This is a stone located in the gorge area north of the 'A' frame bridge spanning the gorge. I was trying to capture the glitter of the hundreds of quartzite crystals embedded in the stone. This is commonly found throughout the park, and especially so in the gorge walls. I have another image in this set that has a closeup of this feature.
This is part of a set taken on 10.May.2008 at Hocking Hills State Park.
From the bealach, head south up the quartzite scree slopes to reach a better defined section of ridge higher up. The ridge curves round to the left to reach the summit of Conival at a junction of three ridges. At 988 metres this is the first of the day's two Munros. The cairn takes the form of a wind-shelter and has grand views along Loch Assynt. The east ridge leads the eye across masses of scree slopes to Ben More Assynt.

Massive Rawnsley Quartzite outlines the strucutre of this geological feature. Its basin shape is the remnant of a downfold (syncline) preserved by the resistant quartzite which forms jagged peaks along its edge.
Taken between 6:30 - 7:45 am at Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD.
I wasn't planning to do a shoot while visiting, so didn't have anything but my phone. It was such a beautiful morning, I couldn't resist.
Usurped by Ay and Horemheb
Large traces of paint that remain on the statue hint at its original vivid colours
Quartzite
This dramatic statue is one of a pair that probably stood at Tutankhamun's mortuary temple. Originally Tutankhamun's name was carved on the belt but his successor, Ay, inscribed his name over Tutankhamun's. Soon after, Ay's name was replaced by that of his successor Horemheb.
Having done a Geology A-level I really should be able to identify this, but alas I am not too sure what it is.
God it was thirsty work walking along here with the sun pounding mercilessly down and the rock seeming to suck all the moisture out of the air. Hard work, but with views like this it would be churlish to complain
