We have been in Norfolk for a few days but wandered down to Durdle Door on a rather convoluted trip home. Luckily enough the weather was great for a bit of coast walking.
This is Butter Rock which is a little way down the beach from the famous Durdle Door rock arch.

Looks a little like a ham shank :-) Even Flickr thinks it's edible as automatic tag of food came up :-)
This little fella is well fluffed out against the cold at Girdleness Point in Aberdeen. I'm trying out the new lens and thought I'd start on this Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus) .. not the clearest and think I need more practice at these long lengths .. but it's a start!

For this weeks Macro Mondays theme of "Pastel" I decided, as I am on holiday this week in a Haven caravan park, to photograph some Rock from the on site shop and turn them into pastel colours.
I hadn't shot with Pastel colours in mind before and a little research hinted that slight over exposure was common so I shot with this in mind taking a neutral meter exposure and also an exposure biased towards +1 stop for each subject I tried.
I googled Pastel colour actions and downloaded a set and installed them. Then after taking a few images I tried some of the presents to find one I liked.
some worked better than others with different images and eventually I settled on the one here.
The colours (from the top) Purple, Green, Yellow, Orange, White and Pink
Another one from Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. I wasn't going to post this since it doesn't look like much in the postage stamp size, but I like it so if you look at the large size you can seen the details of the lichen on the rock. I might have had to jump the safety fence on the bluff to get low enough to get this so don't tell anybody.
The sun managed to break through the cloudy sky to give some rich color to enhance the Needles and Haystack rock stacks near Cannon Beach, Oregon.

As I make my way further along southern edge of the 'horseshoe' which runs around the valley of Grinds Brook, these rock stacks, sculpted by weather and winds, look out over the green valley and hills of the Pennines.
Wherever there are rocks on a coastline, you will almost certainly find Rock Pipits. A bit more abundant and widespread during winter they are largely absent from the gentle southeastern coasts during breeding
Felsengruppe Panská skála
Panská skála (Pańska Skała) lub Varhany (niem. Herrenhausfelsen) – charakterystyczne wzgórze z wychodnią bazaltu, w północnych Czechach, znajdujące się w okolicy Kamienickiego Szeniowa w Czechach, na terenie kraju libereckiego.
Pańska Skała to pagórek o wysokości 595 m n.p.m., zlokalizowany około 500 metrów na południe od szosy Kamenický Šenov – Nový Bor. Przy szosie, w rejonie wzniesienia, urządzony jest duży parking z zapleczem socjalnym (parkowanie płatne). Nazwa formacji pochodzi z dosłownego tłumaczenia dawnej nazwy niemieckiej – Herrenhausfelsen.
Bazalt powstał w trzeciorzędzie, około 30 milionów lat temu, w wyniku działalności wulkanicznej. Ocenia się, że lawa wypływała z komory wulkanicznej z głębokości większej niż 30 km. Prawdopodobnie nie dotarła do powierzchni ziemi, ale zastygła w kominie wulkanicznym. Później, w wyniku erozji i denudacji otaczających skał, został on wypreparowany w formie neku. W sztucznym odsłonięciu dawnego kamieniołomu bazaltu widać doskonale wykształcone słupy bazaltowe.
Pańska Skała jest najstarszym w Czechach rezerwatem geologicznym i jednocześnie jednym z najstarszych tego typu założeń w Europie. Pierwsze formy ochrony pojawiły się w 1878 r.

The formation originated in the tertiary when the lava flow solidified. Below the rock is a small lake.
