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.

Capitol Reef national park, Utah. Barriers to western migration were once called "reefs.". Geologists call this kind of barrier a dissected monocline.
I was very careful stepping on some rocks to get to this pristine section of the desert. The soil there is alive, and takes many years to get to this state ... so not stepping on it is quite important. I really liked this pristine view of the earth there leading into the wall of the Reef there in Utah.
This view was via one of the back dirt roads there in the park.

Another visit to this location with some ok conditions providding a hint of colour and some flow over the rock shelf.
Early morning view with some nice moonlight over the scene there in Capitol Reef National Park. The moonlight was so bright this was captured at ISO 800.
This point near Bell Buoy Beach in northern Tasmania marks the beginning of a rocky reef. As the name suggests it extends out to sea and along the coast for two miles. It is one of the reasons the Low Head Lighthouse was built to warn shipping.

Basaltic pebbles makeup most of the sediment on the beach at Malarrif, which means "pebble reef" in Icelandic. For centuries the farm at Malarrif was one of the most isolated farms in Iceland. It was the westernmost farm on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and the nearest settlement to it was the fishing village at Hellnar. The lighthouse here had an important role for Icelandic fishermen for decades as they fished in the rich fishing grounds by the shore. Icelanders fish these same grounds for centuries. The lighthouse was built in 1917 and rebuilt in 1947. The height of the lighthouse is 20 meters, and the light had a range of eighteen miles. The farm and lighthouse is now an important tourist center in Snæfellsjökull National Park.
Was lucky that this fellow flew in for a few minutes whilst at Long Reef. Not as sharp as one would like as it was just after sunrise.

Capitol Reef Sunrise: The color of the rocks at Utah's Capitol Reef National Park give a fantastic analogous color match with the rising sun, with the spots of green complimenting the magenta hues. I found this excellent sunrise view at Sunset Point, which is a perfect location for getting a grand view of this beautiful park.
