Split Mountain is one of 7 peaks forming a beautiful 270 degree mountain cirque in Wyoming’s Wind River Range. Four of the peaks, including Split Mountain, are over 13,000 feet high. Stroud glacier stretches across the base of 4 peaks to the right of this image, and is the source of the Green River, the Colorado River’s largest tributary.
A thin line of trees can be seen growing on top of a very old moraine at the cirque’s exit. That glacier is long gone, and the cirque's valley is now all rock, meadow and river.
Split ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kroatiens. Sie ist die größte Stadt Südkroatiens und gilt daher im Volksmund als „Hauptstadt Dalmatiens“,
Die Keimzelle der heutigen Stadt Split ist der Diokletianspalast: Kaiser Diokletian ließ ihn um 300 erbauen.
Spätestens ab dem Frieden von Aachen (812) war Spalatum Teil des byzantinischen Themas von Dalmatien.[4] Slawische Fürstentümer entstanden im Hinterland.
Als die Republik Venedig unter dem Dogen Pietro II. Orseolo ihre Macht auf die romanischen Restgebiete auszudehnen begann, aus denen Byzanz sich zurückgezogen hatte, akzeptierte Spalatum – wie andere dalmatinische Städte und Inseln – die venezianische Oberhoheit.[5] Das trug dem Dogen den zusätzlichen Titel Dux Dalmatiae (Doge/Herzog von Dalmatien) ein.[5]
Im Zuge des Fünften Osmanisch-Venezianischen Krieges (um Zypern) fielen 1571 mit Solin und Kamen (Sasso di Spalato) Teile des Landgebietes der Stadt an die Türken.
Mit der sukzessiven Zurückdrängung der Osmanen im frühen 18. Jahrhundert rückte die Bedrohung auch territorial weit von Spalatos Landgebiet. Die Stadtbevölkerung wuchs, und die Zugereisten aus dem Hinterland verbreiteten das Kroatische als Umgangssprache, auch gefördert durch die Illyrische Akademie.[28]
Die Stadt wurde von den Partisanen im Jahr 1944 befreit, und wurde als Republik Kroatien in dem Nachkriegsbund Jugoslawien aufgenommen,. Im Jahr 1991 trennte sich Kroatien aus Jugoslawien nach dem kroatischen Unabhängigkeitskriege.
Split (Croatian pronunciation: [splît]; Italian: Spalato, see Name section) is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, centred on the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian. Spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings, Split's greater area includes the neighboring seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is a link to numerous Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
Split is one of the oldest cities in the area. While it is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old counting from the construction of Diocletian's Palace in 305 CE, archaeological research relating to the original founding of the city as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 4th century BCE establishes the urban history of the area as being several centuries older.
Split became a Byzantine city, to later gradually drift into the sphere of the Byzantine vassal, the Republic of Venice, and the Croatian Kingdom, with the Byzantines retaining nominal suzerainty. For much of the High and Late Middle Ages, Split enjoyed autonomy as a free city, caught in the middle of a struggle between Venice and the king of Hungary for control over the Dalmatian cities.
Venice eventually prevailed and during the early modern period Split remained a Venetian city, a heavily fortified outpost surrounded by Ottoman territory. Eventually, its hinterland was won from the Ottomans in the Morean War of 1699, and in 1796, as Venice fell to Napoleon, the Treaty of Campo Formio rendered the city to the Habsburg Monarchy. In 1805, the Peace of Pressburg added it to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and in 1809, after the Treaty of Schönbrunn, it was included directly in the French Empire, as part of the Illyrian Provinces. After Napoleon's defeat in 1814, it was eventually granted to the Austrian Empire, where the city remained a part of the Austrian Kingdom of Dalmatia until the fall of Austria-Hungary in 1918 and the formation of Yugoslavia.
The city was liberated again by the Partisans in 1944, and was included in the post-war Federal Yugoslavia, as part of its republic of Croatia. In 1991 Croatia seceded from Yugoslavia amid the Croatian War of Independence.

This photo illustrates the dramatic sunset illuminating the sky and casting of an orange tone on the clouds crossing at an opposite diagonal. Fall is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting seasons to explore and photograph the Split Rock Lighthouse. This photo was inspired from Greg Lundgren's Split Rock Lighthouse Reflection.

Croatia
Split, historically known as Spalato, is the second-largest city of Croatia, after the capital Zagreb, the largest city in Dalmatia and the largest city on the Croatian coast. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea.
The Split Rock Lighthouse was erected in the early 20th century as the result of a terrible storm that devastated around 30 ships.
The lighthouse and grounds are open to the public via a fee through the Minnesota Historical Society. During the fall, the views of the lighthouse heading east on Highway-61 were quite spectacular - even on this blustery late afternoon!

Granite boulder split in half near Glen Innes, NSW.
This type of splitting or weathering usually occurs in this area through the ingress of moisture/water into cracks at the top of the boulder. Because it is a very cold area in winter, the water freezes and expands and this cycle repeated over and over during eons eventually opens up the cracks larger and larger, each time to a bit more water and then a bit more expansion as the water freezes. In time, it just goes snap. This type of weathering is not uncommon in granite regions like this.
