Next to a chapel dating back to the C8th, these rock cut graves are unique in Britain and not easy to date. They stand on the edge of the cliff overlooking Morecambe Bay.
I had lots of time driving up Cottonwood Canyon road, so I took the opportunity to investigate an unmarked turnoff. It led to a flat area with what appeared to be blocks of rock sitting on the ground, scattered randomly over an area maybe 100 ft x 100 ft. Because they were all more or less the same height and shape, I thought that they had been placed there. They were roughly 2 to 3 feet on a side. On the other hand, they seemed to go down below the surface of the ground.
One particular block caught my eye because it was glowing on its side. On closer examination, I saw that this was a reflection of sunlight from an adjacent horizontal slab.
The whole thing was kind of mysterious.
Chimney Rock, an icon of Capitol Reef National Park, is a popular tourist stop right off the highway. Indian Rice Grass is illuminated by late afternoon sunlight. Utah, USA.
I've shot this formation dozens of times. I believe my best photos come from two different circumstances, one being complete serendipity where I just stumble across a scene with great, well..., everything. The other circumstance is a long developed relationship with a subject from visiting the spot several, several times, in different light, different angles, different seasons, with different gear and different ideas. This particular image definitely falls into the latter category. After dozens of images on several visits and lots of walking I finally found a suitable foreground and a suitable time of day to shoot it.
Another interesting thing about this photo is when i framed it, i just knew it was "instinctually" good, meaning, I saw it, framed it, liked it, took it. Technically I didn't know why. It wasn't until I got home and downloaded it that I saw the diagonal right line of rice grass leading to the rockslide which slants up left in line with the back spine of the formation right up to the top. I was happy that my instinctual vision of what's pleasing has some technical merit to it.

When the pilgrims landed at what would become Plymouth, Massachusetts they stepped off their ship, the Mayflower and onto this rock, which bears the year they disembarked, 1620. Previously they had landed at what would become Provincetown, but they couldn't make a go of it there. Here they found foodstores left by local Indians, many of whose villeges had been decimated by diseases they caught from the first Europeans they encountered, Portuguese fishermen.
This was as close as I could get to the rock, which is roped off to prevent visitors from carving off a chunk.

Slieve Bearnagh from the Irish “Sliabh Bearna” meaning “Gapped Mountain” gets its name from its two giant rocky tors and the col lying between them. It is the 4th highest in the range and another 700m+ peak carrying the Mourne Wall with saddles at Pollaphuca to the West and Hares Gap to the East.

I'm always in my element when faced with all kinds of rocky features to point a lens at. There's no shortage of great rocks in Pembrokeshire.

Rock is a coastal fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is opposite Padstow on the northeast bank of the River Camel estuary. The village is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands about 4 miles (6.4 km) north west of Wadebridge.
The main residential area is set back from the coast along the road from Pityme and St Minver. To the northeast, Rock is contiguous with the settlements of Splatt and Pityme. Stoptide is a southern extension of Rock. Rock is best known for its estuary frontage. To the northwest, the road runs beside the estuary as a cul de sac giving access to the ferry boarding point and an intertidal beach backed by sand dunes which at low water extend for two miles past Brea Hill to Daymer Bay. To the south is the small coastal settlement of Porthilly with St Michael's Church situated on the bank of Porthilly Cove.
Rock Ptarmigan (Raicho) in Mt. Tateyama, Toyama. I had to hike all the way up to 2800m but was well worth it.
