Well I finally completed the sale of my store and have moved into my house. Now I can get down to doing what I love - photography :) I missed everyone and am so happy to be back :)

For the last 800 years, lime has been mined here.
But 63 million years ago, it was a giant coral reef at the bottom of an ocean.
If you bring a hammer and chisel, you can find shells, shark teeth, sea crocodile teeth and more.
It was "only" 3 million years after the great meteor strike that killed the dinosaurs, but life on earth flourished again. There is a geomuseum on site that tells about nature at that time.

Looking like a pile of dog turd - these log looking structures were once trees that are petrified - turned to rock.

Bit of a dark and moody one for a change. I was drawn to this petrified writhing shape as I peered into the mist. Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.
In keeping with my point in the previous photograph, can you spot the petrified shark in this picture? [I'll tag it for you in case you can't.] For all the world it looked like some prehistorical shark had been washed up into this little shaded cove and been turned to stone.
One thing we all can't miss however, is the light and shade working its magic on the sand and rocks.
Anyone remember the one where Popeye traveled to the island of the Goonies? Looks like a Goony nose to me...
Anyway, this one is of the moon setting over some large rock formations in Joshua National Park.
Have a nice day!
