Trying to capture the vibe here. Unfortunately, I didn't take a shot from afar to show the overall shape of this great rock formation. Some general info >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Rock,_Victoria
It's a popular area for tourists and locals and an interesting venue for concerts, and hosts two race meetings a year. Then there's the film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' of course. Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen both performed here.
Sheep Rock, one of the landmarks in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Grant County (National Park Service photo, negative no. 370). -- www.oregongeology.org/sub/learnmore/Placestosee/SheepRock...
Below a cap of erosion-resistant basalt, eroded channels lead down throught 1,000 ft of ancient volcanic ash to the John Day River. This ash, now turned to claystone, contains the fossils of plants and animals from 25 million years ago. --

This rock was named the Virgin Rock by early explorers, who could see an image of the Virgin Mary and child in the rock. Weathering has now faded the shape of the child, yet the Virgin Mary is still distinguishable. The local community has installed lights that come on at night and highlight the rock and its features.
Pillar Rock is a shattered rock tower in the Lake District National Park. It rises out of the north face of a mountain called Pillar and its resemblance to a mighty column is particularly striking when it is viewed from the north, down in the valley of Ennerdale (“Valley of a Man Called Anundr”). Pillar Rock may be divided into three main sections. The southernmost buttress, closest to Pillar, is called Pisgah (www.flickr.com/photos/67668518@N08/8509279851/in/photostream). It is separated from High Man (the highest part of the Rock and the section that is shown in this picture) by Jordan Gap. The Rock then slopes down to a lower buttress called Low Man, beyond which it plunges down into the depths of Ennerdale.
Pillar Rock is the only summit in the Lake District National Park that cannot be reached without recourse to rock climbing. The first recorded ascent was made in 1826 by John Atkinson, a shepherd from Croftfoot in Ennerdale. He used the “Old West Route” which is not particularly difficult and is only graded as Moderate. In 1870, a lady called Miss A. Barker also made the ascent and soon the Rock started to attract the pioneering climbers of that time. By 2007, more than 90 different routes had been established up to the summit and 17 of those are graded E1 or above. Nowadays most people make the ascent via the “Slab and Notch” route. This is the easiest route to the top and is only classified as a Grade 3 scramble. There are some sections of considerable exposure, however, and I would urge the inexperienced not to attempt this route without a rock climbing companion and also to take along a rope.
The picture shows hillwalkers at the start of the “Slab and Notch” route on the east face of Pillar Rock.
"Rock garden in Martha's house. Rocks gotten from 14 countries in Europe: also from many of our states."
That's a lot of rocks, Martha!
Ship Rock is the remains of the magma pipe of a volcano that erupted about 27 million years ago. The surrounding weak sandstone has eroded away, leaving the hard volcanic rock behind.
This huge rock raises over 1500 feet over the surrounding plain, and can be seen from many miles away – this picture was taken from over 3.5 miles away.
Ship Rock ist der Überrest eines Vulkanschlots. In den 27 Millionen Jahren seit dem Ausbruch des Vulkans erodierte das umgebende weiche Gestein weg, so dass das harte Vulkangestein übrig blieb.
Dieser riesige Felsen erhebt sich fast 500 m über die Umgebende Ebene, und kann aus vielen Kilometern Entfernung gesehen werden – dieses Bild wurde aus fast 6 Kilometern Entfernung aufgenommen.
A medium-sized buzzard-like raptor but still unmistakably eagle-shaped, with long fingered primary flight feathers, a long square-shaped tail, and feathered legs (boots) prominent when perched. Two color morphs: pale morphs are distinctively two-toned and contrasting, whereas dark birds can be confused with Black Kites and Marsh Harriers. Look for distinctive pale "landing lights" on the shoulders when viewed head-on. Found in forested country with open patches, often in hilly areas where it frequently soars with wings slightly pushed forward.

Rock of Ages - Sandra McCracken
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YO4fZUCQAw
Rock of Ages, when the day seems long
From this labor and this heartache, I have come
The skies will wear out, but you remain the same
Rock of Ages, I praise your name
Rock of Ages, you have brought me near
You have poured out your life-blood, your love, your tears
To make this stone heart come alive again
Rock of Ages, forgive my sin.
Chorus:
Rock of ages. Rock of ages.
Bind your children until the kingdom comes.
Rock of ages your will be done
Rock of Ages, when in want or rest,
My desperate need for such a Savior I confess
Pull these idols out from my heart embrace.
Rock of Ages, I need your grace.
Rock of Ages, broken scorned for me.
Who am I that you would die to make me free?
To give me glory, (you) took the death and pain.
Rock of Ages, my Offering.
Repeat Chorus
Rock of Ages, "It is done!" you cried.
The curtain's torn and I see justice satisfied
Now write your mercy, on my heart and hands.
Rock of ages, in faith I stand.
Rock of Ages, my great hope secure.
Your promise holds just like an anchor to my soul
Bind your children with cords of love and grace.
Rock of Ages, we give you praise.
Repeat Chorus.

I went to scout out some areas for later photo sessions today. My travels took me to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically to Rock Point Provincial Park, just South-East of Dunnville, Ontario. The point is aptly named, as the sedimentary rock shelves project out from the park into Lake Erie, representing a significant navigation hazard in the already very shallow lake. As luck would have it, Rock Point has a big boulder on the 'beach'. I believe it is an erratic, i.e a rock carried here by glacial action some 10,000 years (or so) ago. The composition of the rock appears to be granitic, unlike the local sedimentary rock formations. Mother nature was not particularly cooperative today, bringing periodic snow flurries in the sub-zero (Celsius) temperatures as heavy clouds obscured most of the sky, but kindly providing a small break for the small 'god-beam' phenomenon seen out over the lake. On the shore near the camera position, you can see a heavy deposit of what appears to be gravel, but which is, instead, shells of zebra-mussels. This invasive species is believed to have been introduced in ballast from European sea vessels in 1988 and now is well established in Lake Erie (among other lakes and waterways). - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Aperture priority mode, f/11 (to get depth of field required), 1/80 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee: bring up shadows, reduce highlights slightly to preserve detail in 'god-beam' area, slightly increase black level, boost vibrance, apply noise reduction, sharpen. PP in free Open Source GIMP: load image twice as layers, bottom layer for sky and top layer for shore, adjust the shore layer tone curve to get a good looking shore area disregarding the impact on the sky, adjust the tone curve of the sky layer to get good contrast and highlights disregarding the impact on the shore area, use a soft edged eraser tool to remove the sky from the top/shore layer revealing the better sky in the layer below, create new working layer from the visible result, increase saturation to bring out the colours in the boulder, slightly boost contrast and reduce brightness to get a more natural (to me) look), sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.
We came across this site while riding through the countryside in the Frankische Schweiz area in Baveria, Germany.
Another angle on a wonderful sunset overlooking a lovely pond near Smith Rock. I love the warm glow on the rocks, contrasted against the dark brooding sky. 7 images stitched together in CS5
