The Low Frequency In Stereo @ Vera Club (Mainstage)
My The Low Frequency in Stereo set in my Concerts & Festivals collection
While out on my walk this afternoon, I came across a busker going above and beyond the call of duty to attract a crowd. Apart from the fact that he must have been freezing his bits off, he had a mike and stand in the river with him, and a speaker on the small area of exposed bank in front of him - now, THAT's Rock and Roll!
Terrible singer, though... ;-)
Starved Rock State Park

2668 E. 873rd Rd., Oglesby, IL 61348
Starved Rock State Park is a state park in Illinois, characterized by the many canyons within its 2,630 acres (1,064 ha). Located just southwest of the village of North Utica, in Deer Park Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, along the south bank of the Illinois River, the park hosts over two million visitors annually.
In the pre-Columbian era, the area was home to Native Americans, particularly the Kaskaskia who lived in the Grand Village of the Illinois across the river. Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans recorded as exploring the region, and by 1683, the French had established Fort St. Louis on a large sandstone butte overlooking the river. According to a native legend, a group of Illinois Confederation (Illini) pursued by the Ottawa and Potawatomi fled to the butte in the late 18th century. The Ottawa and Potawatomi besieged the butte until all of the Illini had starved, and the butte became known as Starved Rock. The butte area was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1960.

A beautiful pink sky hangs over a snow covered mountain as seen from Dome Rock in Sequoia National Park, California.
All the sunshine we've had in the last week or so has really brought the garden to life after the weeks of rain. This little alpine is in the rockery.

EXPLORE #236, 30 May 2012.
Atlatl Rock has some nice examples of ancient Indian petroglyphs, including a depiction of the atlatl. In order to see it, you must climb a stairway which is about 40 feet high. I did not climb it.
This huge rock has a nice patina, a dark mineral accumulation on its surface. Petroglyphs are created by scratching, carving, or sculpting, preferrably in rock facets coated with patina.
An atlatl is a throwing stick used by ancient tribes to give more force to their darts or spears. It was a predecessor to the bow and arrow.
While this is not necessarily my favorite band, this IS one of my favorite pictures from the 2005 inaugural events.
Whether it's because of a dream of not-so-secretly wanting to be a rock star, or because of the way the light seemed to fall perfectly for me to snap this moment... I just really like it.
First attempt at some rock benching. Needed to go around some fauna and there was no hill side to bench into so I had a go at some Rock Tetris. Seems to be hanging in there ok.
An iconic piece of rock in Bonne Bay as you look out from Norris Point. Geologists say this was once seabed, with the layers visible in the rock, that got pushed up and tilted by the earth's movement (probably the collision of the continental plates?)

My mother prized this rock which is actually a piece of England. Even though she lived in Canada for 50 years, she still missed Yorkshire.
one of my favorites in the UP... unfortunately it was the dry season...

Enchanted Rock is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome that rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and covers 640 acres. It is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States. The area became a state park in 1984, but humans have visited here for over 11,000 years.
Illinois Railway Museum's Nebraska Zephyr crosses the Rock River in Rockford on 7-19-11 on UP's bridge, making its way to Trainfest in the Quad Cities.
This rock shelter provides some good protection from the elements (unless they come from the West) along with great views.
