Black and White of Lower Antelope Canyon. At first glance it looks as if there is a rock balancing on top of another but upon closer inspection you realize that it isn't a rock at all but a cut out in the rock wall
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 the Haystack Rock at Seaside. There is a larger one at Pacific City and a third one down near Bandon.. Yes it is confusing but they are a bit different even tho they have the same name... Happy Sliders Sunday, Everybody!!!!
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.

Thank you for visiting!
Due to the high backlight I had to use strong processing.
The Fairy Rock rises tower-like from the slope of the Fairy Mountain descending to the east-northeast: less from the direction of the Fairy Mountain, but very steep from the direction of the valley. Its material is a dolomite stone formed in the late Triassic age, which dusts in places.
One of the most famous rock formations in Karkonosze. Seen on the trail from Śnieżka to Karpacz :)
Southern Stone (in Poland "Słonacznik") is located in the Western Sudetes, the band Giant, in the Giant Mountains National Park, west of the Cauldron of the Great Pond, on the northern slope Smogorni. It is a form of rock, consisting of several highly fractured granite island mountains, north of the pillar, viewed from the east side carved in the rock resembles a human figure. Rock is not impressive, situated at an altitude of 1423 m above sea level rises to a height of 12 m towers over the Upper Karpacz and the surrounding area, is the most characteristic and best-exposed rocks of the Giant Mountains, which can be seen from almost all the Jelenia Góra Basin. Fancy shapes rocks is the result of a complex and long process of erosion, during which they were deleted items less resistant to weathering and remain resilient. Southern Stone is one of the most interesting and most visited Giant rocks. Southern Stone takes its name from the fact that for the residents Podgórzyn, Przesieka and Borowice sun on a rock pointed south.

Jedna z bardziej znanych skałek w Karkonoszach, na szlaku ze Śnieżki do Karpacza :)
Słonecznik znajduje się w Sudetach Zachodnich, w paśmie Karkonoszy, na terenie Karkonoskiego Parku Narodowego, na zachód od Kotła Wielkiego Stawu, na północnym zboczu Smogorni. Jest to forma skalna, składająca się z kilku silnie spękanych granitowych ostańców, z których północny filar, oglądany od wschodniej strony przypomina wykutą w skale postać ludzką. Skała nie ma imponujących rozmiarów, położona na wysokości 1423 m n.p.m. wznosi się na wysokość 12 m. Góruje nad Karpaczem Górnym i okolicami, jest najbardziej charakterystyczną i najlepiej widoczną skałą w Karkonoszach, którą widać prawie z całej Kotliny Jeleniogórskiej. Fantazyjne kształty skały to efekt złożonego i długotrwałego procesu erozyjnego, podczas którego zostały usunięte elementy mniej odporne na działanie warunków atmosferycznych, a pozostały odporniejsze. Słonecznik zalicza się do najciekawszych i najchętniej odwiedzanych skałek karkonoskich. Słonecznik wziął swoją nazwę stąd, że dla mieszkańców Podgórzyna, Przesieki i Borowic słońce nad skałą wskazywało południe – nazwa niemiecka Mittagstein, czyli Kamień południa.
It's better to be lucky than good. I was heading to meet my friend Andrew, who was kind enough to offer to give me the lay of the land in the Ridgeway, Telluride area of Colorado. We agreed that we would try to connect after sunset, as we were each traveling from another part of the state and weren't sure where we would be at the end of the day. I headed up Owl Creek, not knowing what I would find. Lo and behold it was this scenic point and Andrew!

The Split Rock Lighthouse peeks out of the fall foliage along the shore of Lake Superior.
The lighthouse was built after a 1905 storm that damaged 29 boats. It was first lit in 1910.
The brass framed light is made up of 252 prisms and has a range of 22 miles.
Lake Superior is the worlds largest freshwater lake holding 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water! That's 3 quadrillion!!! That's enough to flood North and South America with one foot of water!!!
On our first full day on Skye we booked a tour to see some highlights. Kilt Rock and the Mealt Falls were our first stop and even though the weather on that day was often quite difficult with lots of rain and mist, for this photo I think the clouds were actually better than a clear sky. So I'm quite satisfied how this photo turned out, despite taking it among lots of other tourists.
My first macro shot is not so micro. The ripple in front of this rock attracted my attention and left a rather interesting pattern while serving as my first use with a new macro lens.
Popular rock climbing formation for the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Look up to the Sky"
Near Gunlock Pond, Washington County, Utah.
in the search for the most comfortable pillow in the yard Edward G. started with this one. I think it was locally made. so far so good. he has given it two meows and two paws up.
A little while back I posted a series from a trip to my local park where I shot in B&W. With a mirrorless camera it is nice to be able to preview the B&W effect, along with a square crop through the view finder. I was not concerned with making masterpieces and just snapped away at whatever caught my eye.
Now even though I saw a square image through the viewfinder, because I was shooting in a RAW format I still could process a full frame, and colour if I chose to. This is a shot where even though I was shooting square I knew that I would end up with the full frame, or close to it. I like the shot but to stay continuous did not want to post with the series of square images.
I know that it is just a rock and some snow, but I like the simplicity of it, plus I never met a rock that I did not like.
I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.
