A few more photos to come as we walked around the lake whilst we were walking in the Sunshine Meadows region of the Rocky Mountains.
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.
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.

*For those of you outside of the UK who don't know what 'rock' is, it's a type of stick-shaped boiled sugar confectionery! :-)
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.
they are there until the tide comes in and washes them away!

A small piece of natural Himalayan rock salt. This unrefined rock salt is mined primarily from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, and gets its distinctive pink hue from trace minerals such as iron oxide. It comes from ancient marine evaporite deposits buried near the foothills of the Himalayas.
Being translucent halite, I shone some light through it using my multi-purpose “Starry Night/Milky Way” projector—giving this little chunk of salt a rather unexpected second life.
And of course, that immediately made me think of Richard “Rocky” Hardcastle from the wonderful British sitcom As Time Goes By, with his memorable “Rock on!” catchphrase.
One of the many great shows the British produced. 😊 Dad's Army, A fine Romance etc.

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
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.
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).
London Calling is the third studio album by the English rock band the Clash, originally released as a double album in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1979.
The album's cover photograph by Pennie Smith became one of the most recognisable images, and Q magazine later cited it as the "best rock 'n roll photograph of all time". During this period, The Clash began to be regularly billed as "The Only Band That Matters". The album's front cover features a photograph of bassist Paul Simonon smashing his Fender Precision Bass against the stage at the Palladium in New York City on 20 September 1979.
Like many early punk bands, The Clash protested against monarchy and aristocracy, but unlike many of their peers, they rejected nihilism. Instead, they found solidarity with a number of liberation movements and were involved with groups such as the Anti-Nazi League. At their performance on 30 April 1978 at the Rock Against Racism concert in London's Victoria Park for a crowd of between 50,000 and 100,000 people,[127] Strummer wore a T-shirt identifying two far-left armed militant groups: Italy's Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse, misspelt as Brigade Rosse on the T-shirt) and West Germany's Red Army Faction.

"Rock'n'roll is an attitude, not a musical or formal style. It identifies the way you do things: writing can be rock, just as shooting a film is. It's a way of life."
