This little gem on the North Shore coastline can be found just south of Grand Portage at the Hollow Rock Resort. We stopped by as the sun was setting, only to be disappointed that the heavy cloud cover was preventing any direct light from hitting the rocky outcrop. I took a few shots, and then was rewarded as the clouds momentarily parted and the ice assumed a brilliant glow just before the sun dipped below the tree-lined horizon. The image was desaturated a bit to help convey the moodiness of the cloudy sky while accenting the ice covering the rock.
My daughter Gaia loves playing this game ... probably because she always wins. I thought I was being strategic and clever by choosing 'rock' every time but she worked that out in an instant and kept 'papering' me. So now I won't play. So grown up.
My son plays lead guitar in the school rock band.He is the one doing the scissor kick to pump up his band mates and the audience. I have to admit, I was on an emotional high seeing him rocking out. After the show, it continued as people went out of their way to congratulate him on his performance. Then he went off to the USA directly from the show to see Bruce Springsteen with one his teachers.

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...

As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
Do you know what The Useless Machine is? Well, this is almost useless machine as The Useless Machine. I don't know why should anyone use this, but I am not so good with technic parts so I am experimenting. When you press one of three buttons on each side rock, paper or
scissors will pop up.

Here 's another angle of what this Cap Rock looks like. As you can see the support from the giant boulder below is not very assuring. Maybe I am missing something from the backside of it. I just cannot tell from any angle. As I know, there have been fatalities of rock slide in Yosemite over the years. Joshua Tree being so close to the major earthquake faults makes me uncomfortable standing right next to that boulder. Who knows how long Cap Rock would stand. At least I 've captured a few photos of it. I am glad that I have photographed Wall Arch at Arches National Park on my first visit many years ago. A few years later, that arch simply collapsed under its own weight.

Just returned from a wonderful trip to South Africa where I had the absolute pleasure of guiding the photographical game-drives for a group of very special people at Marataba Game Reserve in South Africa.
Those of you that know me a bit longer here on Flickr, know that I simply can't resist a Lilac Breasted Roller. Especially not when it flies against the backdrop of the beautiful Waterberg Mountains..
So there's rock, and a Roller..

It's the start of a Rock and Drill concert! You know it'll be great because the background has what looks like a hurricane icon. Look to the right of the guitar to find it.

Our ranger guide told us this sandstone outcrop was called "Sacrifice Rock". We thought someone had been sacrificed there in the past. It turned out that was just the park rangers' imagination when they got bored in the field.
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.

My plan for today was to wait for the proposed grey weather to roll in that should co-inside with a mid afternoon high tide.. then head to Clevedon seafront for a couple of long exposure (mono) shots.
On arrival, the seafront was full of sailing boats, marine lake was full of canoes.
Plan two! a quick trip to Black Nore Point..
Enjoy the rest of the weekend! :-)
This "Camel Rock" is one of the famous natural landmarks of Cappadocia in Turkey, often featured in travel articles or posters. Compare it against the 2 adjacent camel pics in my photostream, the resemblance to the animal in terms of form and colour is quite apparent!
Tower Rock is an erosional remnant left as a result of Mississippi River channel shifts. The rock is composed of limestone of the Devonian period formed some 400 million years ago. Surrounding softer rocks were eroded away by the Mississippi River leaving the rock which stands about 60 feet above the average river level.
Tower Rock, also known as Grand Tower, is a rock formation and landmark island in the Mississippi River, in Brazeau Township, Perry County, Missouri, near the town of Wittenberg, Missouri, and across the river from Grand Tower, Illinois.
Tower Rock has also been dubbed with many names over the centuries: Cap de Roche, Cap St. Croix la Tour, La Roche de la Croix, Rock of St. Cosme, Castle Rock and Devil's Tower.[2]
The earliest mention by Europeans of this island is by French missionary Jacques Marquette in 1673:
"...we found ourselves at a river called ouaboukigou, The mouth of which is at the 36th degree of latitude. Before reaching it, we passed by a Place that is dreaded by the Savages, because they believe that a manitou is there, — that is to say, a demon, — that devours travelers; and The savages, who wished to divert us from our undertaking, warned us against it. This is the demon: there is a small cove, surrounded by rocks 20 feet high, into which The whole Current of the river rushes; and, being pushed back against the waters following It, and checked by an Island near by, the Current is Compelled to pass through a narrow Channel. This is not done without a violent Struggle between all these waters, which force one another back, or without a great din, which inspires terror in the savages...."
Another early mention of the rock was by French-Canadian seminarian priests: fathers Montigny, Davion and St. Cosme, who planted a cross on the rock in 1698.[3]
A ridge directly across the river from the island is named Devil's Backbone.
Meriwether Lewis mentions the island in his journals, stating that rivermen who passed the rock would celebrate in a way similar to sailors crossing the equator, by raising a drink of spirits.
Lutherans from Germany considered this island their Plymouth Rock, for here they landed, after seeking a place where they could practice religious freedom.
In a Nov. 6, 2003, article in the Southern Illinoisan newspaper, Mike Keeley, manager of the Tower Rock National Historic Site for the Missouri Department of Conservation, said that it's possible to walk out to Tower Rock every year or so because of low water levels on the river
