I love these wave and water worn foreground rocks below the Ogmore cliffs, you can imagine the years of wear and tear that have formed these beautiful shapes. It's a place I never tire of. Two friends lost at sea, is a track by Richmond Fontaine, and is a beautiful title with many meanings!
The sun sets behind he Absaroka Mountains in northwestern Wyoming. The peak on the left is Pilot Peak, elevation 11,522 feet (3,512 m), and to the right is Index Peak, elevation 10,709 feet (3,264 m). This view was taken from the Beartooth Highway as it descends down from the Beartooth Plateau into the Valley of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. Geologically, Pilot and Index Peaks are glacial horns that were created as multiple glacial tongues erode away at a ridge and leave remnants of the ridge between them. The classic example of a glacial horn is the Matterhorn in the Alps.
This is a pretty old pic. You can't get this shot now, it's all covered up with yuccas in front of it (you can just see them moving in from the right). What's left of a wall at the old cannery in Alviso, California.
The iconic Nugget Point (or 'The Nuggets' as referred to by the locals) is located near Kaka Point. There is a car park area from where you commence your walk to the Nugget Point Lighthouse. Wave-eroded rocks, which are likened to the shape of gold nuggets, can be seen from the viewing platform at the end of the path.

Reflecting about the year 2017 and this is probably a 57 Chevy BelAire which makes it 60 years old now.
This is a detail of a "200 Lire" coin (the old italian currency) found near the sea shore by my wife.
More in detail, it is a "special edition" for the 1992 "World Exhibition of thematic Philately" held in Genova.
I tried to perfectly align the focus plane with the coin, but the high magnification (and my poor skills) prevented me to obtain a perfect result.
Therefore, the left part of the image is sharper than the right one.
Anyway, I hope that you will like the result.
Have a nice and happy MM, dear friends! ;-)
A wet day gives me a chance to look back at a few shots from earlier this month. This one was from a day with a big sea running and beautiful low afternoon sun. It's always fun experimenting with when to take the shot and for how long. Castles is by Damien Jurado.
Although a classic view, I really enjoyed taking the image and worth climbing over the fence for! :P
Whilst I was here taking photographs my sister and mum were at the visitor centre in Lulworth and when we later met up they told me a few geology facts. The archway would have originally been a cave that was eroded away over time. Geologists predict that over time, the roof of Durdle Door will be eroded away, leaving just a stack. There are several other limestone stacks along the coast. Although considering that Durdle Door was formed about 140 million years ago I'm guessing that neither us or any near decedents will ever see this.
It makes you realise that we are only here for the shortest blip and for most of the time this beach has been on the earth it hasn't seen humans.....

Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is an extremely popular beauty spot.
It is located on the Lulworth Estate in south Dorset and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The coastline is of such international geological importance that it was designated England’s first natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 and is now part of a family of natural wonders including America’s Grand Canyon and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
The magnificent natural limestone arch was formed when the power of the waves eroded the rock and forged a hole through the middle. The name Durdle is derived from an old English word ‘thirl’, which means to pierce, bore or drill.

Red Cliffs, Dawn. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Red Cliffs, in dawn light, in front of Death Valley and distant desert mountains.
During my January visit to Death Valley National Park I ended up exploring this scene over a period of several days. My ability to travel more widely in the park was limited by storm-related road closures, so I took a closer look that usual at areas nearer the main attractions of the park. The first time I was in this area I missed the good light, but saw the potential, so I returned during that day later on to scout it more thoroughly. (That led to a lovely, solitary hike up a long wash that doesn’t seem to get many visitors.) I went back for the third time on this morning, arriving well before sunrise and photographing until the light became less compelling.
There’s a whole lot of “Death Valley stuff” in this photograph. The foreground includes some of the eroded badlands terrain or multi-colored soils. Above this a band of rugged red cliffs catches the day’s first direct sunlight. Further in the distance immense salt flats are still in shadow, and near the limits of visibility another big mountain range rises in the atmospheric haze.

... somebody here with magic mushroom feelings? ;-)
Gestern hatte ich mir vorgenommen so lange zu suchen bis ich auch hier in GE einen Fliegenpilz finde - wie Ihr seht - hier gibt es sie auch! :-)
O rosto, sulcado pelo tempo, se confunde com a parede desgastada. (His face, furrowed by time, is mixed with the wall eroded.)

Some Coastal erosion taking place on the South West end of the island of Trinidad . Not many locals even know about this or even seen this spot . I have lived here most of my life and this is the first time i have seen it .. I wish i had more time to capture it in better light .. although i do really like this shot ..
Thanks for looking!!
