On the idyllic Seychelles island of La Digue, huge granite boulders complement the beauty of translucent water, white sandy beaches and jungle vegetation
The Côte de Granit Rose is an impressive coastline in Brittany in northern France. I waited until sunset to take this shot as the low light shines on to the rocks intensifying their colour almost making them glow. I decided on a long exposure to give the picture more drama.
This lovely traditionally built granite house lies in the picturesque village of Hollywood, Co. Wicklow.
I dont think its a working farm anymore and it was probably bought privately. However, there are Swings and Slides in the garden to the right so there are children and happiness here. Now I love that.
Do hope you like too.

My Photo Stream. Do have a peek;
During the ice ages, most of northern Europe was covered by an inland ice that slowly moved across the landscape. This rock "moved" to Holland 100,000 years ago and is now back home, brought here by the artist Bart Eysink Smeets on the 23rd of October 2019 ! A crazy idea, but now the rock stands here on Lilla holmen !
After a cold night in the tent there's nothing like warming up to a hot sunrise ❄️ - ☀️

Granite erosion-control blocks along the Galveston, Texas, Seawall are pounded by the Gulf of Mexico surf on a summer morning.
The Gulf of Mexico roars onto granite blocks at the base of the Galveston Seawall, Galveston, Texas.
The Granite Dells is a geological feature north of Prescott, Arizona. The Dells consist of exposed bedrock and large boulders of granite that have eroded into an unusual lumpy, rippled appearance. The Granite Dells are 1.4 billion years old. Lake Watson is a manmade lake near Prescott Arizona. The combination of the Dells and the lake make for some very interesting scenery.
I processed this picture with Photoshop and a little help from Dynamic Auto Painter. I used three textures, each of which had to be modified in Photoshop to make them useable.

The Bakersfield-Glennville Road (Woody Road) cuts trough and outcrop of granodiorite on a ridge in the Sierra Nevada Foothills east of Woody, Kern County, California; Bakersfield-Glennville;
This waterfall along the Chief Joseph Highway (WY 296) appears during the Spring runoff. Quite a bit of water this year, I don’t remember seeing water at this location during the summer. The water falls over till deposited by the Pleistocene Crandall Glacier. At the falls the till overlies Archean granite and gneiss. After going over the falls, the water flows down the borrow pit of the highway.
In the old part of Porto along the river (here the Rua da Reboleira in Ribeira) the frame of the houses is made from solid granite. Some of the buildings, such as that with the Gothic arches, go back to the 14th century. A number of Porto's buildings were damaged in the massive 18th century earthquake. Not these.
A beautiful set of falls and very convenient to shoot. My GPS said we found it and I didn't see a thing. So, I turned into a gas station to ask directions. The lady said- it's right here on the left- you can park at the end of our lot. She was right about 25 yards to a lookout!
A side view of the 17th century gatehouse to the Lanhydrock estate in Cornwall. Magmatic intrusion materials, such as granite, form the geological skeleton of the Cornish topography. Since prehistoric times, granite has been used whenever the mark of permanence was required: we were here!
A granite jetty or, more-properly, groyne, reaches into the Gulf of Mexico from the Galveston Island, Texas, beach.
This granite knob lies in the Sweewater Rocks in the Granite Mountains near Jeffery City, Wyoming. Geologically, this granite knob is located in the Archean-age Sweetwater subprovince of the Wyoming Craton. These rocks represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent called the Wyoming Craton which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed. The Sweetwater subprovince has an east-west tectonic grain which is caused by a shear zone between the Sweetwater and Southern Accredited Terrane subprovinces along the southern edge of the Wyoming microcontinent.
From our walk last Sunday up to Easdon Tor. That granite stack is called Figgie Daniel (see previous upload: flic.kr/p/2jGrrxr ).
I went out after rain and found this unlikely garden thriving. The prolonged drought in the western U.S. has troubled the plants and wildlife. It's nice to see some surviiving

These granite hillocks look as if someone has patiently arranged them.The momuments in Hampi ,the ruined capital of the ancient Kingdom of Vijayanagar in the state of Karnataka and a World Heritage Site, are made from granite sourced from these hillocks.

Granite is great. It’s hard, weathers through countless winters of freezing and thawing. It does break down, eventually but slowly. Lines laying across the rocky surface tells us when the next break will occur. The individual shapes and sizes of the rocks are like fluffy clouds, they remind us of something, maybe a snake sneaking through the water, a seal sunning on the beach in the cold north. One looks like it would make a perfect seat. I could sit here watch the dragonflies fizz by, the minnows erratic meandering the the pools of water the myriad of colors in the trees that’s changing into fall.
