Sächsische Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz
Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.
Bergformen
In der Regel sind zwei Bergformen zu unterscheiden. Als Steine werden zahlreiche Felsformationen des Elbsandsteingebirges in der Böhmischen und Sächsischen Schweiz bezeichnet. Prominente Beispiele sind der Königstein, der Lilienstein, Gohrisch und Papststein. Die Bezeichnung erstreckt sich nicht auf die hügelartigen Kuppen aus vulkanischem Basalt oder granitischem Material des Grundgebirges wie die Waitzdorfer Höhe oder den Großen Winterberg.
Die kretazischen Sandsteingebilde ragen aus den sogenannten Ebenheiten heraus, dem ehemaligen Niveau der Elbe, und stellen ihrerseits Reste einer früheren Rumpffläche dar. Im Zuge der spättertiären Anhebung des Erzgebirges und des seitlichen Druckes vom Lausitzer Bergland zerbrach die Sandsteinplatte kreuzgitterartig, was bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Fließgeschwindigkeit der Elbe und rückschreitender Erosion in den Seitentälern Angriffsmöglichkeiten und Leitbahnen für die zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers bot. Zunächst verblieben die größeren Tafelberge (Lilienstein), oder bereits stark zerklüftete wie Zirkelstein oder Kaiserkrone, oder aber bereits bewaldete (Kohlbornstein), die sich bei weiterer erosiver Zerstörung in langgezogene Grate (Schrammsteine) bis hin zu einzelnen Felsnadeln (Torwächter) auflösten. Morphologisch härtere Schichtpartien, die der Erosion länger und erfolgreicher Widerstand leisten, bilden meist die oberste Schicht. Der Zusammenbruch erfolgt somit meist von unten her bzw. von den Felsflanken.

Saxon Switzerland - Elbe Sandstone Mountains
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland
Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with local and international climbers.
The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
Hills
As a rule, two types of hill may be distinguished.
Numerous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in both Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland, are known locally in this region as Steine ("rocks"). Prominent examples are the Königstein, the Lilienstein, the Gohrisch and the Papststein. This description does not, however, include the dome-shaped Kuppen such as the Waitzdorfer Höhe or the Großer Winterberg, whose bedrock is made of volcanic basalt or granitic material.
The Cretaceous sandstone formations soar above the so-called "levels" of their surrounding area, the former level of the River Elbe, and represent the remains of an old peneplain. In the course of the Late Tertiary, uplifting of the Ore Mountains and sideways pressure from the Lusatian Highlands shattered the sandstone plate along lines that intersected like a grid and this, combined with the simultaneously increasing stream velocity of the Elbe and regressive erosion in its side valleys, offered new lines of attack and new routes for the destructive power of water. Initially the larger table hills (Lilienstein), or those already deeply fissured like Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone or already forested (Kohlbornstein), remained, but these too broke up later as a result of erosive destruction into long ridges (Schrammsteine) or even into individual rock pinnacles (Torwächter). Morphologically harder sections of strata, that resisted karstification longer and more successfully, generally form the uppermost layers. The collapse of rock structures is usually therefore a result of erosion from below or from the flanks.

the fissure in the sunset bokeh ball reminds me of the fissure in humanity. strangely, in a time of global pandemic, compassion is lacking. interdependence is ignored. we humans are complex!
yet this image also reminds me of what’s good in the world: connection, light, beauty, vulnerability, strength, and kindness. it’s in these bursting flowers. it’s in us, too.
Taken in early October, leaves littering the rock face of the lower section of Toms Branch Falls in Deep Creek. This is perhaps one of the easiest waterfalls to access in Western North Carolina, and in parts one of the more scenic. The face beneath the running water over grown with moss, cracks in the rock face from centuries, perhaps even millennia of water freezing in the deep winter, creating fissures, creating intrigue. The added light, and high contrast scene painting a picture of time standing still, you can almost hear the water rolling, smell the fall leaves not yet washed away, feel the spray over your face and hands even as the temperatures begin to drop. This is why we really love fall, and yet yearn for spring.

Quand la fissure de la banquise rejoint le ciel pour faire qu'un.
(C'est le moment de l'année qu'il faut être prudent sur le bord du fleuve. Je savais que la marée était montante donc je n'avais pas d'inquiétude à ce que la banquise cède sous moi.)
Öxarárfoss is a well known waterfall found within the popular Þingvellir National Park, not far from Reykjavík. In addition to þingvellir holding great cultural significance for Iceland, it also offers some exceptionally interesting geology as well, as this part of the country directly straddles the mid-Atlantic ridge. Throughout the area are dozens of fissures formed by the North American and Eurasian plates rifting apart. This is notable because Öxarárfoss is formed as its stream plunges 37 feet over a cliff formed by such a rift, followed by cascades of another 7 feet.
An overview of the Meradalir eruption in SW-Iceland, taken just before midnight on the first day, 3 August 2022. In the back are lava fountains on a fissure, about 200 m long, which is a vent for magma streaming up at the rate of about 20 cubic metres per second. In front of the fissure is a lake of lava. The edges of the lava "freeze" and build up solid "walls" that contain the molten rock within, until fresh streams of lava overflow them or breach through. The view over the Meradalir valley in the brief August night is quite surreal and spectacular.
I was going to call this "in the groove", but the more I looked at it and the numerous fissures in this limestone pavement, I thought "points failure" was more apt!
This is actually the "lone tree" at Malham which appears to be sadly dying of "ash dieback" like many other trees up here in the Dales.
I was hoping for a decent sunset, but it didn't really happen. The light at this point about 30 minutes before sunset was pretty good though and brought out some nice detail and textures.

Try saying that after a few of your favourite tipples!
This was stark reminder of how hardy these ferns are as they seemingly thrive in the harsh Karst Limestone landscape on the Gait Barrows, near Silverdale in North Lancashire.
I spent a few hours rambling around the incredible Limestone Barrows here and I must have sat for at least 90 minutes waiting for the forecast "sunny spells" to arrive, before finally packing up. It was as grey as an "Elephants Ear" as I waited to take a shot of a lone pine tree emerging from a slab of Carboniferous Limestone. It would have looked great with a bit of sunshine, but hey that can wait for another day.
The bare Karst Limestone landscape here is very different to any of the other areas up here in the North of England. The surface is incredibly resistant to erosion and the fissures are far less frequent and very narrow. I will post a few more shots in due course and I will get back to the location when we get some decent weather.
