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.

I was fascinated at the beautiful blue sea below, partly caused by a rock fall. Old Harry Rocks along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. At the top of the cliffs you can just see how small the people are in comparison to how high these cliffs are.
Taken at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. Used one of my first digital cameras a Konica Minolta Dimage. Not many MP's.
Gotta love this beautiful rock wall surrounded by Autumn beauty!
Best viewed large, happy Wed. my friends =)
The top of this rock looks like it's going slide off into the water. Somewhere between Monterey and Carmel, California.

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.
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
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.
A Rock Pipit, seen here foraging on Instow beach, down in Devon. It's a tad grainy, as I'm cropping heavily here because the bird was at distance.

Pelicans get the big rock while seagulls are relegated to the smaller rock below.
My favorite place on the California coast, Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.
Autumn's bounty of vibrant berries, never more beautiful than the droplets of nature's water after the rain.

The rock seems to stretch upward like ancient columns. As it does so, the different layers form a checkered pattern, which gave the rock its name.
Volcanic activity is to blame for this unusual rock formation. About 60 million years ago, lava was constantly flowing between sandstone and cooling. That created the pattern.
In total, the northern peninsula of the Isle of Skye has been covered by layers of lava up to 1.2 kilometres thick.
La roche semble s'étirer vers le haut comme des colonnes antiques. Ce faisant, les différentes couches forment un motif en damier, qui a donné son nom à la roche.
L'activité volcanique est responsable de cette formation rocheuse inhabituelle. Il y a environ 60 millions d'années, la lave coulait constamment entre le grès et le refroidissement. Cela a créé le modèle.
Au total, la péninsule nord de l'île de Skye a été recouverte de couches de lave atteignant jusqu'à 1,2 kilomètre d'épaisseur.
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
