The Garden Wall capped by Bishop’s Cap rises above Going-to-the-Sun Highway in Glacier National Park, Montana. The wall is a mountain landform called an arête which is a sharp ridge separating two cirques or glacial valleys. The term has it origin from an old French word which means fish backbone or fishbone. The Cliffs are formed by Middle Proterozoic, mildly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks between 1.6 and 0.8 billion years old. The rocks at the top of the ridge and that form the Bishop’s Cap are argillites, siltites; quuartzites and carbonates that geologist call the Snowslip Formation. The bulk of the ridge is madeup of thick beds of dolomite and limestone with thin shale and silt interbeds that belong to the Helena (also called Siyeh)) Formation.

Alentejo - Monsaraz
Perched above the Alqueva dam, Monsaraz benefits from a strategic location and a defensive potential that has always been recognized, as the Roman, Visigothic and Celtic passages attest.
Conquered to the Moors, in the reign of D. Dinis and delivered its defense to the Templars, it is this military order that adds to it, in the 14th century, the walls and the castle from where, even today one can look at neighboring Spain or extend the view across the great Alentejo plains.
With its narrow cobbled streets, which meander among ancient houses with white walls, it offers those who pass by there a very authentic feel of an ancient and medieval Portugal.
Alentejo - Monsaraz
Empoleirada por cima da albufeira do Alqueva, Monsaraz benificia duma localização estratégica e de um potencial defensivo desde sempre reconhecido, como a passagem de romanos , visigodos e celtas o atestam.
Conquistada aos mouros , no reinado de D. Dinis e entregue a sua defesa aos Templários, é esta ordem militar que lhe acrescenta, no século 14, as muralhas e o castelo de onde, ainda hoje se pode olhar para a vizinha Espanha ou estender a vista através das grandes planÃcies Alentejanas.
Com suas ruas estreitas de paralelepÃpedos, que serpenteiam entre casas antigas de paredes brancas, oferece a quem por lá passa uma sensação, muito autentica, de um Portugal antigo e medieval.
My subject of interest was the fishing boat, but the photo ended up including this ornamental stone wall as well.
The wall is part of a children's play area, the latter of which is on the other side of the right hand wall.

I'm revisiting the photos I took of Bryce Canyon back in 2009, reprocessing many, adding a few, and deleting others.
