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.

White Rock Pier – White Rock has, what we believe to be, the longest wooden pier in Canada. It is 100 years old, and, with our lengthy Promenade, makes walking a favourite seaside activity. With the real estate boom of the time, the original pier opened in 1914 as a dock for coastal steamships, and with the thought that White Rock might become a major seaport, especially since The Great Northern Railway line arrived here around the same time. In the 1920s, a Royal Canadian Legion dance hall lay at its base on the shore and when it burned to the ground in 1935, subsequent buildings included the Panda Club – a much talked about sassy establishment in its day – and then a restaurant that also burned down in 1970. Six years later, the pier had deteriorated to such unsafe standards that it is only thanks to community save-the-pier efforts that it found its current lease on life as a major tourist attraction, stretching out 470m/1,542ft into the ocean

This is one from earlier this year. The rock pipit is a large stocky pipit, larger than a meadow pipit and smaller than a starling. It is streaky olive-brown above and dirty white underneath with dark streaking. It breeds around the coast where there are rocky beaches, and most of the birds that breed in the UK are residents, with only the young birds dispersing once they become independent. Some birds arrive here from Norway to spend the winter (RSPB).

We hit the end of autumn and the chills are due in by the middle of the week. I've got a lot of captures in the temp directory but it's time for the new. I sent the D700 in for repair (I have beat it up pretty good) and cleaning so I am stuck with the D70 but I had to reset all that Ronnie changed but I missed the fine .jpg setting so I came away with the junk instead of RAWs. It might not matter on this batch of the weird. I found Willow Farm on Google maps and made some trips down there and added some more weird captures. This is a zoom on the rock garden. Willow Creek may be the background.
Here is an interesting shot that happened on the shoot. This picture was a twist I've used before; setting the camera's shutter as slowly as I could. The trick I used this time during the exposure was to zoom during exposure as best I could. I am just experimenting but I am getting better at hand held motion at short exposures. I continued to experiment with that. I think that if you can mismatch a double exposures, you can achieve an overlay that would be interesting. The D700 allows for a much great latitude in tricks including all the early Nikkor lenses to 1956. I remember several tries that used D700 multiples but now I am a bit quicker. I need to take a notepad and pencil. Notes would better be left for when I can get a neutral density filter on the lens. I can then even better control the exposure and tricks. Dusk helps. I already posted previous shots that were extremely lucky. I grabbed a couple of slices in Lightroom and dropped them into Photoshop to see what what might appear.
This is a sport I only want to watch. We were stopped at the Oak Creek Wildlife Area when we spotted this climber descending the shear rock wall across the highway from where we were parked. White Pass Waashington
Balanced Rock in Arches National Park just before sunset. It may not look like it in this photo, but the rock formation is actually 128 feet tall. Here, by scrambling down a wash, I was able to line up the setting sun behind Balanced Rock.
I was being careful not to look very directly through my 70-200mm lens (with 2.0 TC), and I was wearing my sunglasses, but even so I had a few minutes of panic with some really funny-shaped ghosts in my vision for a good five minutes. You'd have thought that I would have learned my lesson after nearly blinding myself during the last solar eclipse!
My last Rock Band outing for a while.
Oh, and I love my plaid skirts. This one is my third. Maybe I should stop looking for them. :P

These are some more shots of my Tour to Europe in Sept - Nov 2012. I has been a while since I last saw them.. great to be able to catch up on them at last!
At Montserrat on our afternoon optional tour on my Cosmos tour, October 14, 2012.
Montserrat is a multi-peaked mountain located near the city of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. The main peaks are Sant Jeroni (1,236 m), Montgrós (1,120 m) and Miranda de les Agulles (903 m). The mountain is the namesake for the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Montserrat is sometimes referred to as "tall", or "la cuchador" (the spork).
It is well known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary and which is identified by some with the location of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth.
"Montserrat" literally means "saw (serrated, like the common handsaw) mountain" in Catalan. It describes its peculiar aspect with multitude of rock formations which are visible from a great distance. The mountain is composed of strikingly pink conglomerate, a form of sedimentary rock. Montserrat is Spain's first National Park.

Water seeps through the rock at the car parking area at the top of Claerwen dam, and drips out. I was trying to catch those drips but ended up with this abstract view.

Rock Dove
The Rock Dove (doves and pigeons) In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the "pigeon".Wild Rock Doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, although domestic and feral pigeons are very variable in colour and pattern. There are few visible differences between males and females. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild.
