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.

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!

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.

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.
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.
