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
Hiram, Maine - If anyone can geologically explain the lines in this rock, please do. Thanks so much.
The last golden rays sink behind the trees one cool spring evening as viewed from Sunset Rock in Highlands, NC. #mountainsunset #highlandsnc #sunsetrock #mountainsarecalling #explore
Is it just me, or is there a face in that rock face? I can't not see it now that I know where it is.
This is view from the place we stayed in Sedona, Arizona. The area is rich in colorful rock formations. Here we see the large Courthouse Rock in dawn light. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedona,_Arizona

Questo spettacolare ponte di granito sembra unire il cielo e la terra da dimensioni parallele...

Working through Castle Rock, Colorado, over the Joint Line is a southbound Santa Fe freight beneath the town’s namesake butte on July 10, 1987. Leading the six-unit locomotive set is GE B23-7 No. 6395—followed by five EMDs—a GP35, SD45 and a trio of GP20s.
I think I'll go to the waterfalls today, to see if I can get some different shots, as it's sunny and very windy, there should be a few autumn leaves around. Eyes wider than before by Scott Matthews is fine for this shot .

Here's another shot of one of the bighorns hanging around Oak Creek Wildlife Area's winter feeding zone.

Twisleton Scar on a deserted cold windy evening is still a sublime place to wander. This is one of the first scenes you encounter after making the climb up. I always have to stop here and take the scene in. The old Hawthorn Tree acts as a magnet and there are plenty of places just to sit on the Limestone rocks and contemplate matters after the climb up.
This was also the first place I went too after the first interminably long lockdown of the COVID pandemic and met fellow Flickr Pal Pete Rowbottam who was sat on this very spot, flying his drone in celebration of a new found photographic freedom.
Ingleborough sits in the background shrouded in winter snow. I wandered around for a couple of hours taking shots and waited optimistically for sunset. I had dashed down here after a day up on Coniston Old Man and the Coppermine Valley, before the weather closed in on the Lake District. My optimism actually paid off for once when against all odds I actually got a sunset later on this evening on the edge of Twisleton.
An 800 foot sandstone spire at the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Canyon. The Navajo believed that Spider Woman, who taught the people to weave, lives there, also that another formation across the way called Face Rock would inform her about naughty children who she then carries away to to top of her rock. A big deterrent to potential naughtiness! The volcanic core of Black Rock Butte can be seen on the horizon. Canyon de Chelly, Arizona

Thank you for visiting!
Brimham Rocks, once known as Brimham Crags, is a 183.9-hectare (454-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Geological Conservation Review (GCR) site, 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, on Brimham Moor in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site, notified as SSSI in 1958, is an outcrop of Millstone Grit, with small areas of birch woodland and a large area of wet and dry heath.
The site is known for its water- and weather-eroded rocks, which were formed over 325 million years ago and have assumed fantastic shapes. In the 18th and 19th centuries, antiquarians such as Hayman Rooke wondered whether they could have been at least partly carved by druids, an idea that ran concurrently with the popularity of James Macpherson's Fragments of Ancient Poetry of 1760, and a developing interest in New-Druidism. For up to two hundred years, some stones have carried fanciful names, such as Druid's Idol, Druid's Altar and Druid's Writing Desk. (Wikipedia) Nidderdale, Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom.
