Rock hyraxes, also called rock dassies or rock rabbits, are small, stub-tailed, rabbit-like animals native to Africa. Though rock hyraxes resemble rodents, their closest living relatives are actually elephants and manatees. These social mammals primarily eat vegetation. [text credit: Smithsonian]
My first macro shot is not so micro. The ripple in front of this rock attracted my attention and left a rather interesting pattern while serving as my first use with a new macro lens.
We were driving on this country road when suddenly around a bend in the road we see this rock formation.
A pair of UP SD70Ms lead LDG51, the Potash Local, into Bootlegger Canyon after departing the potash mine on its weekly round trip down the Cane Creek Branch. Fun fact: the branch was originally built with 112-115 pound rail originally laid on the D&RGW mainline between Brendel and Cisco.
Y&S 8343 and 1706 navigate one of the numerous rock cuts along the line between Signal and Darlington. 8343 is a former ICG Paducah rebuild GP10 that's been on the railroad for nearly 20 years now.

Crystal Rock is a natural rock formation which is large, situated off the south-west coast of Mauritius. It is located close to the Le Morne mountain. The rock formation magnificently sits in the middle of the ocean, approximately 200 meters away from the shore and offers a gorgeous sight as the surrounding mountains cast shadows over the area around. The large exposed fossilised coral reef is a must-see, as it is a great example of a biochemical reaction leading to the formation of sedimentary rock. Mauritius is a proud owner of a shallow and wide lagoon behind a barrier reef.
The lagoon is the point where the deposition and formation of carbonate minerals take place to give rise to the layering rock creations that support reef-dwelling organisms. Mauritius is a volcanic island and it is slowly subsiding. Hence, this natural rock formation asks for a mandatory visit before it dips below the sea-level and disappears. If you are fit enough, you can even climb this rocky gem and pose for some incredible photos with the charismatic backdrop of the blue waters. There are a wide array of activities that you can take up in the area.

" Boy, you know you make me float
Boy, you really get me high (Ooh)
I feel like I'm on dope
'Cause you, you serve me on a regular (Serve me on a regular)
Boy, you gotta stroke (Ooh)
Before drifting me deeper (Before drifting me deeper)
Baby, now, hold me close
Let's take this overboard now
I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat (Mhm)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position
New position (Ooh), new position
(Now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me "
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.
The rock dove is the wild ancestor of domestic pigeons the world over, domesticated originally to provide food. Feral pigeons come in all shades, some bluer, others blacker - some are pale grey with darker chequered markings, others an unusual shade of dull brick-red or cinnamon-brown. Others can be or less white while others look exactly like wild rock doves. In urban areas where the numbers are allowed to increase they are sometimes considered a nuisance.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, your comments or criticism is very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a lovely evening 👍😊

The class engine of Union Pacific's fleet of six GP40X locomotives leads Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr train No. 6 through Peterson, Utah. In five additional weeks, the SFZ moniker would vanish from the Amtrak timetable, replaced by the new California Zephyr, and routed via the D&RGW between Salt Lake City and Denver.
Looming in the background are the snowy flanks of 9,579 ft. Mount Ogden. The winter and spring seasons of 1982-83 were extraordinarily wet, and the parallel Weber River was up to its banks, and loaded with silt.

combination of actual decorative rock exterior siding and rock pattern fx from ippicy.
Countless layers in this rock face. Once upon a time they were horizontal....... hard to imagine the forces it must have taken to deform it so much. Think the rock is a type of slate.
If you have the time please look as large as possible.
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.
A Rock Wren sings energetically at Red Rock Coulee Natural Area, which protects an intriguing landscape of large concretions spread over an area of prairie. The location is south of the village of Seven Persons which itself is southwest of the city of Medicine Hat in southeastern Alberta, Canada.
Here is a 5 image pano from an awesome evening I had at Chimney Rock a few months ago. The light wasn't explosive, but I was happy to have some color along with minimal wind and no fog;-) Love the view here with the wild Pacific on one side and calm Drakes Bay on the other!
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.

Often referred to as the Little Switzerland of Luxembourg, Mullerthal - or Mëllerdall in Luxembourgish – owes its name to its hilly landscape reminiscent of Switzerland. The Mullerthal Region is above all a unique biotope characterized by rock formations that are as beguiling as they are surprising. It is the unique composition of the rock and soil erosion that have contributed to the creation of this landscape so typical of Luxembourg's Little Switzerland.
I've really found that staying off the interstates and major highways is the best way to travel.
This is about 45 minutes south of Cheney, WA, I believe.
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.
Pak Lap, Sai Kung in Hong Kong, where the rock is characterized by a polygonal shape of the above pattern, usually hexagonal and pentagonal, the pillar straight, up to tens of meters. Fissures between the rocks, forming cliffs look like.
Rock formation:
Crustal plate movement caused the magma, lava and ejected the surface, forming volcanoes. Then quickly emit a lot of ash, rolled down the hillside, covering half of the slope, the situation is like a landslide, there are the ashes of God violently sprayed to form a thick layer of ash, 100 meters deep, from 800 to 1,000 degrees Celsius, and slowly cooling After the volume shrinkage, rifting, the formation of pentagonal, hexagonal and columnar joints.
在香港西貢白腊，那裡的岩石特點是上面有多角形狀紋，通常呈六角形和五角形，柱身筆直，可高達數十米。岩石間有裂隙，形成懸崖峭壁的模樣。
岩石的形成:
地殼的板塊運動導致岩漿、熔岩湧出及噴發出地表，形成火山。大量火山灰繼而快速噴出，滾落山坡，覆蓋了一半山坡，情況像山泥傾瀉，也有灰燼猛烈地噴上天，形成厚厚的火山灰，有100米深，上至攝氏800至1,000度，慢慢冷卻後體積收縮、張裂，形成五角形、六角形和柱狀節理。
Please view in large size^^
The Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) was also observed in the McConnell River, Nunuvat area.
It was also delightful to come across these special creatures which appeared to be scattered across the tundra landscape.
Our field camp was south of the community of Arviat along the west coast of Hudson's Bay.
It was photographed using Kodachrome 64 slide film.
