Decided to try and grab some Coastal birds while I was out on the North Carolina Outer Banks.
Check out my blog:
The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Light mist surrounds a few of the cliffs, creating a bit of contrast.

Fast-moving Dunlins zip about in formation over the mouth of Paine's Creek Beach and the shallows at a Cape Cod Bay beach.

Some of the amazing rock formations along Barwon Bluff, taken today on a lovely outing with the Famous Flickr Five.
La "Priedegtstull" (La Chaire), formation rocheuse du Müllerthal.
Elle doit son nom à sa silhouette.
Avant que la plate-forme de la Chaire fût rendue accessible par des marches en pierre et des escaliers en fer (1919), la formation portait le nom de "Tête de Turc", une désignation que l’on trouve encore dans les premiers guides touristiques.
At Tessellated Pavement,Tasman Peninsula
A walking track leads down to this strange rock formation on the shore where peculiar symmertrical erosion patterns have created the impression of a spread of paving stones.
At low tide you can walk across it and investigate some good rockpools :) See?

Looking north-northwest toward the High Falls of the Pigeon River.
In this region, this stream marks the boundary of the United States and Canada. Here it spills over a northeast-southwest-oriented dike of Mesoproterozoic diabase, a dark wall of highly resistant mafic igneous rock. Then it rushes down a canyon deeply incised into much softer shale, siltstone, and graywacke of the Paleoproterozoic Rove Formation. These sedimentary strata can be dimly discerned through the mist at lower left and right.
The tremendous visceral impact of the surging water and splashing spray is matched by the spectacle of geologic time presented at the High Falls. The Rove beds were deposited between 1.836 and 1.78 Ga ago in the Animikie Basin, a downwarped section of the Earth's crust linked to the Penokean mountain-building episode.
Then, at about 1.1 Ga and long after the lofty Penokean Mountains had been beveled flat by erosion, the magma that would become the diabase was injected into a large vertical fissure in the Rove. This occurred during the cataclysmic episode that created the Midcontinent Rift (MCR) and almost tore North America apart. While specialists still debate the details of its origin, the MCR formed in a time of crustal extension and thinning. Its massive outpourings of lava may also be linked to mantle-plume activity.

One of the easier trails in Zion National Park is the Canyon Overlook Trail. You find the trail head at the parking lot on the east end of the tunnel on Utah Highway 9 (Mt. Carmel Road).
(Enlarge the picture and check out the windy road in the canyon below.) This is the view you will be rewarded with when you reach the end of the line.
On the horizon are many formations which have interesting names but my favorite is "The Altar of Sacrifice". You can spot it in the middle. It is the one with 'blood' running down the face of it.
Fascinated by this cloud formation taken near Trawsfynydd - Llyn Morwynion Dam can be seen in the hills (y Garnedd is one of them).
Would love to know if there is any particular name for this type of formation.
In my backyard one day, late morning into the afternoon I looked up and saw these beautiful clouds in the sky with the sun shining through. I thought WOW, this is gorgeous and started shooting. These are the images I was fortunate to obtain! Photo images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP&Designs).
