Archaeologists believe these were inscribed over a period of about 2,000 years by several different cultures.
Some 50 miles south/west of Moab, Utah.
One of the more popular things to do when descending from the summit is to glisade - slide down the mountain's glacier on your feet/butt using your ice ax as a brake. Unfortunately, this was not an option for us. Trying to maintain control on gravel coming down the mountain takes probably more focus than you want to give it. Especially after spending nearly 8 hours going up. Even if you give it that attention, your safety is not guaranteed.
Andrew and I found ourselves working our way through the boulder field quite a bit faster on the decent. We may have been a lot more accepting of gravity's assistance than the rest of the group at this point. Working our way down we ended up in one of the unstable sections we attempted to climb earlier. With gravity helping us, we proceeded, and so did the rocks. It didn't take long before I found myself yelling "Rock!" In an instant Andrew hid behind the nearest boulder allowing the rocks to fly by his position. This clearly was not going to work like we had hoped, so Andrew split right while I split left. We finally cleared the boulder field when we heard a yell from above. It was Ryan. "Help!" Without even looking it was obvious something had gone wrong...

Waiting for news on the situation above, Andrew found protection behind the largest available rock, shown in this photo.

The rock climber who was hanging down on the other side of Little Stony Man Cliff when we got engaged. He took some pictures of us.
The squirrels at Rooster Rock do not live the hard-knock life that the ones in Hillsboro do. They've figured out they can live quite well begging off the visitors at Rooster Rock.
"Are they rabid?" my friend asked as about four squirrels approached the car before we even turned off the engine.
They weren't foaming at the mouth and didn't seem to display erratic behavior. "I don't think so," I replied.
This one here, as you can see, is especially good at begging and managed to score a lot of my friend's apple.
Welcome to Beaver Lake...Cottage country. I didn't think this timelapse was very interesting so I decided to spice it up a bit, playing with pauses, colours and the music. Once again I made the song just for this timelapse. Short and sweet, no lyrics. It came together pretty quick.
Columba livia
Commonly known as a feral pigeon this birds is resting on a railing pole along the East River on the west side of Roosevelt Island, New York City, New York.
February storm caused Rock Harbor to look very different. High water and waves make it look unrecognizable.
Rock salt is a chemical sedimentary rock composed of halide minerals such as halite and sylvite (as illustrated in this specimen of potash ore from Lanigan Potash Mine, Saskatchan, Canada). The red colour is from hematite, an iron oxide mineral in the rock. Specimen source: personal collection, J. McBeth.
It is not known why feral rock pigeons often retain the colours from their captive breeding, even after many generations back in the wild.

Castle Rock, Colorado - White outcrops of upper Dawson arkose (D2) dot the slopes of a mesa capped with Castle Rock conglomerate. As with most mesas and buttes in the east central Colorado Piedmont, Castle Rock's conglomerate caprock rests on easily-eroded Dawson Arkose. The whitish arkose forms the slopes below the caprock, but it's usually poorly exposed. Instead, it's covered over and stabilized by an armor of coarse debris spalled off the near-vertical caprock margins.
Castle Rock is a textbook example of topographic inversion: As a high-energy streambed deposit, its conglomerate caprock once occupied the very lowest spots in the local topography. With burial, it acquired a strong silica cement and locally unsurpassed resistance to erosion, so that its remnants now occupy the highest elevations in the local landscape. Collectively, Castle Rock and surrounding buttes and mesas provide a crude map of the local Oligocene drainage pattern.
It was scorching hot, about 110 degrees Fahrenheit, but we enjoyed the impressive views on this trail within the Palo Duro Canyon.
Fue un dÃa abrasador, cerca de 110 grados Fahrenheit, pero disfrutamos mucho de las vistas impresionantes a lo largo de este sendero adentro del Cañón Palo Duro.
