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.
Rock pillars in the Cataract Gorge, just a short walk away from the city centre of Launceston in the north of Tasmania, Australia. The gorge features several similar rock formations, which are popular climbing spots.

Rock cities (Lessinia landscape) 20231011
The Lessinia landscape observed from the outside has conspicuous surface (epigeal) karst phenomena: dolines, basins, sinkholes, monoliths, rock cities.
The best known surface phenomena are dolines and rock cities: the former are funnel- or bowl-shaped depressions, always related to tunnels, cavities or caves.
In contrast, the monoliths that give rise to rock cities are the result of erosion, mainly of meteoric water on the surface layer of Biancone and subsequent penetration into existing fissures in the Ammonitic Red.
Visitors to the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula are rewarded with a view of Percé Rock, one of the world's largest natural arches.
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.
Another one of the rock formations at Widemouth Bay.
I know very little about geology but have read online that these are Silesian, mostly from the Bude Formation and date back to the Carboniferous period, more than 300 million years old. They were formed in a giant tropical lake (Bude Lake) that folded when Britain and France collided.
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).
Hiked to the top of Beacon Rock yesterday and this was one of the views on the way up. Beacon Rock is located in Stevenson, WA.
they are there until the tide comes in and washes them away!

In the midst of a falling down house, a rocking chair sits. Might be some kind of metaphor for troubled times in our lives.
