Last light of the day on the distinctive "Old Man's Hat" hanging rock formation on Quarantine Head.
One of my favourite local places - almost always deserted, spectacular cliffs and views across the harbour, and so much tangible history visible as well.
I was taking a picture of this neat old building when this friendly fella stepped in to improve the shot.

Inspired by a Fable of Aesop: "The old man, the boy and the donkey". This fable was told by parents and masters, sung by poets and troubadours; it was the subject of painters and engravers.

Old Faithful, located in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park, what a sight to see and capture.
Located at an elevation of 2,240m, the Old Faithful Geyser is one of the most well-known geysers in the world as well as in North America. The spectacular fountain-like columns of steam and boiling waters ejected from the Old Faithful Geyser vary in height from 32 to 56m, with the average height being 44m.
Found this nice little old building in Benson, NC. Not sure just what it had been used for, but I'm thinking very possibly a church.
This old church sits abandoned and decaying which is sad to see as it looks like it would have been quite beautiful back in the day. This is the side view, the front facade is overgrown with vines and barely visible. However that gives me a good reason to go back in the winter for another visit when the vegetation has died back.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Dogwood 52 week challenge. WEEK 8. Landscape: Wide Angle/PanoramaThis is a great opportunity to explore panorama stitching and create a wide sweeping landscape.
Amazingly, as I shaped to take this photograph of a frenetically busy entrance to a crammed Old Delhi road, a motorcyclist (front left) sped headlong into the melee. I am still surprised and relieved no-one was hurt.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesse
