One thing that stood out to me in our recent trip to the peak district was the stone walls, literally miles upon miles of handbuilt stone walls seperating the grided network of ancient farm perimeters. I seem to remember once hearing that the stones used are called chips and potatoes, the large stones being the potatoes and the small the chips. Not sure if this is 'actually' correct, just a vague childhood memory, which I proudly annouced as a definate fact. I think the dogs believed me at least...
One of the few landscape orientated images that I took on our visit to Winskill Stones in the Yorkshire Dales.

They wavy patterns on the stones is called slump bedding, it occurs when the wet sand that formed the rocks was being covered by more sediment, the water in it was able to escape upwards, distorting the bedding surfaces.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

A orillas del Río Odiel, muy cerquita de Sotiel Coronada, imposible resistirse a una sesión de texturas.
Perched on its stone throne, the gull stared with fierce authority, claiming its domain as the "Stone Sovereign."

Green Stone/ Piatra Verde, Slanic - Prahova, Romania
Mount Verde or Green Stone was formed by consolidation of volcanic ash over time, ordered geological layers with perfectly flat surfaces, volcanic tuff, which gets this intense color especially after rain. Roca was used to manufacture a type of cement is very brittle.
The mountain is unique in Europe, but if you do not intervene, he would disappear completely in a few years because the rock from which very quickly grind.
It can be seen from Slanicului center and to get to him and then pass through Grosani asphalt road that connects Slanic of Campina.
A ray of sunlight catching the autumn colours of the leaves in Stone Edge Plantation near Chesterfield.
Had a little star trip down Southerndown beach again the other day, not the right conditions for the Milkyway but somebody left some stone stacks for me to take pictures of instead.
It was so cold though don't think I could feel my hands for a good 15 minutes after, I think I need to invest in some decent gloves haha.
Two photo's stitched together.. they weren't planned to be stitched together but with the help of Photoshop auto fill in it seemed to work :-)
Found in an overgrown quarry near home.
Our lockdown for South Island still working, at least till 3 om when we all get updated. Our vaccination and contact checking have gone into high gear fueled by disaster in Sydney.

Tried making a pencil pastel style drawing in Photoshop with a photo of my good mate Richard skimming a stone in Wainuiomata. Lots more learning to be done. I lost the original file so this is a scan of a print because you know I like to keep things simple. And sarcasm, I quite enjoy a dash of that too.
One of the most magnificent archaeological features on Dartmoor. This stone row with its massive terminal stone is seen from within the cairn circle sited at its end.
The ancient stone row stands on Hingston Hill, near Down Tor, about 2 Km from Burrator reservoir in Dartmoor National Park. The stones were restored from their fallen state in 1894. They probably date from neolithic or bronze age times and may have had a sacred religious significance.
The cairn circle is 11 metres in diameter. The terminal stone is about 3 metres high and the stome row is comprised of 157 standing stones stretching a distance of 349 metres.
Decided to try polishing one by hand. Found some nice ones Thanksgiving weekend and tried this one. Two more to go.
Today we visited the Wasit Wetland Center, an award winning artificial wetland centre where a rich variety of avifauna are preserved and cared for in their natural environment. This is a Sand Grouse which was kind enough to sit still for me to take a close-up shot.
