Title should be self evident and I cannot help but think of Queen's song 'We Will Rock You' :) just a seascape photo to enjoy taken on the same beach as 'Sea of Thoughts' before high tide near Knysna (Brenton-on-Sea)...

During my recent day out in Kent, I met a birder altering me to a hoopoe that had been sited in Margate. Despite being given a definite location, I could not find the bird, but instead drove up to the sea wall by the harbour and found a pair of Rock Pipits that were well illuminated by the late afternoon sun.
These birds were quite obliging, as was the previous example I photographed a few years ago. That one was in June, before the annual moult that takes place in August or September.
Photographed just behind the Turner Contemporary art gallery.

Inside the Crosville garage at Rock Ferry on 20th March 1977 are Lodekka BFM433B and driver training Lodekka XFM201.
This is wintertime in Sedona. The bare trees will be bursting forth before long. The view here is looking up Oak Creek with Cathedral Rock in the background.
I did this for Christmas to give to my godfather. The man is a color-blind person and I wanted to give to him a doll we can both see the same way. Of course, I didn't make the hair, but I sew the dress, repainted the eyes and the lips and did the gloves and the face design.
The original doll was a Bratz Rock Angelz Jade.
There have been a lot of changes going on with my normal routine lately. Since purchasing a house and moving out of a tiny apartment, I'm now living 45 minutes from the beach instead of 25 minutes. Regardless though, a little extra distance isn't enough to keep me away from something I love so much. California's coast is undoubtedly some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and I'm on a mission to photography it all, from San Diego on the south end to to Pelican State Beach below the Oregon border.
On this evening I continued my trek into south Laguna to a little place called Table Rock Beach. Some photographers guard their photo locations like its the holy grail, which I think is freakin' absurd. This beach is located off of Table Rock Drive and Pacific Coast Highway. You won't find it on the map when searching for Table Rock Beach, but I assure you it's there and there are signs at its entrance to let you know you're in the right place. Don't bother trying to park on Table Rock Drive. You'll need to park on Coast Highway and walk. Like many beaches throughout Laguna, there are a lot of steps you need to go down (and unfortunately back up) to get to it. Be sure you're in good shape before going because your legs are going to thank you for this, and by thank I mean scream what the heck were you thinking, by the time you get back up to your car.
Surprisingly, this is the first shot I fired off that evening. After I loaded my photos from this session into lightroom, I briefly glanced at the others and rejected the whole rest of the set. This was supposed to be my initial test shot to see what settings I wanted to use and I nailed it on the first try. All I did was I mounted my reverse graduated neutral density filter onto my lens, set my aperture to f18 to capture the sun star, and fired off a shot at 1/60th of a second. Later that evening the cloud formations mostly disappeared making the available light and the sky look rather dull. Photography is so much about being in the right place at the right time that it makes the camera gear secondary. You can have the most expensive gear money can buy but if you don't put yourself in front of beautiful scenery, you're still going to capture dull photographs.
"Rock Strangers" by Arne Quinze (BEL)
location: Sea promenade near Zeeheldenplein, Oostende, Belgium
(Beaufort12)
Arne Quinze developed a set of sculptures for the city of Ostend by the name of Rock Strangers. Strange objects that pop up at locations where you would least expect them, such as on the renewed Zeeheldenplein, the city's hotspot. It looks as if they have been washed ashore. Their bright orange color is in sharp contrast with their natural environment and has a strange effect. Rock Strangers forms a colorful accent in an otherwise fairly neutral, urban environment. With the huge metal installation, Quinze wants to offer a counterbalance to the increasingly strong uniformity in urban design. He also wants to penetrate the safe cocoon that people build around themselves in the city. Strange elements appear and contribute to a multicultural society.

I thought it was interesting to confront these red, twisted 'Rock Strangers' that were installed in 2012 at the seafront promenade with the black (one day greenish) meteorite-like block "At the Mercy of Nature (Sisyphus Part X)" by Marius Ritiu.
Different techniques, different intentions, different story - and yet, a somewhat similar, out of this world, appearance.

Southern #4501 is northbound at Rock Spring, Georgia, with the "Summerville Steam Special."
4501 was the first steam locomotive my wife experienced, two weeks after we were married, in June 1974, on a trip from Cincinnati to Lexington.
I took quite a few bracketed shots of downtown Little Rock but I just couldn’t mess with this one. It looked too good as is. I had the camera set to monochrome and this came SOOC. I will post some HDR shots of the city when I have time to process them. Have a nice weekend!

(Mickey smacks Kramer on the hand for losing)
Kramer: I thought paper covered rock?
Mickey: Nah, rock flies right through paper.
Kramer: What beats rock?
Mickey: (looks at his hand) Nothing beats rock.
Kramer: All right come on.

NKP #765 rolls by 16th Street Tower with the afternoon run of the Joliet Rocket. For the second year in a row, #765 makes some noise at the 16th Street diamonds as it arrives LaSalle Street Station.
At one point in time, the NIckel Plate had its own terminal at the corner of Clark and Roosevelt before moving into LaSalle Street Station at the start of the 20th Century.
