……It was a while after starting to edit this shot before I realised it was taken on my phone! I’d forgotten how good they are now - note to self, use it more often! Press Z or click on image to zoom in - Here you can see three of the Rock Houses, these are in an elevated position looking out from Kinver Edge which is is a 250-million-year-old sandstone escarpment on the border between Worcestershire and Staffordshire, they were occupied for around 200 years and housed up to 11 families with the last to leave in about 1960! They are now looked after by the National Trust - see 1st comment box for an inside view…..

It's huge, it's complex, it's iconic, there is nothing like it anywhere

else in the world and it's right here in Cashel at the heart of Tipperary, Ireland.Long before the Norman invasion The Rock of Cashel was the seat of the High Kings of Munster.

Rock Pipit, Isle of May.

A rock in the lake at Mason Park.

Another rock pipit I came across during my trip to Cornwall. This one had chosen the single life feeding with purple sandpipers instead of other pipits

At the beach yesterday I noticed some very beautiful yellow rock flowers near the beach. Pretty amazing for late June. :D

This thing is a huge 5,000 pound rock.

"Baby, I need you till the morning

I hear my body calling

So keep the party rocking all night

Baby, oh, we can skip the talking

You know there's only one thing tonight

So won’t you come rock my body?

Baby, I need you till the morning

I hear my body calling

So keep the party rocking all night

Baby, oh, we can skip the talking

You know there's only one thing tonight

So won't you come rock my body?

Coming in, coming in, so, so hot

Loving it, loving it, non, non stop

Another round, round

We double down, down

Bittersweet, bittersweet, one more shot

Let me see, let me see what you got

I want it right now

Yeah

Baby, I want you

So won’t you come rock my body?

Body, body

Won't you come rock my body?

Baby, I need you till the morning

I hear my body calling

So keep the party rocking all night

Baby, oh, we can skip the talking

You know there's only one thing tonight

So won't you come rock my body?

It's in the air just breathe it in

Another rush, just kicking in

Under the lights, I feel you near

I want you close, I want you here

It's in the air, it's in the air

Baby, I need you till the morning

I hear my body calling

So keep the party rocking all night

Baby, oh, we can skip the talking

You know there's only one thing tonight

So won’t you come rock my body?

Baby, I need you till the morning

I hear my body calling

So keep the party rocking all night

Baby, oh, we can skip the talking

You know there’s only one thing tonight

So won't you come rock my body?

Won’t you come rock my body?

Won't you come rock my body?"

Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC. (11/16/2019)

The sun managed to break through the cloudy sky to give some rich color to enhance the Needles and Haystack rock stacks near Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Seen on the water front old coach road. The harbour is surrounded by volcanic rock which makes for some interesting scenery!

Happy Feathery Friday!

We are going to see The Lesko Stone :)

The Lesko Stone is a distinctive rock formation in the forest near the city of Lesko in the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland. It is most likely a result of glacial movements in the area and the whole formation is believed to have been carried to the present site by a glacier. The stone is over 20 m tall and is entirely a work of erosion. Its peculiar shape was further pronounced as the area was a small rock quarry in past centuries. Despite being an environmentally protected site it is often scaled by climbers and outdoor enthusiasts. It can be reached by following a lengthy tourist trail from Lesko or from a road roughly 91 m away. The stone is an important aspect of local culture with a number of legends related to its shape and origin. The most popular of those is related to the 16th century church in Lesko which claims the stone is a remnant of a failed attempt by the devil to destroy Christianity in the area. A variation of this story links the stone to a number of monasteries in the area. Many more legends exist and some of them are told on plaques currently fixed to the stone.

Idziemy oglądać Kamień Leski :)

Kamień Leski (ok. 410–420 m) – charakterystyczna formacja skalna na wzgórzu we wsi Glinne niedaleko miasta Lesko w Bieszczadach. Kamień Leski jest wychodnią gruboziarnistego piaskowca krośnieńskiego, twardego i odpornego na wietrzenie. Główna skała wznosi się około 20 m ponad kulminację wzgórza. Posiada nieco dziwny kształt będący wynikiem zarówno erozji, jak i działalności człowieka. Od północnej strony znajdował się dawniej kamieniołom, po którym pozostała głęboka niecka wyrobiska oraz wysoka skalna ściana. Na szczycie skały znajduje się żelazny krzyż postawiony w 1978. Kamień jest ważnym elementem miejscowej kultury, powstało wiele legend związanych z jego kształtem i pochodzeniem. Najbardziej znana z nich jest związana z szesnastowiecznym kościołem w Lesku, według owej legendy kamień jest wynikiem nieudanej próby zniszczenia chrześcijaństwa w tym obszarze przez diabła. Niektóre z legend znajdują się na tablicach umocowanych na kamieniu.

At least they are now leaving some seaweed on the beaches now - lots of foraging sites for the Rock Pipits and, hopefully for waders later on in the winter

Also known as Don Whillans Memorial Hut.

We almost missed this unusual building on our walk. The Cottage is private so you can't get to close.

I've spent the past hour reading up on the history and the most interesting "possible fact" was an old crone lived in the cave(which now has a door) until she was nearly 100 back in the late 1800's!

This unique feature is located near Castle Rock in the Porongurup Range in Western Australia. The walk to Castle Rock is 2.2km, ascending all the time. So coming to the Balancing Rock is a great excuse to stop, take a few phots and rest up before continuing.

Jane's Addiction version

Jenny said when she was just five years old

You know there's nothing happening at all

Every time she puts on the radio

There was nothing goin' down at all

Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station

She couldn't believe what she heard at all

She started dancin' to that fine fine music

You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll
