The sands of the Lower Antelope Canyon are forming an absolutely stunning textured rock passage that leads deeper in to the Labyrinth
Time for another monoscape.
Karen and I found this interesting 3-headed drift log at Rialto Beach. Someone had entertained themselves with stacking stones on each head. Good idea. Thought it made for an intriguing image.
Posted a color version earlier. I'll post it below:

Chitons (pronounced ‘kite-ons’) are enigmatic and fascinating marine invertebrates. They are known from fossils dating back at least 300 million years, and have changed little with the passing of time
Chitons belong to the phylum Mollusca (along with sea snails, sea slugs and bivalves), and are sometimes known as ‘coat-of-mail shells’, which alludes to their carapace of eight overlapping and interlocking plates that resemble the chain mail sported by knights of old. They have small heads, and a lack of tentacles and eyes means it’s not always obvious which end is which.

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.
This is the last sculpture in the Barbara Hepworth exhibition, "In Equilibrium" at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne, Australia. In 1973 Hepworth celebrated her 70th birthday and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Rock Face marks a return to carving Ancaster stone. The design is simple, with a concave form and the holes of course. These tend to emphasise the two tones in the stone. Although small (just over a metre high), it is a monolithic form reminding us of the ritualistic standing stones in Cornwell's past.
Hepworth herself said of this work, despite never swerving from her abstractness: "You can't make a sculpture without it being a thing - a creature, a figure, a fetish.'
Within two years she was gone. On the night of May 20 1975, Hepworth died when a fire ripped through her home and studio in St Ives.
Rock Island E8A 652
Iowa Northern's restored E units made their public debut during Railroad Days 2017 at the Hub City Heritage Railroad Corp. Museum, Oelwein, Iowa.
This was taken from a car window as I did not have time on the day to visit the site or use a tripod. I really must revisit soon.

I will visit your streams later this evening.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

Arch Rock Glow (9798)
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

Pigeon - a.k.a. rock dove - strikes a curious stance in my front yard.

Cave Rock was created over 3 million years ago and is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Tahoe. You can see the rock structure from almost any point on the lake. It’s still considered sacred to the Washoe Indians and is what they call “The Lady of the Lake” because from the water you can see the profile of a woman’s face in the rock structure, the “Lady”. The hike is very short and only takes about 15 minutes if that.
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.

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.
The parish church of St Phillip and St James is located in the centre of the village and dates back to the early 12th century.
The details in the lichen patterns can be seen much more clearly in the original postings:
