For Bush Philosopher - I tried this with a polariser, as you sugggested, but it did not seem to bring out any more detail in the cliffs. I think at this time of year shooting pretty much into the light means that the cliff detail will always be lost, or the sky totally washed out. I suppose I could use this new fangled HDR, but mostly I do not like the results there.
Lower Cement Bed. It was around here I started noticing the Belemnites protruding from the clay/soft rock.
The stairs are make of metal with concrete base. The rocks on the bottom with the tide out but coming in make for difficult walking if you don't have the proper boots. They are slippery, rounded, on top of each other and outright nasty. I had running shoes on which were not the proper footwear. It's lonely down there in the fog and the sound of the waves telling that the tide is indeed making its way in. Beware, because before you know it your way back to safety can be cut off. that other group had wandered around way off along the cliff base behind me. I couldn't see or hear them.
I took this on a hike. It was taken looking up the side of a vertical cliff wall toward the sky, so the plant itself was sticking out horizontally from the rocky cliff-side.
These cliffs are unique. There are three bands of rock, each a different colour. They remind me of icecream in three flavours.
This is Saint Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park in SW Texas. It is where the Rio Grande makes a huge 'S' curve as it tavels south as the border between Texas and Mexico. As it passes through these mountains it has carved a passage with 1,100 -1,200 foot high steep walls known as St. Elena Canyon. You can walk into the Canyon for about a Km. until the river stretches to both walls and you can go no further - what an awsome and eerie sight and feeling.
Mexico is the cliffs to the left, Texas on the right. You can drive up and park to within about 1/2 Km. behind where this was taken.
If you look closely (enlarge) you will see some people in the lower right corner, on the trail, to give you idea of perspective. This was my 2nd visit here and it amazes me.
