Roche Rock (Cornish: An Garrek) stands out as a rocky outcrop some 20 metres (66 ft) high on the northern flank of the St Austell granite with an approximate area of 600 metres (2,000 ft) x 300 metres (980 ft).)[4] The rock is of interest to geologists as it is a fine example of quartz shorl; a fully tourmalinised granite, with black tourmaline crystals. The Rock itself lies approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) north of the northern margin of the St Austell granite, which is the smallest of the five main apophyses of the Hercynian batholith of Southwest England. The presence of numerous pegmatites occurring as sheets and containing abundant miarolitic cavities carrying quartz, tourmaline, zinnwaldite, topaz. and a wide range of other phases, is why it is considered to have been close to the roof of the intrusion[5] The site is considered to be of prime importance for future research and notification by English Nature as a geological SSSI occurred in 1991.[6]
On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel (dedicated to St Michael) which is said to have been the abode of a leper or a monk. An 1881 description of the chapel, still had a considerable portion of the masony standing and one or two windows were faily perfect, although the steps up to the chapel are roughly cut. Roche Rock has many folk-lore tales associated with it, the two most famous being the legend of Jan Tregeagle, a 17th-century magistrate, who after death found refuge in the chapel and the other being part of the Tristan and Iseult tale.[7]
Morro Rock is a volcanic plug in Morro Bay, California. This was shot from a distance with the 55-210 mm zoom lens' biggest end. The weather was rainy and windy on the entire coast.

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.

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.

The Bass Rock, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the East of Scotland.
Lying two miles offshore from the town of North Berwick it's famous as the home to a very large colony of gannets.
With more than 150,000 Northern gannets it's the world's largest colony.
The white colour of the rock in my photo is almost entirely that of the birds and many more are in the sky at any time.
One of things I loved most about Montserrat was it rocky peaked location.
I like rock, I have pieces of rock throughout my home, mainly from Georgian Bay. Come to think of it, I have a lot of rocks.

How exciting is the news of Flickr being bought by Smug Mug? I thought I'd celebrate with this image from Sugarloaf Rock which is a panoramic shot that would normally work on that other popular social media network...
Hope you enjoy!
Rock is a beautiful tomcat beloning to my contact Maria, "SunStones" from Arizona. He's had some serious health issues very recently but I'm hoping he's back to normal now.
We go back to the summer of 1978 and long time friend Steve Smedley & i have are gas petal to the floor ready to chase this train into the city to Roosevelt Rd yard near La Salle St station.Following this train along the Dan Ryan Express was wild and was able to catch one more shot near the Robert Taylor homes 49th st
I always love the way mosses and lichens colonise rocks. This was another find on our walk in Attadale.
Had never seen black moss before though ... no idea what it is!
Golden Rock, situated on a mountain top, is a big granite boulder that precariously balances on the edge of a cliff with a small pagoda built on the top. This is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. The rock is covered with gold leaves pasted on by Buddhist devotees, however only men are allowed to touch and paste gold leaves onto the surface.
Getting up there is not easy and only designated trucks are allowed to drive up. The ground where Golden Rock is situated is no shoes and socks allowed. It was a long walk, approximately a mile to get to the Golden Rock. Walking bare feet was very difficult, since the ground was dirty, stick and rough at times … but after all, it was fortunate for us to witness such a spiritual site that so many have made it their once in a lifetime journey to come here.

Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad) IS the engine that took the original Grand Funk Railroad, one of rock music’s most successful groups, to the top of the charts. As their lead vocalist, lead guitarist and principle songwriter the group made a beeline to rock stardom following their show-stealing performance before 180,000 people at the Atlanta International Pop Festival in 1969. Due in no small part to Mark's strong and steady vocals, mastery of guitar and stage charisma, Grand Funk was one of those very few bands who really was better live than in the studio, so it was no surprise when their Grand Funk Live Album reached the Top Five. However, all of this paled in comparison to the group's sold out performance at New York's 55,000-seat Shea Stadium in 1971. Not since The Beatles had any group sold out Shea and GFR still holds the record. In 1995, Mark accepted an invitation to join Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band where his show-stealing, footstompin' performances made it clear that audiences were still hungry for Mark and Grand Funk's music. Even after 40 years on the road, some sort of magical transformation takes place when Mark Farner steps on stage. Out of a chrysalis emerges this charismatic alter-ego sprinkled with stardust. When Mark's on stage he's the consummate, professional rocker who's lost none of his chops. His voice is still clear, strong and on key, his guitar playing slick and lightening quick and his trademark prancing still that of a spring chicken. 30 million records sold...Mark's train keeps a rollin'. - (FYI: Mark is 71 years young)

Balanced Rock is one of the most popular features of Arches National Park, situated in Grand County, Utah, United States. Balanced Rock is located next to the park's main road, at about 9 miles (14.5 km) from the park entrance.
The total height of Balanced Rock is about 128 feet (39 m), with the balancing rock rising 55 feet (16.75 m) above the base. The big rock on top is the size of three school buses. Until recently, Balanced Rock had a companion - a similar, but much smaller balanced rock named "Chip Off The Old Block", which fell during the winter of 1975/1976.
Balanced Rock can be seen from the park's main road. There is also a short loop trail leading around the base of the rock.
