Just got home from Beaumaris in Anglesey Wales so late with my photo this week. We visited Penmon Lighthouse on a very sunny but cold afternoon, in the lead up to the lighthouse there were very many interesting rock pools so I thought this would be a good idea for a water element. I have cropped the photo down to fit in with the 3" limit.
Sigiriya Rock, Sri Lanka
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya is truly unique not only for its remaining ruins, but also for its stunning location.
The palace ruins on the summit of Sigiriya rock consist of several massive brick walls and pools, which were carved into the solid rock, and the sheer drop-offs on any side of the summit offer panoramic views in all directions.
The entry to the summit leads through massive Lion's claws which are the remains of what was once a much larger structure. In ancient times, the stairway lead straight into the mouth of a lion, and the name Sigiriya, which literally means Lions Rock, stems from this impressive monument.
The Royal gardens below the rock are surrounded by the outer moat and are among the most important and spectacular features of Sigiriya, and are considered to be among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset time.
I am fully aware that millions of photos of this Australian landmark have already been taken. And of course many of them are more spectacular than this one. But nevertheless, it is a great experience to travel to this place and wait for the sunset (of course there a lot of other people doing the same, one is definitely not alone). It was a hot evening with clear sky and a wonderful sunset.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Kirkjufell from up above Grundarfjörður. I found a rock with a distictive Kirkjufell like shape, the light was doing its thing again shining down highlighting the land with the foreboding clouds and a fierce wind blowing around me a smile, click! www.glensumnerphotography.com
The famous climbing Hut Black Rock Cottage is situated on the access road to the Glencoe mountain ski area. Black Rock Cottage is one of the most famous white painted buildings in the Scottish Highlands. Sitting proudly in front of the Buachaille Etive Mòr mountain in Glen Coe Black Rock Cottage will remain a firm favourite with photographers and hikers who pass on the west Highland way.
Taken at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. Used one of my first digital cameras a Konica Minolta Dimage. Not many MP's.
Reflection under the rock bridge, or the waters not that deep. The lady precariously balances on a rock while the dog wades right in. This is a natural bridge formation know as Rock Bridge State Park in Missouri. I am standing in the other opening, up the creek is another entrance but to the cave. The land in between collapsed years ago leaving this natural formation.

Said to be the largest rock basin on Dartmoor this naturally eroded feature is on top of Kestor Rock (a tor that does not carry tor in the name). Whe climbed up as part of a fantastic circular hike around Scorhill and Gidleigh on North Eastern Dartmoor. We first spotted some smaller basins and thought that those were the one mentioned before almost falling into that incredible well! As with many Darmoor locations this basin also comes along with plenty of legends. Druids possibly used the basin for sacrificial rituals....
For those interested, I made a video of the entire walk:
Gotta love this beautiful rock wall surrounded by Autumn beauty!
Best viewed large, happy Wed. my friends =)
Okay, on me second cup of raktajino. Just because I like this pic of a rock on the beach.

The male Rock Ptarmigan takes longer than the female to change from its white winter plumage into the brown summer garb. During courtship the male is a conspicuous white patch on the brown tundra, visible for kilometers away. The female sitting on the eggs, however, is so well camouflaged that she is difficult to find from less than 2 meters (6 feet) away

The Bass Rock, or simply the Bass, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland
One from the 2013 archives for Textural Tuesday. This was shot in Nevada's Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about a 20-minute drive from Las Vegas.
Can you spot the three people in this image? They're proof that I was holding the camera level when I took the shot. :-)
HTT!

Castleton Tower (officially, Castle Rock) is a 400-foot (120 m) Wingate Sandstone tower standing on a 1,000 foot Moenkopi-Chinle cone above the northeastern border of Castle Valley, Utah. The tower is world-renowned as a subject for photography and for its classic rock climbing routes.
Cathedral Rock is one of four rock formations in Sedona believed by New Age adherents to contain a power vortex. The most-photographed formation in the area, Cathedral Rock is believed to contain feminine or magnetic energy, which encourages relaxation. The energy has been reported strongest where Oak Creek is closest to Cathedral Rock.
The most popular photo of the formation shows the waters of Oak Creek with Cathedral Rock in the background.
We visited this gorgeous place twice, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us because the wind was blowing on both days. The second time there I finally got a little lucky as the wind calmed down a little allowing the water to become still thus giving me the opportunity to see and photograph the Cathedral Rock reflection.
However, the long exposure picked-up the motion of the trees while being blown by the wind as you can see in the picture.
Thank you for your comments.

(Again) :-) I wanted to put this here for reference, that's the rock in the previous post ahead as you come upon it as the trail levels off, opens up, and heads for the upper falls in earnest. Come on in and look around at the beauty in this place as it begins to reveal itself, there isn't a pixel wasted and it must be viewed large. Now come back and look at the trail and then to it's left and right. I walked a few miles on here and it all looked like this the whole time, pristine and manicured among the debris freshly strewn by winter, it was amazing.
