From the archives....views of Rock Isle Lake, located at Sunshine Meadows in Banff National Park....great little spot to hike and enjoy some spectacular Canadian Rockies scenery without all the crowds....and the wildflowers were amazing. A bit hazy on this particular day because of forest fires in the area but still beautiful.
Have a great Tuesday.....thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!

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.
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.
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.

I took another trip to Perch Rock Lighthouse, New Brighton after work. It had been wet and cloudy all day but there was enough break in the cloud to give some colour.

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!!!
Ripples in the sand at Black Rock Sands, where the tide and waves have left their mark on the sandy beach, leaving patterns lines and shapes.
One of the best beaches in Gwynedd, as well as Llandanwg beach.
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.
We were driving on this country road when suddenly around a bend in the road we see this rock formation.
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!!!!
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.
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.

Rock hyraxes, also called rock dassies or rock rabbits, are small, stub-tailed, rabbit-like animals native to Africa. Though rock hyraxes resemble rodents, their closest living relatives are actually elephants and manatees. These social mammals primarily eat vegetation. [text credit: Smithsonian]
So taken up with many Sand Martins and Fulmars, I nearly missed this wee bird that flipped across my bows, then very conveniently sat as shown maybe forty feet away for more than long enough for me to snap a few shots, then his jumping departure. I'm not certain that Rock Pipit is correct, so corrections will be welcome.
We spent a glorious day alone on Housel Beach, so as it was too sunny , I played with delicate balances. I could only just lift up this rock, and I think that's why it stood up to so many breaking waves. I waited till it looked like there was no rock beneath it. The title is a favourite Frank Zappa track.
