Thanks Birds & Wildlife UK, Sandi & Dave. It appears its a Rock Pipet.
"Marsden Rock is a rock in Tyne and Wear, North East England, situated in Marsden, South Shields. It is overlooked by the Marsden Grotto. The rock is a 90 feet (27 m) sea stack of Magnesian Limestone which lies approximately 300 feet (91 m) off the main cliff face. It was formerly known for its naturally-formed arch. The arch collapsed in 1996 following a winter of storms creating two separate stacks. The smaller of the two was demolished in 1997 due to safety concerns. The remaining stack is reachable on foot during low tide but is completely surrounded by water at high tide. The cliffs surrounding Marsden Rock are an important breeding ground for seabirds and colonies can often be seen on top of the rock itself, including kittiwakes, herring gulls, and razorbills."
My brother was much more adventurous at rock hopping than me - better balance, footwear and not a DSLR around his neck!
As a Suburban line trains reverses east to put itself away in Metra's yard at Blue Island a train for Joliet tears west under one of at least 5 searchlight cantilevers in a 2 mile stretch. Also seen peeking out from between the twin through trusses is an outbound Illinois Central Electric Blue Island branch train.
The Sliding Rock is located next to US-276 and this 40 ft falls attracts a lot of tourists. See the people lined up waiting to slide down. Looks like it's really fun!

That is the name of the rock formation so called by Navajo legend...it has nothing to do with Marvel Comics and Spiderman..lol
The formation is in the easternmost part of the southern canyon in Canyon De Chelly, in Chinle, AZ...roughly half way between Page and Flagstaff AZ. Canyon De Chelly is a forked canyon with a southern and northern canyon, There is a winding asphalt park road that travels up both sides of the 2 canyon rims. A fairly strenuous dirt path starts several miles back and descends to the 'White House' Anasazi ruins, but other than that path, there is no other access to the canyon, except by Navajo guides at the western entrance. There are a number of Anasazi ruins here as well as a colorful historical record. It starts out on level ground near Chinle, and gets progressively deeper as it cuts through the ascending plateau...Spider woman rock is a bit over 800 feet tall...and yes, you can walk right up to the edge of the canyon...there are no safety rails or nets.
Early morning finds MRL's Silver Cloud speeding east on the long tangent between Rock Creek and Bonita. The train operated between Missoula and Butte to attend a Montana economic summit.
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)

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!!!

"WHAT'S THAT?" Danger Ted demanded, keeking out from his winter hibernation quarters in his Big Pal's jacket .
"What's what?"
"That scary thing over there with the HUGE teeth."
"Oh that, DT. that's just a rock that the people in Millport paint to look like a big crocodile."
"A rock painted like a crocodile! And why, BP, was I not informed of this?"
"To tell you the truth, DT, I was wondering why you had never demanded to see it before."
"INVESTIGATE AT ONCE!"
Once he had decided that the Crocodile Rock was not scary a all, Danger Ted insisted on enacting a daring "saving a damsel bear in distress" scenario.

RI #194's train one mile east of Reinbeck, IA on 12-3-1978 coming out of the cut known as 'The Bluffs.'
The Bass Rock sits in the Firth of Forth, near North Berwick, home to thousands of Gannets, it has a long history as a prison, a beacon of light for sailors and now a bird reserve, the white on it you see is a mix of Gannets and their droppings...the photo is a bit noisy but what the hell it was taken with the zoom full out with shaky hands.
