Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek), also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is a sea stack in Pafos, Cyprus. The combination of the beauty of the area and its status in mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite makes it a popular tourist location.
Legend whispers that a local bar was not doing too well in the seventies, and tourists where not flocking to this beautiful beach in the same numbers as earleir years. in order to restore his fortunes he named one of the rocks as Aphrodite's birth place...........................business has never looked up since.

It's the 100th Birthday celebration for this Minnesota Icon that has guarded the North Shore of Lake Superior since 1910.
It's my annual "offical" autumn photo of this state's treasure. It just has to be included in my series of photos honoring "North of Ordinary!"

Hanging Rock (formally known as Mount Diogenes), in central Victoria, Australia, is a distinctive geological formation, 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon, a former volcano. Best known as the site where a party of schoolgirls disappeared in February 1900 in the fictional story Picnic at Hanging Rock, Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory.
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon and, to the east, Crozier's Rocks.[citation needed] All three mamelons are made of solvsbergite, a form of trachyte only found in two or three other places in the world. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.
Hanging Rock contains numerous distinctive rock formations, including the "Hanging Rock" itself (a boulder suspended between other boulders, under which is the main entrance path), the Colonnade, the Eagle and the UFO. The highest point on Hanging Rock is 718 metres above sea level and 105 metres above the plain below. Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory but they exercised a custodial responsibility on behalf of the surrounding tribes in the Kulin nation. It was a site of male initiation and as such entry was forbidden except those young males being taken there for ceremonial initiation. After colonial settlement the Aboriginal people of the area were quickly dispossessed and forced out of the area by 1844. However one last initiation ceremony was held there in approximately November 1851 by a Wurundjeri Elder from the Templestowe area in the Yarra Valley. This ceremony was also attended by two young settlers' children, Willie Chivers, 11, and his younger brother Tom, 7, who were being cared for on a daily basis by the tribe after their mother had died. Their father went missing after looking for their mother. (Wikepedia excerpt)
Waterfall along Rock Creek, which is a tributary of Big Piney Creek, in the Ozark National Forest. The creek lives up to its name, here the waterfall hits a huge boulder sitting in the middle of the creek.
It was about two miles of hiking to reach this spot, and as soon as we got here a bunch of country guys in 4-wheelers and side-by-sides drove up and parked in the middle of the creek right above the waterfall. We sat and waited while they stood around and drank some beers. Eventually they left and we were able to get a few pictures without them in the way.
Pulpit Rock is coastal feature near the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The artificial stack of rock was left in the 1870s after a natural arch was cut away by quarrymen at the Bill Quarry on the famous headland, Portland Bill. It was intentionally left in place as a quarrying relic
The exposed rock surface that surrounds Pulpit Rock is known as Snail Shore. The surface contains millions of snail, oyster and mollusc shells that was once a Jurassic seabed thriving with marine life around 150 million years ago
I love music. So much.
I wanted to try to express how much, and jumping seemed to fit. I just got the new Broken Bells CD in the mail and it's made me super happy. I had it blaring during this shoot to inspire some moves. Hear the inspiration.
Also, pretty excited about my newly painted wall. We painted our living room wall this red yesterday. I looove it!!!

This male Red Rock Skimmer is the 8th lifer ode that I have seen and photographed on this southeastern Arizona trip that my twin brother and I began on August 18. The reflections on the rock that it chose to perch on creates an 8 wing illusion.
Here is a view of smith rock from the top :) I went around the back way not up the face with a rope ;)
Rock Lake, Lake Mills Wisconsin. Lots of mystery surrounds this lake. Rumor has it that theres an underwater ancient pyramid and a mythical sea serpent.

This is one of the many unusual rock formations on the north edge of Antelope Island within the Great Salt Lake. Not sure how these structures were formed. This one got nicknamed "Skull Rock" by our group partly because it looks like a kind of skull. More importantly, however, a kid, not in our group, was climbing on this and fell. He hit his skull on a nearby rock and started bleeding. This the name, Skull Rock.
