It was a stormy afternoon, at sunset I had only a chance with a tripode. From left to right the northern limestone Alpes with the big mountain range called Totes Gebirge, Dachstein, Traunstein, Gosaukamm and Höllengebirge - with an apple tree right in front of mount Traunstein.
While waiting for the sun to set, we hiked on top of this limestone cliff where I captured Finding Fayette: A Ghost Town in the UP Michigan from an overlook directly across from the townsite.
**********
"This limestone cliff consists of vertical or near-vertical exposures of bedrock.
Like all of Michigan’s lakeshore cliffs, vegetation cover is sparse but abundant cracks and crevices combined with calcareous conditions result in greater plant diversity and coverage than on most other cliff types. "

I hope you find this interesting, thank you for your visit!
This old limestone farmhouse has probably seen a lot of gray cold weather in its time.
I loved my color version but wanted to present in mono for now.
The limestone formed as sediments in a tropical sea which covered most of Ireland approximately 350 million years ago.

Eleven years ago today, this was the power for the Proctor Roadswitch as BLE 900, 906, and 909 brought limestone empties down to Duluth on March 28, 2011.
All three of these units still work out of Proctor with the 900 now in CN paint. The orange 906 and 909 were just paired up on the T-Birds this March '22, but I didn't make it up there this time before 909 broke down and they were broke up.
Reupload, since the previous photo mysteriously disappeared....
The limestone lake in Persberg, Sweden.
The white stuff is NOT snow and ice, it's lime :)))

I love limestone cliffs, and these at Stackpole Head in Pembrokeshire are stunning against the blue green sea. It was a day of clearing skies, so Chase the dark away by Jim White is OK
CN's empty limestone trains make for a spirited chase compared to the speed-restricted ore loads on the former DMIR in Minnesota near Kelsey.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

The location is Markyate Cell Estate (Hertfordshire). We are in the Chilterns, basically a limestone plateau. Limestone is porous and able to store huge amounts of water, often subterraneously. The River Ver runs through the middle of the image - after weeks of heavy rain, that is. But it has been dry for a while. And if there is any water, then it is not on the surface. Fuji X-Pro1.
Another shot of Ingleborough seen from the White Scar Plateau just before the cloud blew in on a strong South Westerly winter wind.
On the surviving stub of the Buxton to Ashbourne line, 60045 'The Permanent Way Institution' is a couple of miles into it’s short journey from Hindlow after taking a train of limestone from Buxton Lime Industries’ Tunstead Quarry to the kilns at Hindlow works.
Use of rail for what would be a 12 mile road journey is mandated to reduce lorry usage in the town of Buxton. Hindlow ceased quarrying in 1987 and since has been the site of two gas-powered kilns which are fed with limestone from nearby Tunstead.
A liberal scattering of limestone covers the front and top of the locomotive: the apparent exhaust fumes are actually a swirl of limestone dust.
BNSF 3181 works the limestone caverns that provide a constant temperature for storing various commodities. From what I understand there are over 3 miles of trackage underground at this location. Pretty neat operation.
The Cango Caves is one of South Africa's finest, best known, and most popular tourist caves and attracts many visitors from overseas. Although the extensive system of tunnels and chambers go on for over 4 km (2.5 mi), only about a quarter of this is open to visitors, who may proceed into the cave only in groups supervised by a guide.
Tours are conducted at regular intervals on most days—there is a "Standard Tour" which takes an hour and an "Adventure Tour" which takes an hour and a half. The "Adventure Tour" consists of crawling through narrow passages and climbing up steep rock formations guided by small lights. The caves contain halls and limestone formations (on both tours) as well as small passages on the Adventure Tour. The smallest passage that tourists will have to pass through on the Adventure Tour is just under 15 cm to exit.
Formazioni calcaree a Bagni San Filippo.
Ci troviamo in Toscana ed esattamente in Provincia di Siena alle pendici del monte Amiata. In questa piccola località si trovano, oltre al complesso termale tradizionale, delle magnifiche piscine naturali con cascatelle di acqua a 40°, il tutto immerso nel bosco. Al centro di questa piccola valle si erge la "balena bianca", un imponente struttura calcarea formatasi nel tempo con i sedimenti delle acque. Consiglio vivamente a tutti, se passate da queste parti, di fare una visita ed un salutare bagnetto.
