Rock Pipit, Anthus petrosus, chasing a fly on the harbour wall at Hopeman, Moray, Scotland, UK.
(Apologies if it appears that I have added this image to some groups twice - I have subtly tweaked and renamed it).
A lot of the architecture in the Sedona area was artfully integrated into the landscape. I liked this modern building, far from town on a side road, designed with harmonious colors and nestled right up against a sheer rock face.
Hanging Rock is a prominent geological feature in Middletown, RI and I just liked the way sun looked coming up over it on this particular morning.
You could spot these birds naked-eye from a great distance after snow melt (which makes me wonder why all males aren't consumed by Gyrfalcons during this time). Ikpikpuk River, North Slope, Alaska - 10 June 2012
The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) or Cape hyrax is one of the four living species of the order Hyracoidea.
Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund creatures with short tails. Most measure between 30 and 70 cm long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg. They are often mistaken for rodents, but in actuality are more closely related to elephants.
Can anyone tell me what the story is on this cool looking rock?

Indian Rock Dam, located about three miles upstream from York, Pennsylvania, Aug. 17, 2020. (U.S. Army photo by Christopher Fincham)
Indian Rock Dam is a dry dam, which means it typically doesn't hold any water unless its gates are closed and water accumulates following heavy rains. An earth and rock structure, the dam is 1,000 feet long rising 83 feet above the streambed, with a side-channel spillway and gated outlet conduit in the right abutment. The normally dry reservoir area has a storage capacity of 28,000 acre-feet (9.1 billion gallons) at spillway crest and controls a drainage area of 94 square miles, equivalent to 41 percent of the watershed upstream from York.
We spent a night and part of the next day on The Rock. It's a car ferry that's been converted for passengers - the first deck is an open area, which is used for recreation and meals, and the top deck has several cabins. We had a private cabin, because it was our honeymoon, but there are three or four cabins shared by four people.
We really enjoyed The Rock. Yay Peter! Yay J.J., Jasper, Sophia and Yvonne!
Newfoundland is called "The Rock" for good reason. The bedrock of the Canadian Shield is never far beneath the surface of the soil. With such shallow soil, many of the power poles require additional anchoring by boxes of rocks above the surface. The trees are also stunted for lack of soil.
A Blue Rock Thrush (Monticola solitarius) at Murasaki Mura. We see many of these around in the winter on Okinawa. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Rock_Thrush)
My son and I visited the Roaches this weekend to go climbing and just happened to glance back when leaving after a damp day at the crag and this was our view. This is the rock 'Face' at The Roaches lower tier Staffordshire. This 'Face' is situated behind Rock Hall Cottage.

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

a roof. How did it get there? I think it was just a small pebble that fell from the beak of a passing bird. Dropping to the surface of the roof, it found a foothold. There it laid for eons gathering additional minerals that might slurry down the grade during rainstorms. Given enough time it will grow so large that the structure will no longer be able to support the massive weight of the boulder and it will crash through the roof and be united once again with the ground from whence it came.
That, or one of my kids threw the rock up on the roof.
