan, Acharacle, West Scotland. Five years back. I remember wandering down to the rocks as the tide had gone out and panning the camera on the crystal clear waters of the rock pools.
A view of one of the buildings at the All-Star Music resort at WDW. I had a real laugh when I tried to use generative AI to remove a couple of people in the central opening. The AI replaced them with a HUGE child. Several times. After the stitch in my side (from laughing) subsided, I got it done with "content-aware fill" instead. Another person in the picture was easier to remove and GAI did OK with that one. The GoPro didn't handle the dynamic range very well, so there's a lot of editing and noise reduction. Happy Sliders Sunday.
Our final destination on our trip was to Waterton in Alberta, if you ever visit this part of Canada I would highly a stop hererecommend a stop here. Red Rock Canyon is s short drive into the Mountains and is a beautiful part of the Country.
Check this out! can you see a huge face made of rock (looking somewhat Aztec) staring directly at the huge torrent flow with his right hand extended waving and directing the water toward us? Or did someone spike my drink? Look at the rock formation and think of it as the top half of a rock god facing the waterfall!! Sweet!! Barren Falls. Kuranda Range. In full summer flood!!
Rock Island CC119 at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built by Pullman Standard in 1970, this was one of five smooth-side Control Cabs ( #'s CC115 - CC119 ) on the Rock Island, later, Metra 7881-7885. The cabs were deactivated on the Metra, turning them into coaches. The blue sign at the end door reads: SUB LINE 5:18. This train is seen leaving La Salle Street Station, presumably around 5:18 PM.

Cistus (Rockrose or Rock Rose) is a genus of about 25 species of perennial shrubs found on dry or rocky soils throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal through to the Middle East, and also on the Canary Islands. They thrive on a steep hill in my San Francisco garden.
Hope you have a great start to the new week. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

In tight on a small section of Rock Creek including a tree and roots along the opposite bank. I liked all the random colors and textures at play in this scene. Taking advantage of a slightly steeper gradient and lower light on this section of the creek I was able accentuate the flows to a greater extent by using a longer exposure.
Aboriginal rock art on Bigge Island records a first contact with another culture and race of people which was unknown to each. These people were from Europe and were possibly from Portugal or Spain. The local people painted things which they had not seen before such as smoking pipes, hats and even sailing ships. The image Rock Art (12) details a snake over the head of one of the European men, it is thought that the snake was a sign by the local people that these people should not be trusted.
The Parish Church of Saint Phillip & Saint James
Rock is a small estate village in Northumberland, about 5 miles north of Alnwick.
