The 400-foot high igneous rock formation lies in a 140-acre site along the stretch of the Missouri River near Cascade, Montana.
Before Tower Rock was referenced in the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, many Native American tribes used the rock as a landmark when they were entering and leaving the rich buffalo grounds of today's north central Montana. Captain Meriwether Lewis noted in his journal "an Indian road enters the mountain at the same place with the river on the Stard side and continues along it's border under the steep cliffs." Lewis also wrote in his journal, "At this place there is a large rock of 400 feet high which stands immediately in the gap which the Missouri makes on it's passage from the mountains... This rock I called the tower. It may be ascended with some difficulty nearly to it's summit and from it there is a most pleasing view of the country we are now about to leave. From it I saw that evening immense herds of buffalo in the plains below." Meriwether Lewis, July 16, 1805.
I thank you for the continued support and encouragement. Have a great day.

We went for our afternoon walk at Dowse Lagoon, Sandgate yesterday afternoon. This entails a complete circuit around this lagoon which is currently showing the strains of drought. It’s a lovely walk on easier bicycle tracks and passes through some native trees and little boardwalks down to the edge of the lagoon to check on the birds in the remaining parts filled with water. Of course, I did take the wrong lens for birds and my big telephoto still hasn’t been picked up after a firmware update. Unprepared as usual except I was lugging a proper camera with me which is unusual on afternoon walks.
For some reason, at one point there is a big slab of rock beside the path, with no explanation of what it is or why it is there, despite plenty of other explanatory signs around the place. It’s obviously not a meteorite as it seems to have too much quartz (not that I am a meteorite specialist) and anyway, it’s so big, had it hit the earth it probably would have blown a hole bigger then, well, Dowse Lagoon! It sort of reminds me of one of those big old fashioned butcher shop blocks made from a good solid lump of tree truck that were common when I was a kid, except the surface is ripples like sand at the beach.
My back and my head reluctantly bent down to take a shot of the interesting top of the rock which was well back lit by the sun and this is exactly what I got, no editing. I was so impressed that I gave the camera a hug and a day off, being a good boss! It was still broad daylight but you wouldn’t know it would you.
Enjoy your week all my Flickr friends. Only 34 sleeps to go!

People were rock jumping over there. I wanted to join them so badly, but how do I even get down there?

The rock returns! 2 second exposure. My tripod died producing this picture and my camera almost ended up in the water. I think this photo is a suitable tribute for my tripod, RIP.

I observed a couple of young Rock Squirrels looking for attention and I felt obliged to take a few images of them.

The end of summer 2011, and the water was frightenly frigid. After a few dares Liam got waste deep in the runoff.

Exploring Joshua Tree National Park by night is an absolute thrill. There are so many amazing rock formations, like Arch Rock, just begging to be used as foreground for the pitch black, starry skies. We visited back in March and had scouted Arch Rock earlier in the day and lined things up with TPE to figure out the best time to return at night. After tiptoeing through the campground and clamouring into position we found the milky way rising at the same angle as the rock. It was perfect! I lit the scene using a low level lighting panel and took four shots for stacking. I'm over the moon with how this one turned out!

Lets take a break from my beautiful beautiful women shooting spree :D
Its been a long time since i shot landscapes
Went to punggol together with the landscape expert nilai asia, and got a couple of great tips from him.
And for the first time i jumped into the water to get this cool angle with lotsa water all over the frame, looks cool
But now my tripod feet is full of sands inside and i cant get it out
everytime i pull out the feet it has a very annoying sound now like 'screeeechhhh'

This is the iconic Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park, CA USA. This is a real photo taken at night, illuminated by a ProtoMachines LED flashlight near a full moon while the camera shutter was open on my tripod-mounted camera. The streaks in the evening sky are the movements of the stars over the 386-second exposure. Nikon D610, Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 @ 14mm, 386 seconds f/8 ISO 200 2016-03-24 22:13

Last week a strong southerly change was forecast and the cloud build up signaled this change in weather was close. We drove to Cave Rock located on Sumner Beach in Christchurch and were able to just catch the sunlit rock against the darkening clouds. We were lucky as the light was only like this for a few minutes.
I followed my visit with some research on the small round building and mast built on the top of the rock. During Canterbury’s early years heavy goods could not be transported from Lyttelton over the Port Hills, so they were taken to Christchurch by small coastal vessels that crossed the Sumner sand bar into the Estuary, and unloaded freight at a wharf in Ferrymead. Crossing the sand bar was dangerous and a number of vessels were lost. In 1864 the Canterbury Provincial Government erected a signal mast on top of Cave Rock to enable a pilot to signal the state of the tides to ships using black and white canvas balls hung off the mast. The stone signal station on top of Cave Rock was constructed later in 1898, so this building is 124 years old. In addition to housing the signal equipment, it also contained a fog horn to summon the crew of the Sumner lifeboat when needed. Canterbury Library has a photo from 1900 showing the lifeboat stored in the cave with a launch ramp to the sea. In the 1930’s signal lights on the mast replaced the canvas balls.

Bean Rock Lighthouse is the only surviving wave washed wooden cottage type lighthouse in New Zealand. Bean Rock stands on a group of rocks opposite North Head at the entrance to Waitemata harbour, Auckland.
Construction begun on the Bean Rock lighthouse in 1870 and was completed in 8 months. The design was an open framework with a cottage on top.
On 24 July, 1871, after a cost of £3000, the lighthouse with its kerosene light of 350 candlepower was lit.
The keeper lived in three rooms in the cottage structure. A living area including kitchen, a bedroom and the ‘long drop’ toilet to the sea below.
In 1912 it installed its first automatic acetylene light at Bean Rock and the lighthouse became the first watched light to lose it's resident keeper. At the same time it was changed to a flashing light to stand out from the lights of the city. The light revolved by the pressure it generated as it burned; an automatic sun valve turned the gas flow on and off.
Plans in the 1970's to replace the lighthouse with a concrete structure was meet with local opposition but by the 1980's the Auckland Harbour Board and Historic Places Trust were seriously worried about the lighthouse as it needed extensive repairs. In 1985 the cottage structure was removed by crane from the pilings and moved ashore for renovation. At the same time the rotted kauri piles were replaced with Australian hardwood jarrah and sunk in a new concrete foundation.
During the renovation, they found 20 coats of paint on one section of the lighthouse, showing how well the keepers had done their job. The lighthouse was also repainted white, it's original colour after being painted yellow since 1956. Five months later the cottage was craned back onto the new pilings and bolted down.
Solar panels now provide the power for the lighthouse and it has an automatic fog horn.
