not "HDR" style. but my special style ;D
by the way, M. Al Suwaidi is my sign so don't mixed up
The Parallel Roads represent the shorelines of ice-dammed lakes. Typically they are narrow benches (several metres wide) cut into the bedrock of the hillsides and in places covered by remnants of lake beach gravel. They extend along much of Glen Roy and Glen Gloy and parts of Glen Spean. Probably they formed through a combination of intense frost weathering and wave action along the lake shore zone. The control of lake levels by the different cols allowed the lakes to persist for sufficiently long periods such that even the hard, Precambrian bedrock was broken up and eroded.
An ice field developed to the west of Glen Roy and the Great Glen, with a further ice centre to the south, over Rannoch Moor. Glaciers flowed eastwards along the glens from the ice field in the Western Highlands. One tongue of ice blocked the entrance to Glen Gloy, while another extended eastwards to block lower Glen Roy. Here it met a glacier that had extended into the middle section of Glen Spean. The blocking of Glen Spean led to a lake being impounded. As the glacier advanced up lower Glen Roy, it cut off a lake in this valley and the rising water eventually found its way across a pass.
A further advance of the glacier up Glen Roy resulted in the blocking of this exit for the water, and the lake rose further, to drain across the low ground at the head of the Roy and Spey glens. A lake at a higher level impounded in Glen Gloy drained through the head of this glen across a pass into Glen Roy. As the ice retreated, the overflows were unblocked in the reverse order; finally the ice dam broke near Spean Bridge and the lake drained away under the glacier very suddenly and rapidly towards the Great Glen

These rock fins I found two days after the previous photo, in a place four miles away. They are in a remote area of the Paria Plateau not likely visited by anyone. I have also found similar intact flakes eight miles away in another direction, and on West Clark Bench 8 miles in the opposite direction. The process that produced these covered a large area, even out to Valley of Fire, Nevada, 150 miles to the west.
Layers of Navajo sandstone, initially laid down horizontally, with alternating bands of hardness, were tilted up at an angle, causing them to erode in fantastic ways like this. The rock fins can stick out of the ground several feet in places (see previous photo).
Delicate and easily breakable, these fins would not last long if a busload of children came out here to play. Fortunately, the bad roads and hiking distances make heavy visitation unlikely. Some of the flakes may have been broken by cattle. If you ever explore out here, stay away and don't disturb them. Leave them for others to wonder at. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see these in their intact state.
On my YouTube channel, you can watch my "New Discoveries on the Paria Plateau" where I found these. Three episodes have been posted so far, and another is coming later this month.
Wonderful park near our B&B in Dublin, Ireland. Europeans long ago discovered one of the secrets to the good life: artfully created parks.
Texture thanks to rubyblossom.
Many thanks for your comments/awards.

« Un texte [ou la surface d'un rocher] peut être non seulement analysé, mais “disloqué” par un lecteur. Derrida appelle “déconstruction” cette lecture qui cherche, qui isole des éléments, des fragments, des réalités sous-jacentes, inscrits dans un texte
par-dessous des apparences. Un texte [ou la surface d’un rocher] possède un sens principal et des courants sous-jacents. Un texte contient un “texte latent” préexistant. »

« L'artiste doit cultiver l'art de ne pas tout montrer, afin de maintenir vivant le souffle et intact le mystère. »

“A text [or the surface of a rock] can be not only analyzed, but ‘dislocated’ by a reader. Derrida calls ‘deconstruction’ this reading that seeks out, isolates elements, fragments, underlying realities, inscribed in a text from beneath appearances. A text [or the surface of a rock] has a main meaning and underlying currents. A text contains a pre-existing ‘latent text’.”

Taken on the A166 between Stamford Bridge and Garrowby Hill. I drive past this field every day on the way to work, and I've said for ages that I need to stop and get a shot in.
Hubble's recent 28th anniversary observations also included some parallel observations which were not part of the photo release. I'm totally here for that.
In this image, reddish, orange light represents mostly gaseous emission of energized hydrogen atoms, and muted, blueish gray areas are largely reflected starlight. This combination of light results in an image quality I am very fond of, but I must confess it took me a very long time to understand it beyond oooh, pretty. Once one understands that parts of the clouds are emitting light, while other parts are simply reflecting light, the shapes and coloration begin to make more sense. They are not very different in some ways from water clouds seen on Earth, but our water clouds are most frequently seen reflecting the Sun's light, and not ever emitting their own light.
Interestingly, there are only two filters available to work with for the parallel observations. I wrongly guessed that the same filters used in the primary observations would end up being used in parallel. I don't know why.
The proposal for these data is here:
Optical and infrared imaging of the Lagoon Nebula (M8)

Cyan: ACS/WFC F550M
North is merely 1.05° counter-clockwise from up.
To commemorate the 70th Birthday of both R766 and 5917, The Picnic Train organised a special parallel run between Waratah and Maitland. This post shows the parallel run flying past Pitnacree Road.
