Another one from the landscape workshop in Turkey.
Many years ago the Christians in Cappadocia had to hide from persecution and they carved their houses and chuches in the soft sand stone. Often these places were well hidden inside mountains and difficult to enter.
Many of these houses and churches still exist now and make for good photography subjects.
We're used to seeing buildings built with rocks and bricks, but to see churches hewn out from a mountain is pretty spectacular.
If you're interested in joining me on our next landscape workshop in Turkey, please have a look on my website for more information:
After two days of teasing, a Black Phoebe finally settles down and poses for pictures on day three of the 2015 Rock Art Foundation's Dolan Falls Weekend on the Devils River near Loma Alta, Texas.
As you approach Sugarloaf Rock you will instantly see why this towering, sea-scultpured rock that emerges from the Indian Ocean is one of the most photographed coastal landforms in the region. Sugarloaf WA
Moro Rock is a prominent granite protrusion on the edge of the Giant Forest visible to everyone driving up the Generals Highway into Sequoia National Park from the south. The hike up Moro Rock is a classic, composed of over 350 steps in a picturesque quarter mile climb. Its status as one of the most popular hikes in Sequoia National Park is well earned. Moro Rock rises 6,725 feet above sea level, but hikers only have to climb the last 300 feet of that elevation to enjoy the vast panoramic views.
This is an east looking view if I remember correctly.

One of two pigeons spotted by the small lake in our neighborhood. I believe this to be a Rock Pigeon. Identification input is always appreciated. Morgan County, Alabama - 2019
No description this time around, but you can read the story behind this image and many other taken the same day here.
Enjoy!
Deep Rock brand gasoline has been around since 1913. The brand was purchased by Kerr-McGee in 1955. At the time of the merger Deep Rock brand appeared on over 1000 stations in 16 Mid-Continental states.
This former gas station has been used off & on as retail space but is currently abandoned...
I have almost finished up Isildur for the Argonath commission. Now I need to start filling in the cliff sections that connect to him.
This is the style of rock I think will work great for this project. It is basically a combination of Emil Lidé's terraced plate technique with some slopes added in the layers to smooth out some transitions.

The beauty of the Oregon Coast is expressed so vividly by the rocks and cliffs that abound there. Haystack Rock is iconic, and yes, even cliche, but I do love to admire its beauty.

Currumbin Rock. Light from the setting sun behind and below the horizon, and the moon high in the eastern sky.
An amazing natural rock sculpture found near Kebnekaise. Has a kind of Russian Constructivist feel I think.
One of a couple of rock hyrax lurking in the undergrowth behind the African penguin colony at Simon's Town on the Cape Peninsula. These are the same confiding creatures that are found on the top of Table Mountain. Also known as dassies, rock dassies or Cape hyrax.
The view northwest from Rock Mountain along the Nason Ridge trail. Nikon D600 and one of my favorites, my old Nikkor 135mm f3.5 AI.
Los acantilados de Kilt Rock se encuentran en la isla de Skye, y son sencillamente espectaculares, es un lugar que si teneis intención de viajar hasta allà no podeis dejar de ver.
Estos acantilados reciben este nombre porque según sus gente en las piedras se pueden observar todos los colores que llevan los famosos Kilt (faldas escocesas).
Recomiendo ver en grande, espero os guste

These are some really fun cupcakes I was asked to make as a surprise for a 40th birthday. They are chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting and handmade sugarpaste toppers incorporating some of the birthday boys favourite bands!
I think the little hands of rock are my favourite toppers EVER!
Inspriation from these cupcakes have been taken from quite a few fab cupcakers out there namely Death by Cupcake and Clever Cupcakes.

Dead Rock....Situated about 250 miles from the Rock haven, the nearest permanent settlement.
A rag tag group of survivors have managed to set up quite a comfortable, fortified compound on an isolated butte of rock.
I haven't gotten all of the potential I wanted out of this build, but this has been a fun distraction for my imagination.
Juliandrius was kind enough to edit the original pic,so the background is, well, 100% better. Thanks for your efforts!
Identifying species of Dudleya is debatable even among botanists, so I'm guessing this is D. caespitosa, Coast Dudleya with Niebla homalea, Armored Fog Lichen, near the base of
Morro Rock, Morro Bay, California
From a distance the rocks on the east side of Morro Rock, which are covered with these lichen, seem somewhat softer appearing to me, at least compared to the nearby rocks, which are either bare or have less conspicuous crustose lichen. The first colonizers of bare rock, lichen then provide footholds for the plants. On some other bare-appearing parts of Morro Rock, these Dudleya probably gain some soil foothold in cracks in the rock.

I had never intended to shoot this, and it never looked good in colour. The black and white i think enhances the clouds int he background and the slightly unbalanced rock help bring this photo together. There was a rainbow as i was setting up my camera but it disappeared by the time i was ready!
no point on shooting in velvia!
