I found an interesting granite deposit on top of Steamboat Rock today. Actually, there's quite a few, but this one was the most interesting!
Split, una ciudad en la costa dálmata de Croacia, es famosa por sus playas y por el complejo con forma de fortaleza de su centro, el Palacio de Diocleciano, erigido por el emperador romano en el siglo IV. Las ruinas que se extienden por la ciudad incluyen más de 200 edificios, que alguna vez fueron miles. En el interior de las paredes de piedra blancas y bajo sus patios, se encuentra una catedral y una variedad de tiendas, cafés, bares, hoteles y casas.
Sunrise splitting the uprights over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge from Fort Desoto. Here is the first of my edited shots from this morning. Love our beautiful sunrises.
Small but pretty falls in the Grampians. It only took a fairly short but beautiful walk to get there.

The Split Rock Lighthouse peeks out of the fall foliage along the shore of Lake Superior.
The lighthouse was built after a 1905 storm that damaged 29 boats. It was first lit in 1910.
The brass framed light is made up of 252 prisms and has a range of 22 miles.
Lake Superior is the worlds largest freshwater lake holding 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water! That's 3 quadrillion!!! That's enough to flood North and South America with one foot of water!!!
Split Rock lighthouse stands on a 133 ft (41m) sheer cliff along the Minnesota North Shore of Lake Superior. It was built in 1910 after the infamous 1905 storm in which 29 ships had been lost or damaged. At the time, the area had no roads and all construction materials had to be delivered by boat and lifted up the cliff by a crane (which somehow had to get up the cliff first, I presume).

„Split Decision“, eine Lichtpassage von James Turell, besetzt eine zentrale Stelle im Kunstmuseum Mannheim: den Übergang zwischen Neubau und Jugendstilbau. Die Passage bietet eine Blickachse in den Altbau auf den reflektierenden „Großen Fisch“ von Constantin Brancusi im Erdgeschoss.
Four motors power a northbound manifest past the Pipestone Cargill facility at a location on the BNSF Marshall Subdivision called Split Rock at milepost 108.2. Minnesota Highway 23 runs parallel to the Marshall Subdivision all the way from Jasper to Willmar. The highway was busy on this particular morning, so I opted to not run across the highway and instead pulled off a shot from the shoulder.
Did a giant come by here and split this rock in two with his knife?
Brimham Rocks are formed from a medium to coarse sandstone known both as the Lower Brimham Grit and also as the Lower Plompton Grit, one of a series of such sandstones laid down in the later part of the Carboniferous period in what is now the Pennine region. In formal terms this particular grit which is between 10 and 30m thick, forms a part of the Hebden Formation, itself a sub-unit of the Millstone Grit Group. It was deposited 318-317 million years ago during the Kinderscoutian substage of the Bashkirian stage. The rock which has traditionally been referred to as Millstone Grit, originated as river-deposited sands in a delta environment and contains both feldspar and quartz pebbles. Deposition from moving water has resulted in the cross-bedding which is very evident in most of the outcrops. Brimham Rocks has been described as "a classic geomorphological site, significant for studies of past and present weathering processes and their contribution to landscape evolution." (Wikipedia)

This is an image of a Hot Wheels car named Split Decision, edit done in topaz studio 2 for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
An enormous boulder split in half in Joshua Tree National Park. There are several boulders in the vicinity of the Split Rock Trail that are split and many are eroded into interesting shapes. Wilbur made an effort to get close to the split, but decided the scramble over and under large boulders wasn't worth it as we planned on hiking to the Eagles Nest Cabin.
Happy Blue Monday!
Mørkgonga is a deep and narrow gorge that cuts through the hillside of the Krokskogsplateau in Buskerud, Norway. It was formed when a type of rock more porous than the surrounding mountains eroded away. The hike up there is very steep, there is a chain to help you up in the steepest parts.
At the top, wide views of the Steinsfjord more than 500 meters below await. And your typical selfie opportunity.

I was on top of a hill trying in vain to capture a sunset, but the lens flare was intense, so in a last minute decision, I started to wander around looking for a creative solution. I think I found one in this shot!
