Nineteenth century sandstone gatepost, part of the Caritas complex in Darlinghurst, purchased by St Vincent's Hospital from the NSW government for $1, and promptly sold for $20 000 000 to a private developer, St Hiliers.
The Hawkesbury sandstone at Durras is incredible. I never tire of walking all over it looking at the different patterns. I feel like the kids there that are excitedly running around looking in rockpools, only i'm excitedly running around looking through my viewfinder :)

Interesting striped sedimentary sandstone. I'm pretty sure this is sandstone, you can clearly see the grains in the edge view . Not sure how it's got the stripes.
Sandstone Wall, Twin Arches Loop Trail, Pickett State Park and Forest, Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Tennessee
Seven Hollows Trail has many fabulous sandstone glades, all covered in moss and lichens.
Petit Jean State Park, Conway County, Arkansas
Hand-hewn sandstone blocks. The Hero of Wellington is made of these, as are an awful lot of buildings around Sydney.
The following outcrops are located along the Grassy Cove Segment of the Cumberland Trail along Black Mountain, just southeast of Crab Orchard, Tennessee.
The valley or cove floor is actually a limestone sink, with these huge boulders lining the tops of the surrounding mountains. You will find rugged sandstone, bejeweled with pure white quartzite pebbles, and a maze of convoluted, fluted corridors, strange, stack-stoned chimney rocks and pillars, unexpected windows and passageways winding in glorious confusion.

Petra is rightly considered one of the world's wonders, and its key component is the soft and workable sandstone.
Sandstone cliff in woodland a short distance from the east bank of the River South Esk, near Gorebridge, Midlothian, Scotland.
Sandstone Falls is an iconic feature of the New River in Southern West Virginia. This 25 foot waterfall spans a wide section of the River and is part of the New River National River park system.
Calamites fossil wood in sandstone in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
This is float from the lowermost Pottsville Group, a Pennsylvanian-aged, cyclothemic succession in eastern Ohio that contains nonmarine shales, marine shales, siltstones, sandstones, coals, marine limestones, and chert ("flint"). The lower Pottsville dates to the late Early Pennsylvanian. The upper part dates to the early Middle Pennsylvanian. The Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary is apparently somewhere near the Boggs Member (?).
At this site, the basal Pottsville is a spectacular quartz-pebble conglomerate, with a quartzose sandstone unit above it, plus coal, sandstone, and shale above that.
In eastern and northeastern Ohio, the conglomeratic base of the Pottsville Group is called the Sharon Conglomerate (a.k.a. Sharon Sandstone; Sharon Formation; Sharon Member). The literature points out that the Sharon elsewhere in Ohio is not directly correlatable with the conglomerate exposed at this site near Jackson, Ohio. Thus, it has been suggested that the unit at this locality be referred to as the "Sharon" Conglomerate.
The fossil plant shown here is in quartzose sandstone derived from the "Sharon" Conglomerate (or possibly a separate sandstone body near the top of the outcrop). The fossil is identifiable as Calamites, a relatively common sphenophyte in Pennsylvanian nonmarine rocks. Calamites is a fossil calamitacean sphenophyte, a group of plants that has only one living genus - Equisetum (= horsetails/scouring rushes). Sphenophytes are readily recognized - they have a central axis (stem) with whorls of leaves originating from widely-spaced nodes (e.g., see: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/15344675408).
Classification: Plantae, Sphenophyta, Equisetales, Calamitaceae
Stratigraphy: float from the "Sharon" Conglomerate, or possibly from an overlying sandstone unit, lowermost Pottsville Group, Lower Pennsylvanian
Locality: Jackson North Outcrop - roadcut along the southwestern side of Rt. 35, immediately southeast of the Rt. 35-Lloyds Bridge Road intersection (the northwestern intersection - there are two of them), north of the town of Jackson, northwest-central Jackson County, southern Ohio, USA (39° 06’ 32.94” North latitude, 82° 40’ 39.99” West longitude)
