Rock and roll graffiti is a significant sub genre. A famous graffito of the 20th century was the inscription in the London subway reading "Clapton is God". The phrase was spray-painted by an admirer on a wall in an Islington Underground station in the autumn of 1967. The graffiti was captured in a photograph, in which a dog is urinating on the wall. Graffiti also became associated with the anti-establishment punk rock movement beginning in the 1970s. Bands such as Black Flag and Crass (and their followers) widely stenciled their names and logos, while many punk night clubs, squats and hangouts are famous for their graffiti. In the late 1980s the upside down Martini glass that was the tag for punk band Missing Foundation was the most ubiquitous graffito in lower Manhattan, and copied by hard core punk fans throughout the U.S. and West Germany...

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.

Rock City, north of Valier in North Central Montana along the Two Medicine River.
The area is known for its sandstone pillars often refereed to as hoodoos. The hoodoos have been created from the soft sandstone being eroded away by wind and water. Often a harder layer of stone remains on top of the pillars to give them kind of a mushroom shape. There are hundreds of these hoodoos spread over the landscape above the river’s edge with areas you can walk between them which gives the area the impression of being a city. The pillars raise from just a few feet high to over 20 feet for some of the taller ones.
Rock Branch, GA (Elbert County) Copyright 2010 D. Nelson
Today I drove to Ruckersville, GA, a few miles east of Elberton. I always wanted to explore that area and my friends Evan and Steven were here recently and both suggested I should go. So I did.
I don't have GPS so I still look at maps - internet and topo - to find places. I thought I had this one figured out but to make sure I stopped in Elberton to ask directions. I followed them and after a lot of driving on winding roads hugging Lake Russell I ended up in Middleton - which was not anywhere near Ruckersville. Curved back to Elberton, where I had a nice talk with Mr. Sanders who runs a litte automotive shop. That story is coming up later. He gave me directions which send me around Elberton twice (I may have misunderstood them). I asked a resident who said she's lived here forever and knows Ruckersville is just 6 miles from here but shamefully admitted she's never been there and does not know how to get there (it turned out to be a straight 6 miles from her house). I asked yet another local who made it very clear I was not to stray from the road he put me on, no matter how tempting it may be, and I will make it to Ruckersville. All four locals said "Ruckersville? There's nothing there but an old store! You will miss it going through." Well, I won't, being on the lookout for this old gas station, which Steven and Evan tagged as "Ruckersville". Bad, bad boys! ;)
When I arrived in Ruckersville, this sign was nowhere to be seen. I drove through the community twice, then took every side road. No sign, but I now know Ruckersville like my back pocket and do not at all consider it a speck on the map. Anyway, at that point I had looked for the sign too long to give up. MilkaWay does not give up easily. I acknowledged my defeat, swallowed my pride and called Steven who thankfully returned my call right away (after I lost the signal - again, not a good place to break down, and this was my Buggy's test drive - will I ever learn?). Turns out the sign was 8 miles further down the road, just short of the South Carolina state line. In a place called Rock Branch.
Thank you Steven for all your help! One funny moment was when you said "just look it up on the net" - easy to do with an iPhone. I think I need one. Or at least GPS. I love flipping the big paper map but it's not always very helpful.
My photo ratio for this day was way off. On a photo trip I usually yield approx. 1 photo per mile driven.Today, I came home with 50 for 200 miles driven. Kinda low on the MilkaWay Harvest Indicator (MHI).
A chap sat on a rock in Cheddar Gorge on a lovely midwinter afternoon yesterday, listening - I know, you can't hear it, a picture can only convey so much - to something I think was Bob Seger. I normally frown upon people playing their music in such lovely spots - headphones exist, why not use them? - but this chap seemed so at one with the place I hadn't the heart to grumble. So instead I grabbed a quick shot of him sitting there, doing his thing, in a lovely spot on a lovely afternoon.
Seen on Brean Beach on a wonderful sunny winter afternoon, lovely soft lighting added to this super little bird

Taken on the beach at Bruce Bay, some 'rock art' left by visitors them as a memento of their having visited. Such displays were seen at various other places around South Island, but not on such a scale as here. Naturally, we left our mark too. The Tasman Sea breaks onto the beach, where there was hardly another soul around.
I tried my hand at 8-wide for the first time-well, my first actual attempt, I should say. I ended up doing the hood 4-wide with a plate on each side because 6 was too wide, four wasnt wide enough, and I could never get a 5-wide hood to look decent enough for me. It has room for both the battery box and an IR receiver for PF
There are some pretty good aboriginal rock paintings on the road to Mitchell Falls. This is one that I like for its 'art incorporating art' quality - shapes and colours of the rock itself combined with the two totally different paintings

Black-spotted Rock Frog (Staurois natator) - Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
Another Rock Frog from Borneo, despite being a diurnal species this one and others were seen at night sitting on rocks near rapids. The light whitish background for this photo is whitewater from a small series of rapids. I'm not used to seeing frogs in this type of environment so it was cool for me. I wanted to get a shot showing the unusual juxtaposition of frogs and rapids but a variety of factors made it tough. The frogs were skittish, the rock surface was steep and covered with algae which made it slippery, and it was night time. This was the best I managed on this occasion. Different than what I had in mind when I started photographing it but I like the results of this as well.
There are some very beautiful volcanic rock beaches in the island. Not exactly a sandy beach, but quite scenic in its own way.
The Rock of Gibraltar (Spanish and Llanito: Peñón de Gibraltar, sometimes called by its original Latin name, Calpe,) is a monolithic limestone promontory located in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, off the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. It is 426 m (1,398 ft) high. The Rock is Crown property of the United Kingdom, and borders Spain. Most of the Rock's upper area is covered by a nature reserve, which is home to around 300 Barbary macaques. These macaques, as well as a labyrinthine network of tunnels, attract a large number of tourists each year.
