County Tipperary, Ireland
According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel.
Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century.
The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
this large rock used to be underwater, but has been rolled onto the beach by storms. Its surface is pitted with holes made by rock-boring sea urchins (Echinometra mathaei).
Another in a series of driftwood from the Washington Coast and the inspiration the lines give me to understanding Native American Art.
Rock Sphere grinding. This is a three axis rock grinder. The idea is that all three motors rotate at varying speeds. Each motor has a steel grinder at the end. Each grinder is impregnated with diamonds. The person here is adding more grit abrasive. This process takes a long time. Sometimes it take over two or three days of continuous grinding to finish a sphere. Once polished, they are beautiful specimens.

Carmel, Louisiana..............
Construction on the Rock Chapel began in 1891 by monks who lived in the nearby Carmelite monastery. Stones from the surrounding area were joined together with mud plaster. The walls were painted with frescoes and the ceiling with murals done by two monks from France. The Chapel was used as a retreat for the monks. It also was a site for weddings, Easter services, and other celebrations. Unfortunately a decline began due to the death of the monks, poverty, fire, and the closure of the Carmelite convent. It fell into disrepair until 1959 when the priest of Carmel-Rambin Churches advocated restoration of the Chapel. Renovation was completed with a dedication service Sunday, June 4, 1961
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.
Rock Legends Cruise V - Facebook Photo - January 20th, 2017:
This shot was taken for the Rock Legends Cruise V Facebook Page photo/banner. How do you get 100+ people to pose and smile? Like this! LOL All passengers were invited to attend and be in it and we were the 100+ that showed up! It was early morning before breakfast and before the very first concert of the day at 10:00 AM on the main pool-deck stage behind us. (I am standing behind my wife Laura in the tangerine top at the bottom-left corner). This photo was taken by the ship's photographer with a fish-eye lens and down-loaded from their website with their permission. Was fun! Glad we were a part of it.

This pebbly beach on the SW coast of Cyprus is a pleasant enough spot. It is supposed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love (also the same lady who was Venus to the Romans).
There are two tales to tell that I find amusing.
Firstly, I had to wait some time to take this photo. An enormously obese young lady in a bikini was draping herself over the rock in the bottom right corner, posing and pouting whilst her equally huge mother took endless photos. I was mentally giggling at the comparison to classical ideas of the beautiful Aphrodite emerging from the waves (e.g. Botticelli's Birth of Venus).
Secondly, the place is heavily promoted as a tourist destination. Fair enough, no problem there. But little mention is made of the origins of Aphrodite. Cronus castrated his father (Uranus) with a giant sickle and threw his testicles into the sea. Her ladyship emerged from the resulting foam. I saw no mention castration or testicles hereabouts.
Ellora is an archaeological site, 29 km (18 mi) North-West of the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra, built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty. Well known for its monumental caves.
Ellora is a World Heritage Site. Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 caves– actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century.

Recently restored by the Kohler Foundation, the Hartman Rock Garden is one of the most intriguing and revered works of in situ folk art, an outsider art phenomena where self-taught artists construct fascinating worlds out of concrete, metal, stone, and whatever else they can find.
Ben Hartman liked to work in the backyard. It was the Depression, and paid work was scarce, so he put his time, and not a little money, into a series of sculptures and tableaus that came to be known as the Hartman Historical Rock Garden. There's a castle along the back fence, a Last Supper, the Liberty Bell, Valley Forge and Columbus' birthplace. Ben the younger remembers it as a yard that was hard to mow around, but one that is definitely in a class of its own.

Red Rock Canyon State Park is located 120 miles north of Los Angeles on Highway #14. It features colorful buttes, cliffs, and valleys. However, there is only one campground inside the park, and it is operated on a first-come basis. Winter, spring, and fall are the ideal times to visit as summer temperatures often rise above 100 degrees.
