The shimmering rays of sunlight that pierces through the narrow slits at the surface of the Upper Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona, give off a ghostly aura as they light the sandstone walls.

Roar of the spring-swollen Black River in its rush to Lake Superior at Sandstone Falls. To stand next to this racing torrent of water was just amazing. Taken April 17, 2016 in Bessemer, Michigan.

Navajo Sandstone in Upper Antelope Canyon. The Navajo Sandstone formation is particularly prominent in southern Utah, where it forms the main attractions of a number of national parks and monuments.
Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock.
The sandstone walls of the Rotunda rise 48 feet above the floor.
Prior to the 2015-2016 Rotunda Interior Restoration.

This is another outcrop of Navajo sandstone near Lake Powell. Though greenish in color, it's the same formation as at Coyote Buttes on the other side of the Paria River, Zion Canyon 75 miles to the northwest, and Valley of Fire, Nevada 100 miles to the west. The same sandstone extends into Colorado farther east. Here, the sandstone shows the same crossbedding and dip of the other outcrops. This was taken off the Larkspur Road south of Big Water, Utah.

All credit to National Express for granting Coventry a measure of exceptionalism with a sky blue variation of the Travel West Midlands livery. A smartly-presented 4405 (BV52OBZ), a Dennis Trident/Alexander ALX400 stands out against the sandstone backdrop of the Coventry Council House and the spire of St. Michael's Cathedral.
The Grade II-listed Council House is Tudor in style, inflated to the imperial grandeur of the late Edwardian era and is the work of Edward Garrett and H.W. Simister. Construction began in 1912..

The castle ruin of Hilpoltstein with its keep during the medieval festival "Knights, Minstrels, Cut-purses", Hilpoltstein, Franconia (Bavaria)
Some background information:
Hilpoltstein is the ruin of a hill castle on a sandstone rock. It is located in the old town of Hilpoltstein in Middle Franconia in the federal state of Bavaria, about 30 km (19 miles) south of the city of Nuremberg.
The castle dates back to the 10th century, as archaeologists have found evidences for a first fortification already at that time. However the hill castle, as we know it today, was most likely built not before 1100. In 1109, it was first mentioned in a document. In 1154, the castle was named "castellum dicto Stein", which refers to its founders, the Knights von Stein.
Between 1220 and 1230 the great hall and the keep were built. In 1250 the imperial ministerialis Heinrich von Stein pushed on with the further expansion of the castle. He passed the stronghold on to his son Hilpolt I, who also became the name giver of both town and castle. After the death of Hilpolt V in 1385, Hilpoltstein Castle was acquired by the House of Wittelsbach, but not for a long time. Further owners over the next two centuries were the Dukes of Bayern-Landshut and the Dukes of Pfalz-Neuburg.
In 1606, Dutchess Maria Dorothea, who was the widow of Duke Ottheinrich II of Sulzbach, the patriarch of a branch line of the House of Pfalz-Neuburg, chose the castle as her residence. Hence Hilpoltstein Castle was extended again. But after Maria Dorothea's death in 1639, the estate was abandoned.
In 1793 it was acquired by private persons, who used it as a stone quarry. In 1972, the administrative district of Roth took possession of the meanwhile badly damaged castle and in 1989, the administrative district began to realise extensive measures of protection.
Hilpoltstein Castle can be visited between April and October each year. Every year in May it is the venue of three-day medieval festival "Knights, Minstrels, Cut-purses", where people dress themselves up as medieval citizens and act out their romantic imagination of the Middle Ages.
The town of Hilpoltstein has a population of more than 13,000 and is situated in the administrative district of Roth in Northern Bavaria. The history of the town also dates back to the 10th century. In 1392, Duke Stephan of Bayern-Landshut approved the town privilege of Hilpoltstein. In 1505 Hilpoltstein was attributed to the princedom of Pfalz-Neuburg and in 1542 it was pledged to the free imperial city of Nuremberg for the following 36 years. After this period of time Duke Philipp Ludwig of Pfalz-Neuburg bequeathed both town and castle to his brother Ottheinrich II. After the death of Dutchess Maria Dorothea in 1639, who had chosen Hilpolstein as her place of residence, the castle derelicted and in the following years also the town lost its status as a ducal seat.
In 1799, Hilpolstein was awarded to the Electorate of Bavaria. Due to a boundary adjustment between the Upper Palatinate and Middle Franconia in 1880, the town was affiliated to Middle Franconia. Until 1972 Hilpoltstein was the administrative centre of the administrative district of Hilpoltstein, but has lost this function in the course of local government reorganisation.
From the road, you'd think it doesn't look like a big arch, not very big at all. You'd have to climb up there to find out how wrong that was, and the scale of small things in this wide open countryside.

In 2008, Geoff's Trains visited Sandstone for a three day charter. One morning session was with two NGG16 Garratts, numbers 113 and 153,
Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Raphael Reef, Utah, USA. This is the nature of the base trail for some distance. For scale, the natural gravel is of a fine size applied for trail use. Scanned from color slide.
CHURCH OF ST NICHOLAS RINGMORE:
Heritage Category:Listed Building
Grade:II
List Entry Number:1269163
Date first listed:30-Jun-1949
Statutory Address:CHURCH OF ST NICHOLAS, RINGMORE ROAD
County:Devon
District:Teignbridge (District Authority)
Parish:Shaldon
National Grid Reference:SX 92389 72316
Grade:II
Parish church. C13 origin, largely rebuilt 1622; recorded as being remodelled by 1790 when north wall rebuilt and church extended 9m towards the river; some C19 alteration, but substantially renovated in 1903 when it was designated as a chapel of ease and St Peter's Church (qv) was built in Shaldon. MATERIALS: red sandstone rubble, slate roof. PLAN: Rectangular with south porch and vestry to the north. EXTERIOR: the C13 east end has 5 splayed lancet windows, graduated from the taller centre. North wall with 2 pointed arched windows. One lancet window to west end. West end has one lancet and 2 pointed arched windows to right. INTERIOR: rere-arch to east window with small red sandstone voussoirs over larger freestone voussoirs and plain splayed reveals. Plaster stripped off to interior, revealing C13 rubble masonry to south and west, with quoins of medieval window to east of south wall, and medieval masonry to west window and west of south wall; rere-arches to all other openings are C19/early C20. Approx 1m high Devon marble lining to the sanctuary partly obscures a piscina to the right. c1903 5-bay planked roof with boxed-in trusses and black and white marble floor. FITTINGS: include the bowl of a Saxon or early Norman font reclaimed from the churchyard when the font of 1620 was disposed of in 1881. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N & Cherry B: Devon: London: 1989-: 801).
he Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.
The third local chapel is only a ruin. Church Architects are of the opinion the St Nicholas is of 13th Century origins, a fact borne out by the East end Wall with it’s Lancet window-a fact accepted as proof.
Records of various events refer to this church, and the Register of Baptisms was started in 1616, prior to that, Baptisms had taken place at Haccombe. About this time, the Carew family –now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out repairs to St Nicholas, but the fabric of the building, and it’s architectural features were kept intact. Haccombe Church supplied the Clergy to the Church until 1621 when the first Clergy signed the Baptism register - Elezeus Coke.
Burial and Marriage registers were than started –and in 1671 Lord Clifford bought several local estates including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel visited the church in 1768 and decided that care was needed to restore the Church.
By 1790 a large extension had been added, and a gallery built, along with various other improvements. Mention of a Church organ was made in 1827, but was then replaced with an early version of the Harmonium called a ‘Seraphine’. 1839 saw a gallery added to the North wall for the Sunday School, and a new roof with a domed skylight and wooden Bell tower added in1841. The original font had been removed, and replaced by the existing font-which is Saxon or early Norman.
Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn cancelled plans for any more changes to St Nicholas, as he had decided to build a new church on the reclaimed land on Riverside in Shaldon.
This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.

Dinosaur Footprint State Reservation in Holyoke, MA. is named for the 134 fossilized footprints left approximately 190 million years ago by 28 separate dinosaurs. I remember delighting over these footprints as a child, trying to step where giants strode so many millions of years before. In an unfortunate sign of our times, no child will experience that thrill again. Some thought 190 million years was enough I guess, as I could not find a single trace of a footprint left as vandals and thieves have stolen or destroyed all the prints. Such a selfish world we live in, I can only hope mankind will learn from it's mistakes.

These concretions are quartz sand grains cemented by calcium carbonate.
This bright orange mineral leaching out of the sandstone was an unusual find at Seagreens today. I had never seen this here before. It provided me with a most interesting subject for a natural abstact shot.
