The view west from High Ledges Wildlife sanctuary near Shelburne Falls. It was my first visit here. The trail is absolutely delightful. Only the location is somewhat far - 2 hours out on Route 2 from Boston.
The view here is towards the Berkshires, notably Mt. Greylock in the back.
Best viewed "zoomed in".
When we stayed in Snoqualmie we hiked to the gloriously named Rattlesnake Ledge. Sadly we didn't see any rattlesnakes but the view definitely compensated
A swimming pool was blasted into the rock for the use of local preparatory schools, particularly Durnford School sometime near the beginning of the twentieth century. The last surviving school (The Old Malthouse in Langton Matravers, which closed in 2007) and one of the schools for which the pool was originally created recently[when?] arranged for debris, including several large rocks, to be removed, making swimming possible once again. The sea itself is not suitable for swimming, as there is no shoreline, simply a rock shelf under which people have been pulled by the current to their deaths.
I have camped in this spot in the northwestern corner of Montana, about 15 miles south of the Canadian border, on a couple of occasions now. Among my favorites, it is in the Kootenai National Forest.
The forest is home to a variety of large wildlife,including Grizzly (brown) bears. On my previous trip here, I met a local family who were also camping in the forest. They told me about their encounter with a Grizzly and her cubs as they were walking on the forest service road that lead to my campsite.
The pathway in this photo leads from the campsite along a cliff that overlooks the forest canopy below. and provides a vista of the surrounding mountains A stream courses along the base of the cliff, which you can hear up here. Unfortunately, wildfires frequently obscure the views (visible to the left in this photo). Fortunately, however, the smoke does not seem to climb up the cliff to the ledge where I was camped. Nevertheless, I have left earlier than I intended on each trip because of it.

After getting shut out at Glacier Point for a number of years, I was finally rewarded with some great light on my last visit. I started shooting as soon as the first bit of color stole across the sky and eventually the entire Western end of the valley was lit up. The irony here was that I was hoping there would be few to no clouds on this particular trip as I was there to shoot the Milky Way, along with quite a few other photographers. As I set up my tripod, I overheard a park ranger giving a lecture behind me on where the Milky Way WOULD be if you could, in fact, see it. I was starting to feel pretty depressed at this point as I had made multiple trips to Glacier point without much to show for it. Two summers ago I was smoked out by a huge fire, last year too many clouds for the Milky Way, and multiple trips in between with no sunset or sunrise. As I stared sulkingly off into the horizon, I noticed a faint bit of color in the clouds. Within just a few minutes the entire sky had lit up and the poor ranger was left with only a handful of people as the crowd moved en masse to the railing and began shooting like mad.
The Milky Way was a no show that night, but at least I walked away with my first decent sunset at Glaicer Point in four years. I'll be headed back to try the Milky Way at least one more time this year, so fingers crossed!

We've had a poetry theme in this series. We started with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, "The Lighthouse", and followed this up with the work of Australian poet Gwen Harwood (who would have been 100 this year).
It's fitting we draw this series to a close with two more quotes from Longfellow:
"The rocky ledge runs far into the sea,
And on its outer point, some miles away,
The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day."
Emerald Pools Trail, Zion National Park, Utah.
The colorful stains on this red sandstone ledge are the result of seeping water. Such staining is evident in many places in Zion National Park.
Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments!
Late afternoon sun on the beautiful Dorset coast. Dancing Ledge is a former quarry, one of many in this area as the local stone is much prized for it’s quality.

'The Ledge' by Mark Jenkins consists of two life-sized figures on the side of a building in Rümelinsplatz, developed in conjunction with Basel urban art initiative, Artstübli.
Ezekiel 43:14 “The distance from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is 3½ feet, and the width of the ledge is 21 inches. There are seven feet from the small ledge to the large ledge, whose width is also 21 inches.”

Cathedral Ledge, North Conway New Hampshire.
[From the archives 2022]
Cathedral Ledge is a prominent natural landmark located in North Conway, New Hampshire, known for its scenic views and rock climbing opportunities. It's part of Echo Lake State Park, offering a one-mile auto road to the summit and hiking trails, including one accessible trail to a valley view. The ledge is also popular for rock climbing, with granite walls reaching 500 feet in height.
From Cathedral Ledge you can see the Saco River Valley and the White Mountains, including Mount Washington, and Kearsarge North. The Moat Mountains are also visible from the summit.

One from a while back I have had a few goes at processing this image and finally I'm happy with it.
Kimmeridge Bay on the Jurassic Coast.
Long exposure shot of Mupe Bay in Dorset, and is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
The bay exposes a sequence of Cretaceous rocks from the Bindon Hill Chalk in the north through the Wealden Beds to the Purbeck Beds in the south at Mupe Rocks.nnIt is only accessible when the Lulworth artillery and armoured vehicle ranges are open to the public.
To the south are Mupe Ledges (pictured here) and out to sea Mupe Rocks.
An outcrop of Dolomite in Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset that on the right tide looks amazing as the tide rises I was lucky this day as there was only a few of us in the bay and no one stayed long in front of me in the shot, with a rising tide and a long exposure with a 10 stopper I took pictures till the rising tide drove me away.
In my opinion, Kendall Ledges in the Cuyahoga Valley National park is the highlight of the park. These limestone cliffs dominate the park and hemlock trees readily grow in this environment.
The Corran Ledge marker buoy off Dunollie, Oban.
Approach to Oban Bay from the North:
Including from the Caledonian Canal, Mull, Hebrides, Minch
On entering the channel, you are advised to pass west of Maiden Island unless you are familiar with the area. Keep to the starboard side as much as possible and remain west of the Corran Ledge west cardinal buoy.

A ledge llittered with fractured rocks above the shorline of an alpine Sierra Nevada lake.
This little conjunction of rock and water has fascinated me since I first saw it. The lake is in the eastern Sierra Nevada backcountry, above another lake where a group of us went to photograph for a week a couple of years ago. I have a long acquaintance with this upper lake, having first visited it perhaps a couple of decades ago. It is fascinating how my perception of the place changed over time. From that long-ago first visit I only remember that there wasn’t much in the way of obvious campsites here. On later visits I took in more of the alpine surrounds of this lake, which is set in a high bowl. Over several days of repeated visits on the more recent trip I became very familiar with the rocky terrain around the outlet of the lake.
While I’m not completely averse to photographing icons, I spend most of my photographic time in places like this looking for things that I would overlook without careful attention. Seen this way, there are photographic opportunities almost everywhere I look. In fact, I “saw” this little scene it at least four (and counting!) different ways, several of which attentive viewers may recall.

Back to the coast, I had planned
on going to Corfe castle this morning as the weather forecast predicted a strong chance of mist but as I got closer to my destination I could see no mist. Plan B was to go to a place I had been to once during the summer in the middle of the day. Climbing down on to Dancing Ledge while it was still dark was going to be a bit of a challenge.

I am a huge fan of Urbex photography but do not have the knowledge or means to go about it. Instead, I ask friends and neighbours if I can take photos inside their old sheds/garages/barns/outbuildings. I guess that this is a more middle-class form of Urbex that would more appropriately be called SuburbEx :o)
