Loch Katrine, Trossachs.

This was taken from more or less the same location as the preceding shot. As much as anything, I was intrigued by the form and texture of the metamorphic rocks, trying to imagine the monumental forces which were applied to them in the metamorphosing process; the nearest rock, for example, looks more like a croissant than a rock!

Another interesting geological feature of Mexican Hat.

This formation is located just outside of Mexican Hat and it has a very primordial look to it. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the Milky Way over it. :)

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!

When the former Isar weir in Ismaning was demolished (converted to artificial river rapids), many rocks were left for a more "natural" appearance.

A pretty spot along this river in Yellowstone National Park.

First time visit to this lovely place in Pembrokeshire.

San Francisco’s Seal Rocks rise from the Pacific Ocean surf just off the shore of Lands End as the sun begins to set on the western edge of the city.

After the not so historic 2015 blizzard.

A rainy day and yet another storm coming, I have just a few minutes to take pictures of these beautiful rocks before they restart to rain and nightfall !!

All need is some sand, sea, surf & barnacle-clad rocks to keep me happy. A camera helps too :)

Happy weekend everyone!

This image was captured early on a Monday morning on my to the North York moors. I managed to clamber over the precarious rocks at Flamborough before waiting for the sun to rise up over the horizon- perfect start to the day!

Agüero, Huesca, Spain

Explored on December 6 2015

Just a wee picture I took this morning at the bottom of my garden. The Sun was shining and the tide was in so couldn't resist this capture. I think it is beautiful hopefully somebody else will too...

Toma parcial en el Anfiteatro, es una formación natural donde la erosión del agua, en su momento y del viento conformaron la roca sedimentaria del lugar. Se encuentra en la Quebrada de las Conchas, al costado de la Ruta 68, a 48 kilómetros de Cafayate, Salta.

How can you not be inspired by what has been named Cathedral Rock ... quite glorious to see in the early morning light as the sun comes up.

Sedona is quite spiritual that is for sure.

Another re edit of one from skjervoy Norway last yr

A close up view, about 12mm x 8mm, of the edge of a blue agate slice sitting on top of a slice of blue fluorite.

Agate is a rock consisting primarily of cryptocrystalline silica, chiefly chalcedony, alternating with microgranular quartz. It is characterized by its fineness of grain and variety of colour. Although agates may be found in various kinds of host rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks (Wiki).

Fluorite is a colourful mineral, both in visible and ultraviolet light, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses (Wiki).
