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.

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.

This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?
Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.
And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!
Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!
P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
Such a wonderful morning that was there under the stars and moon as day was slowly getting its start there in Arches.

"It’s yet another of the relatives of hibiscus, and it doesn’t take a botanical wizard to believe it. Rock rose (Pavonia lasiopetala) has the flower style and leaf shape to convince you. But unlike the more flamboyant tropical hibiscus and mallows, rock rose flowers are smaller, only up to a couple of inches. They’re a deep rose pink, and they’re borne over a long period of time from late spring well into the fall."

The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.
I had a lot of photography planned for the weekend, I was going to visit a few places in Wales, and then a few in Dorset. But on Wednesday I was hit with a rather nasty bout of the lurgy and didn't have the energy to do anything. So I decided to have a few days rest and not venture out with the camera.
On my way home from Dorset yesterday I stopped at Portland hoping for a decent sunset. it was extremely windy and the sunset was pretty decent so I managed to get a few photos from the visit.
My first shot is of Pulpit Rock, an old favourite, as it's such fun watching the waves crash up here. We couldn't get down to the bottom level last night as we'd have gotten soaked, and there were people silly enough to be out on the rock when some huge waves were crashing over, so we sat higher up and tried our best to get a decent shot.

Long exposure that was meant to be a moody overcast black and white but the sun came out half way through!

Another of the fabulous roadside attractions in Capitol Reef National Park, Chimney Rock is formed by the convoluted strata of sandstones of the Moenkopi Formation deposited when the area was a tidal flat 240 MYA, capped by the light colored sandstone of the Chinle Formation that were deposited by rivers 210 MYA. The buttresses at the bottom are made up of the eroded sediments washed out of the Moenkopi, molded by the magical forces of water and wind, graced with a few sandstone boulders from collapsed caprock.
