One of the most famous rock formations in Karkonosze. Seen on the trail from Śnieżka to Karpacz :)
Southern Stone (in Poland "Słonacznik") is located in the Western Sudetes, the band Giant, in the Giant Mountains National Park, west of the Cauldron of the Great Pond, on the northern slope Smogorni. It is a form of rock, consisting of several highly fractured granite island mountains, north of the pillar, viewed from the east side carved in the rock resembles a human figure. Rock is not impressive, situated at an altitude of 1423 m above sea level rises to a height of 12 m towers over the Upper Karpacz and the surrounding area, is the most characteristic and best-exposed rocks of the Giant Mountains, which can be seen from almost all the Jelenia Góra Basin. Fancy shapes rocks is the result of a complex and long process of erosion, during which they were deleted items less resistant to weathering and remain resilient. Southern Stone is one of the most interesting and most visited Giant rocks. Southern Stone takes its name from the fact that for the residents Podgórzyn, Przesieka and Borowice sun on a rock pointed south.

Jedna z bardziej znanych skałek w Karkonoszach, na szlaku ze Śnieżki do Karpacza :)
Słonecznik znajduje się w Sudetach Zachodnich, w paśmie Karkonoszy, na terenie Karkonoskiego Parku Narodowego, na zachód od Kotła Wielkiego Stawu, na północnym zboczu Smogorni. Jest to forma skalna, składająca się z kilku silnie spękanych granitowych ostańców, z których północny filar, oglądany od wschodniej strony przypomina wykutą w skale postać ludzką. Skała nie ma imponujących rozmiarów, położona na wysokości 1423 m n.p.m. wznosi się na wysokość 12 m. Góruje nad Karpaczem Górnym i okolicami, jest najbardziej charakterystyczną i najlepiej widoczną skałą w Karkonoszach, którą widać prawie z całej Kotliny Jeleniogórskiej. Fantazyjne kształty skały to efekt złożonego i długotrwałego procesu erozyjnego, podczas którego zostały usunięte elementy mniej odporne na działanie warunków atmosferycznych, a pozostały odporniejsze. Słonecznik zalicza się do najciekawszych i najchętniej odwiedzanych skałek karkonoskich. Słonecznik wziął swoją nazwę stąd, że dla mieszkańców Podgórzyna, Przesieki i Borowic słońce nad skałą wskazywało południe – nazwa niemiecka Mittagstein, czyli Kamień południa.
Ripples in the sand at Black Rock Sands, where the tide and waves have left their mark on the sandy beach, leaving patterns lines and shapes.

The Split Rock Lighthouse peeks out of the fall foliage along the shore of Lake Superior.
The lighthouse was built after a 1905 storm that damaged 29 boats. It was first lit in 1910.
The brass framed light is made up of 252 prisms and has a range of 22 miles.
Lake Superior is the worlds largest freshwater lake holding 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water! That's 3 quadrillion!!! That's enough to flood North and South America with one foot of water!!!
Alta has the largest concentration of rock art in Northern Europe made by people with a hunting-fishing economy. The rock carvings and paintings weere made between 7000 to 2000 years ago
We were driving on this country road when suddenly around a bend in the road we see this rock formation.
Popular rock climbing formation for the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Look up to the Sky"
Near Gunlock Pond, Washington County, Utah.
A little while back I posted a series from a trip to my local park where I shot in B&W. With a mirrorless camera it is nice to be able to preview the B&W effect, along with a square crop through the view finder. I was not concerned with making masterpieces and just snapped away at whatever caught my eye.
Now even though I saw a square image through the viewfinder, because I was shooting in a RAW format I still could process a full frame, and colour if I chose to. This is a shot where even though I was shooting square I knew that I would end up with the full frame, or close to it. I like the shot but to stay continuous did not want to post with the series of square images.
I know that it is just a rock and some snow, but I like the simplicity of it, plus I never met a rock that I did not like.

We spent a glorious day alone on Housel Beach, so as it was too sunny , I played with delicate balances. I could only just lift up this rock, and I think that's why it stood up to so many breaking waves. I waited till it looked like there was no rock beneath it. The title is a favourite Frank Zappa track.
A juvenile rock beauty (holacanthus tricolor) in front of mountainous star coral (orbicella faveolata).
Rock beauties are teases. They are relatively numerous, obviously easy to spot and they allow for a somewhat close approach, but not as close as you would like for an underwater shot as they often turn away or duck into a crack at the last moment. This juvenile wasn't as skittish as a typical adult. Unlike many other fish, juvenile rock beauties look like what they will become as they age, but maybe more of a red accent on the dorsal and anal fins.
It is a challenge to get a clean background underwater. Here, the rock beauty is posing in front of a large mountainous star coral. Unfortunately, there is a good chance this coral is dead now. This image was taken earlier this year. We returned to this site in the summer and much to our disappointment, probably 1/3 of the hard corals, if not more, were dead.
I don't know if it was "just" coral bleaching or due to disease, such as the stony coral tissue loss disease (first identified in FL in 2014, bit.ly/3fBTIEt), but it was very deflating to see it happen at a site that had so many magnificent and massive hard corals. Mountainous star coral is listed as "endangered" by IUCN.
Rock Pigeon, Columba livia, Merpati
Original wild rock pigeons are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, while domestic and feral pigeons as in this image, are very variable in colour and pattern. There are few visible differences between males and females. Many domestic birds have escaped or been released over the years, and have given rise to the feral pigeon. These show a variety of plumages, although some have the blue barred pattern as does the pure rock pigeon. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. In the cities, rooftops is favourite breeding grounds. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, feral pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of millions across the continents. Feral pigeons are found in large numbers in cities and towns all over the world.
And limpet and barnacles.
Very low, late December afternoon light scraping across the rock surface. Polly Joke, Cornwall.
A Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) on the grassy tundra landscape near our field camp at Karrak Lake, Nunavut.
The males do change in plumage during the breeding season but the ones we encountered were still in the white winter plumage.

Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.
This 12th century fortress was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years. A tour of the rock is a must do on any trip to Ireland, as there is so much history here and so many photo opportunities. After touring the rock, be sure to take a walk down to Hore Abbey, just down the hill and across Camus road. The ruins there are also stunning and offer many views back up to the rock.

Goskar Rock is a striking rock formation that juts out of the middle of the sand on Tenby's north beach in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
This photograph was taken as the low winter sun illuminated the rock providing a nice contrast with the dark sky over the sea.
