Visitors to the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula are rewarded with a view of Percé Rock, one of the world's largest natural arches.
In the midst of a falling down house, a rocking chair sits. Might be some kind of metaphor for troubled times in our lives.
Floating Rock, The Narrows, Zion National Park, UT.
The 'Holy Grail' for me on this trip to Utah - at last I managed to hike all the way to Floating Rock.
It actually didn't look that interesting as I approached from downstream, but once I was on the upstream side the light was wonderful.
The rock that this lighthouse sits on is a very dangerous rock to shipping it is only exposed at low tide. The lighthouses on the calf were built in a way to show where this rock is situated. Later it was decided to build a lighthouse on it. Completed in 1874, the 44-metre-high tower is constructed of tapered granite and was designed by David and Thomas Stevenson. It was manned for many years and converted to manual in 1961 after a fire.
My grandfather was stationed here during the WW2.
Another rock (with little orange colour) in the reserve "Piekło" ("Hell") in Poland :)
The Rocks "Piekło" (Hell Rocks) near Niekłań is the inanimate nature reserve, located in the Stęporków commune. The reserve was established in 1959 to protect interesting sandstone formations caused by wind erosion. It covers an area of over 6 ha of mixed forest with a predominance of 200-year-old pines and oaks, but the greatest value of the reserve are picturesque rocks carved by erosive processes in Triassic and Lower Jurassic sandstones. On a length of several hundred meters, there is a series of monadnocks, taking unusual shapes, such as rock mushrooms, chimneys or pulpits. Their height reaches in height from 2 to 8 m. Fantastic forms and their dark color were probably the reason for many legends and names. The reserve is also a concentration of rich flora and fauna.

Kolejna skałka (z lekko pomarańczowym odcieniem) w rezerwacie "Piekło" pod Niekłaniem :)
Rezerwat "Piekło" położony jest na wschód od Niekłania Wielkiego, w gminie Stąporków. Został utworzony w 1959 r. w celu zachowania osobliwych form skalnych. Obejmuje powierzchnię ponad 6 ha lasu mieszanego z przewagą 200-letnich sosen i dębów, jednak największą wartość rezerwatu stanowią malownicze skałki wyrzeźbione przez procesy erozyjne w triasowych i dolnojurajskich piaskowcach. Skałki tworzą dwa oddzielne skupiska: wschodnie i zachodnie. Na długości kilkuset metrów znajduje się ciąg ostańców, przybierających nietypowe kształty, takie jak grzyby skalne, kominy czy kazalnice, osiągające wysokość od 2 do 8 m. Fantastyczne formy i ich ciemne zabarwienie były prawdopodobnie powodem powstania wielu legend oraz nazwy. Rezerwat jest skupiskiem bogatej flory i fauny. W skalnych szczelinach prawdopodobnie przetrwało stanowisko bardzo rzadkiej paproci zanokcicy północnej (Asplenium septentrionale) - reliktu klimatu polodowcowego. "Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem" uznane są za najpiękniejszy rezerwat przyrody nieożywionej w województwie świętokrzyskim.
Some type of layered rock. The back side looks very different. A pic of that will follow if anyone is interested in rocks and minerals.

A rare departure for me, I ventured into the digital world to make a photo for Macro Mondays. The theme is balance, a concept that resonates with me. Thanks to Pierre for letting me use his camera and lens. HMM
Quite well camouflaged.
My thanks and gratitude to all of you for your views, likes and comments. I read them all! It is always very much appreciated.
There a series of small peaks and troughs before we reach the actual summit of Creag Leacach. This means clambering through steep boulder fields like this before we can finally rest! You can see now why the name Creag Leacach translates as 'The Slabby Crag'.
Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).
This is a photo of details on a large rock situated in the middle of the river. I see it as a metaphorical representation of the bardo in Tibetan Buddhism.

Close up image from one of our favourite west coast beaches. A gorgeous calm night with clouds closing in the beach. Not the prettiest lighthouse but distinct and interesting shape of the rock.
Remarkable Rocks. It took 500 million years for rain, wind, and pounding waves to create these aptly named granite boulders which are now part of the Flinders Chase National Park.
