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.
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.
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.
Sunset patterns on the beach.
It was like a warm glow had taken over the whole beach.
A really beautiful late afternoon walk on Black Rock Sands Beach, Morfa Bychan, North Wales.
RAW ND filter used to darken the sky as it was over exposed in the original. Rock Isle Lake can be found in the Sunshine Meadows region of the Rocky Mountains easily accessible from Banff
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!!!
We were driving on this country road when suddenly around a bend in the road we see this rock formation.
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.
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.
And limpet and barnacles.
Very low, late December afternoon light scraping across the rock surface. Polly Joke, Cornwall.
A Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) on the grassy tundra landscape near our field camp at Karrak Lake, Nunavut.
The males do change in plumage during the breeding season but the ones we encountered were still in the white winter plumage.
Images were captured on Kodachrome 64 slide film.

It's only 1.5 miles from here to the High Rock Lookout and getting there is simple: Go up!
I wonder if anyone has ever rock-climbed straight up the cliff before?
Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.
This 12th century fortress was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years. A tour of the rock is a must do on any trip to Ireland, as there is so much history here and so many photo opportunities. After touring the rock, be sure to take a walk down to Hore Abbey, just down the hill and across Camus road. The ruins there are also stunning and offer many views back up to the rock.
