The Duluth CBS station actually did a story on these entitled "Duluthian's Admire Mysterious Rock Statues", where they seemed genuinely perplexed by them. Can they really be so clueless that they've never seen rock cairns before?
Rock Island transfer caboose 19161 at Blue Island, Illinois on July 12, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note that it has had a close encounter on the lower right corner; the Z braces are bent and some steel plates cover the wood. This car was one of seven in the 19160-19166 number series, rebuilt from road cabooses in the 17600 series which had been rebuilt in 1943 from class B-2 boxcars.

I went to blackstone rock today in search of poppies but there are still very few up there. The signs say they may still be a couple more weeks yet. Still I got to photograph this one lol :-)
Thor's rock is basically a giant lump of sandstone in the middle of a sparsely-wooded plain on the Wirral in Thurstaston. It looks strange, especially since almost every inch of it is covered in etched graffiti, accumulated over many decades. It's also excellent fun to climb on!
Like the previous edition, the organizers have chosen to provide the public with a mix of rock styles - from death metal and hardcore metal to ethno-rock, punk rock and ska-rock. With this edition Bucovina Castle Rock festival strengthens its international title with the participation of teams from Hungary, Macedonia, Belgium, Greece, Bulgaria and Moldova, with some of the best bands of the moment Romanian.
This one looks a little like a character out of Star Wars, but just like with clouds, you're free to see your own images! This one looks so much like it's sliding off, it is amazing just to stand there and hope you can get the picture before it comes down. But somehow it stays up there!
Stopped by Chimney Rock in western Nebraska yesterday. Twice. We won't talk about the nearly 200-mile roundtrip I took between visits to retreive my filter bag that was laying on the ground outside of Guernsey, WY... but since I did all that extra driving, I thought perhaps the Singh-Ray Gold n' Blue should do a little work for me in this image...
Chimney Rock was featured on the Nebraska state quarter in 2006. It's about 445 feet from floor to peak.
The first visit three hours earlier did not feature anything exciting lightwise. The return visit - starting about 45 minutes before sunset was more to my liking.
These rock represent the shap of a human and they all face the ocean
This is a shot taken at the top of Makakilo in an are called Palehua. it is a recent ancient Hawaiian archeological site. There is a 40 meter square wall in the center with is at least 3-6 feet of sediment in the center. it is surround with hundreds of flat stones that were used for sitting all facing over the cliff to the ocean. it is not known exactly what this site was used for. it was probably a multi functional building used as a school, church, town meeting area, astrological calender and a type of amphitheater.
Below this site is another archeological site called Kalaeloa. these two sites are an example of the Hawaiian Ahupua'a system. the Ahupua'a system is a land division system where every family or village owns the land from the top of the mountain(mauka) all the way tot he ocean(makai). The Hawaiian islands usually have the mountains in the center of the island. so the land was divided up kinda like a pie chart. this ensured everyone has access to all the resources from different parts of the island.
Jack and I took Rosie up the castle this evening, we saw this big rock on railway sleepers on the green in front of the castle, as the castle was closed there was no one around to ask what or where it was from.....
I added my name using aviary - I won't be using that again !!
One of many faces carved into the sandstone walls of an abandoned railway cutting in Storrs Mill Wood near Cudworth, South Yorkshire.
Taken at OS grid reference SE401067.
Red Rock Canyon, located west of town, was also pretty amazing, even though all I had time to do was drive the scenic drive. Check the note on the photo for an amazing sense of scale.
Another view of the rock house, taken on our road trip over Thanksgiving week. US 89A in northern Arizona.
Desert Guard Build by: Lu Ming from: Beijing, China year: 2018
Fenghaizhen’s design is inspired by the armor of Genghis Khan whose Mongolian empire ruled China during a part of the 14th century. The Mongolian army resisted their enemies’ aggression thanks to Genghis Khan’s military tactics, a strong system of weapons and their special armor. It had a very primitive but effective shock absorbing and impact diverting system. This art piece enlarges the armor to a height of 15 metres weighing 10 tons and embedded the soul of a Mongolian warrior. It wants to remind everyone, that we must never use artificial intelligence for war. Otherwise, humanity creates weapons that kill us. We hope that this warrior makes us realise that we shouldn’t only worship technology, but also put restrictions in place. Contact: beijingburners@gmail.com
The aptly named Red Cliff Beach and Red Rock Headland just north of Brooms Head (in the background) on the Far North Coast of NSW. A basic bush camp area is maintained nearby with basic facilities (pit toilets).
Apparently great fishing here but it's not patrolled so swimming needs caution. Hundreds of kangaroos feed day and night on the grassy hills just behind these cliffs.
