"Fallen pieces of rock have become wedged in this especially narrow part of the wildly romantic ravine. Passing through the gate without giving off any signs of being scared or anxious used to be one of the most popular tests of courage for walkers. Caspar David Friedrich spent many days alone in this rocky valley in order to take in the location's bleak, romantic atmosphere."
For me it was a pleasant walk rather than wildly exciting, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why walking under the chock stone would be a test of courage from a walker - it didn't look like it was going to fall down anytime soon, and there was a concrete path under it!

Ochetorhynchus andaecola
La Cuesta del Obispo, Salta province, Argentina.
Not a particularly well-named bird - many earthcreepers like to run around on the rocks, and this particular one is clearly perched in a tree! This species occurs in the high Andes of Bolivia to northern Chile and Argentina.

I walked to the end of the Pleasure Pier with my jacket tightly zipped. I think this pigeon was eyeing my nice warm coat! :)
I found this rock when I was rockhounding with my sister near the Badlands 3 years ago. She kept telling me to take pictures of it and send it to the Field Museum to see what they thought, but now that I'm on Flickr I thought I'd just enlist the masses...
...What do you think of this rock? Could it be a petrified egg?
See the other photos for more angles, and feel free to ask me questions or for more detailed pics.

The first recorded mention of 'Chimney Rock' was in 1827 by Joshua Pilcher. Pilcher had journeyed up the Platte River valley to the Salt Lake rendezvous of the Rocky Mountain fur trappers. The first non-natives to see the pillar were probably the Astorians of Robert Stuart in their eastern journey from the Pacific Ocean in 1813. This marker of the plains was recorded in many journals after this time.[
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.
Platygonus vetus
Pleistocene Age Peccary Skull & Lower Jaws
Pocahontas County, WV WVGES# 365
A virtually complete, articulated skeleton of the extinct peccary Platygonus vetus was recovered from an obscure passage in Poorfarm Cave, Pocahontas County, WV. Platygonus vetus dates from the early to middle Pleistocene at about 0.4 to 1.5 million years. Based on other associated fauna the Poorfarm specimen probably dates to the younger part of this time span. Platygonus vetus is much less frequently found than its younger and smaller relative Platygonus compressus. The Poorfarm skeleton is only the second relatively complete skeleton of Platygonus vetus ever found in the United States. Platygonus vetus has also been found in other West Virginia caves such as Rennick Quarry Cave, Greenbrier County, Hamilton and Elias Davis Caves in Pendleton County, and possibly Bowden Cave in Randolph County. The skull and jaws are 90% complete with missing elements reconstructed. The rest of the skeleton is still being cleaned and prepared for study. Found and collected by Marshall Homes & Fred Grady. Donated by Joel & Stella Callison.
While on vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic our hotel had these amazing paintings up. Hard Rock Hotel actually just bought a piece of the hotel and I would suspect that is why they had tons of musical influences around the hotel.
rock on ... all day and all of the night
blurry, handheld shot as the Sunday matinee began, I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
