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.

Thank you most kindly for stopping by to view my work.

If you find you have a few words to say about what I have done they will be much appreciated.

My best regards to you.... Martin

The movement of the surf has gracefully arranged the sand around the contours of this beach rock.

From Banff to Oregon's volcanic marvel Smith Rock, my next series.

I chatted with these 2 hikers before they dropped down to the Crooked River to start their first exploration of this multi-faceted nature wonder. So many different trails to hike as well as rock climbing for the more daring.

Thanks for taking a look.....always appreciated.

Rock Island E6 630 and E8 652 were awaiting their next assignment in Oelwein in 2019. That assignment was to pose all night for the photographers.

The night air was soon filled with flashes of Alien Bees and multitudes of Iowa's state bird the Mosquito.

Cathedral Rock is a natural sandstone butte on the Sedona skyline and one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. After a weekend drive around Northern Arizona, Sedona was my last stop before heading home to San Diego. While I'm happy that I finally got a decent reflection photo of Cathedral Rock, it certainly wasn't the easiest reflection photo that I have ever taken. Steady winds over 10 mph made this an exercise in patience, desire and persistence. DSC_5650A

This is Mount Rundle near the city of Banff, Canada.

Best if viewed at the larger sizes....

Our last sunrise in the desert, from the top of a long smooth rock ridge. This place really looked straight out of Dune. The sand and rock were less colorful in that part of the desert, the cliffs and mountains taller and the valleys and canyons narrower. This is the best place in Wadi Rum to hike over a couple of days in my opinion, and it's the spot where I'd like to go back the most in the area.
