Trees and brush and red rock stretching toward the horizon
This was a day of travel and establishing a new "home base" with a different group of friends. It began at a national park campground, involved a bit of driving on paved and unpaved roads, and ended at a rustic "camp site" close to 50 miles out on a gravel track. We arrived and spent a bit of time settling in, getting our camp for the next few days organized, and later each of us spent a bit of time wandering the nearby hills and "tuning up" our vision for the coming photographic work.
That evening we wanted to photograph something, but at this late hour and following a somewhat busy day our goal had to be a bit modest. So we loaded ourselves into vehicles and drove back up the road a bit to a spot with impressive red rock hills and walked up onto the sandstone slabs. There was much to see and photograph, and the light varied between overcast and that nearly perfect light that shines through thin clouds late in the day. As we climbed higher into these hills I stopped at this spot to take in the long view across curved sandstone terrain toward the farther reaches of the valley, as early evening sun slanted across rocks and vegetation.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum located on the shores of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States, dedicated to recording the history of some of the best-known and most influential artists, producers, and other people who have in some major way influenced the music industry, particularly in the area of rock music. The museum is part of the city's redeveloped North Coast Harbor.
The Arkansas and Oklahoma Railroad operates a segment of the old Rock Island Railroad’s Choctaw route in the namesake Native American nation. Like many farm country lines, operations vary day-to-day, particularly since much of the road’s revenue comes from storing cars. On this day, I found two of the road’s 4 GP35s at work moving a string of unit coal cars from Hawthorn to McAlester, then picking up hoppers from an industry outside of town. This duo were acquired in 2024 to replace a trio of B40-8Ws. They were repainted in late 2024 from their ATSF paint into the ‘Rocket’ scheme, and lettered early this year. AOK joins Iowa Interstate and Rock Island Rail in operating multiple Rock Island heritage schemes.

Spotted at Lake Ba near glencoe
The glen is U-shaped, formed by an ice age glacier, about 16 km (9.9 mi) long with the floor of the glen being less than 700 m (0.4 miles) wide, narrowing sharply at the Pass of Glen Coe about half way along.
The entrance to the glen from above is on Rannoch Moor to the east, below the mountain of Meall a' Bhuiridh; Glen Etive runs to the south from nearby. The entrance to Glen Coe is marked by Buachaille Etive Mor, "the great herdsman of Etive" at the 'junction' with Glen Etive. Glen Coe then runs roughly west for about 12 km (7.5 mi) before turning north-west towards Loch Leven.
The south side of the glen is marked by a succession of distinct peaks: Buachaille Etive Mòr is followed to the west by Buachaille Etive Beag, then by the Three Sisters, shoulders of the Bidean nam Bian massif which itself marks the western end of the glen. By contrast the north side of the glen is a stark wall of mountain, the Aonach Eagach ridge. The Ridge is crossed at the eastern end by the Devil's Staircase, an old military road opposite Buachaille Etive Mòr. The western end terminates with the conical Pap of Glencoe (Sgùrr na Cìche), above Glencoe village, at the point where the glen opens out to Loch Leven.
The River Coe itself — Ossian's "dark Cona" — rises at the north-eastern base of Buachaille Etive Beag and flows west along the glen, with dramatic waterfalls at the Pass of Glen Coe. It then runs through the small Loch Achtriochtan before it turns north west. It then passes through Glencoe village, shortly before flowing into the sea loch of Loch Leven (a salt-water arm of Loch Linnhe) at Invercoe. Loch Achtriochtan is Loch Trychardan (three friends or relatives) in Timothy Pont's map of the area. In the glen to the east of Buachaille Etive Beag, the River Coupall runs north to the head of the glen, but it swings east round the Buachaille Etive Mòr to join the River Etive running south.
Geologically-speaking, Glen Coe is the remains of an ancient supervolcano that erupted with a force of VEI-8.[citation needed] It is considered to be one of the best examples of Cauldron subsidence. The eruption happened about 420 million years ago during the Silurian period, and the volcano has long since become extinct. The landscape was further shaped by the processes of glaciation during the last ice age, 10,000 years ago.[

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
As we were traveling southward on US-191, I suggested we drive to Looking Glass Rock, even though it wasn't on "The Plan" (it was a moment of weakness). Judging by the name and descriptions I had read, I thought it would be interesting. Jim drove down the dirt road until we could see a large rock formation in the distance. As we approached it, we couldn’t help but wonder why this rock would attract attention (see comment below). Disappointed, we were ready to turn around but Jim decided to go a bit farther to get a look at the other side. We were glad he did because there, only visible from behind, was a hole completely through the rock. With the evening sun on the back side and dark clouds in the opposite direction, the rock appeared a brilliant orange.
This one really shows up in light box.
A full-length shot of Rock House in Hocking Hills State Park near Logan, Ohio. We patiently waited on the (very nice) crowd to leave the cave for a 30 second exposure. The colors in the black hand sandstone cave were fantastic.
This volcanic landscape with basalt columns, and lava rocks is part of the Chain Walk in Elie. More of a scramble than a walk, and you have to time the tides right to gain access.
Ancient Sagalassos....is an active archaeological site in southwest Turkey which contains mostly Hellenistic and Ancient Roman historic ruins, some of them very well preserved. In particular, the Fountain of Antoninler at Sagalassos still has its pretty facade. There are also the remains of a 9,000 seat theatre, a council hall (bouleuterion), a library, rock carved tombs, temples and baths. Part of the Phrygian kingdom from the ninth century BC and then part of the Lydian kingdom, Sagalassos became more urbanized under the Persian Empire from 546BC, becoming a focal point in the region of Pisidia over the course of two centuries. In 334BC, Alexander the Great arrived in the region and attacked Sagalassos, eventually succeeding in destroying it, although its citizens did put up a good fight. Over the coming centuries, the Pisidia region - including Sagalassos - changed hands several times, finally coming under Roman rule in 129BC. The prosperity of Sagalassos fluctuated over the end of the first century BC, but slowly it became more successful, particularly because of the fertility of its land and the production of a material called Sagalassos Red Slip Ware, a type of tableware. Much of this affluence translated into the construction of buildings and monuments, especially during the second century AD, under Hadrian, and up to the third century. Sagalassos began to fall into decline in around 500AD and this was accelerated by a devastating earthquake in 590AD. Although abandoned for a long period of time, the area was further inhabited from the tenth century AD.
Bom depois de muito tempo , toyzinho q acabei pra presentear um Brody meu...Feito em Super Sculpey ....
Muitos projetos em andamento , logo volto postar aqui :) abrasss
One of the stops, from my trip this past weekend, was Cannon Beach, Oregon. This is a picture of Haystack Rock. Shot with the sony A7riii and the Olympus OM 35mm lens.
I know, I know... more wool? Yes. I've got too much in my bag now that I just haven't been using. That same tunnel? Absolutely. And another double exposure? Yes, of course. They make the wool more fun. At least I think that's what { tcb } said.... I think custom white balance adds funness too.
The first try, I forgot to zoom out of the wall when I shifted the camera for the wool. Holy unfocused brightness.
Painting class was cancelled tonight so I may go for Day 6 in a row of light painting. Can one light paint too much?
An interesting example of rocks (perhaps sedimentary?) that have undergone compression and folding. If they are indeed sedimentary rocks, each layer would have been deposited horizontally, so over time they've been raised into the vertical as well as apparently undergoing compression and finer folding as well. Any geologists care to comment? The formation as seen is about 3m high.
Katy Pedley's explanation below details the interesting background to these rocks. I'm not sure whether they've survived the November 2016 earthquake that so badly affected Kaikoura.
This chap was about to descend over the side of Millstone Edge in the Peak District before the rain came over - which it did about 5 minutes after he went over.
going through some archives, getting excited for the climbing season...
here, part of the inside of the northeast summit crater rim of mt. st. helens, rising out of the clouds. the colors in the rock were unexpected and outstanding.
Just a cover i wanted to make with this pic

A BNSF freight follows Amtrak 28 east through the Columbia River Gorge, crossing the bridge and fill over Rock Cove just west of Stevenson, WA on the Fallbridge Sub. The distant mountains are shrouded in haze from the numerous fires which were burning in the region at this time.
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.
