Langdale boulders.have recently been designated by English Heritage as an ancient monument of national importance, following the discovery of prehistoric 'cup and ring' markings. These consist of indentations and concentric circles, which date to about 2,500-5,000 years ago.

Taken at Boulder:
A look back down to the head of Little Loch Broom and its whitecaps. It's not that little, being 9.5 miles long from mouth to its head.
I guess it could also be entitled "A sweeping view" 😄

Having a little fun - the bison (buffalo) look like huge boulders when presented in mono and some artistic sketch.
Happy Slider Sunday!
The idea was inspired by artist Bev Doolittle's - "Calling The Buffalo"

Gengið að Stórurð (Hrafnabjargaurð) frá Innri Hríshöfða sem er Njarðvíkurmeginn gangan er um 5,5 km hvora leið og tekur um 2,5 klst. One of East Iceland's most illustrious spots is the Stórurð. It consists of gigantic tuff boulders, charming meadows and attractive ponds. This wonderful scene can be reached in 2.5 hours on foot from Vatnsskarð pass.
We crossed the ridge from Putrid Pete's Peak toward Mount Defiance. Lots of travel up and around boulders.
Went for a 2 hour walk on Friday with friends. Great views from the far side of the Peninsula out to the south Pacific.
We had a Covid death in NZ yesterday. Vaccinations are starting here next week. Have a good weekend and thanks very much if you have time for a comment.
Sunset at Mangaweka's Whitecliffs' Boulders. Manawatū-Whanganui region, in the North Island of New Zealand.
A couple of the Koutu Boulders in the Hokianga Harbour, New Zealand. It was late in the afternoon and it was getting quite dark already.
I think I must have been at the wrong end of the beach as I only saw a handful of them.
The boulders are excellent examples of concretions : hardened nodules that form within sedimentary rocks. The word concretion comes from Latin and means “grown together”. They are composed of the same material as the surrounding rock and they form when a cementing mineral binds grains of sediment into a cohesive mass. It has been estimated that the largest of the boulders may have taken 5 million years to grow.
There are other examples of concretions around New Zealand, the most publicized being the Moeraki boulders south of Oamaru. The Concretions in the Hokianga are found on both sides of the Harbour, and are numerous beneath the surface of the surrounding land.
