This is the view one sees when beginning their hikes over and around the the 2 primorial geo forms that are Smith Rock. There are 12 trails of varied terrain, depending on your objective, whether to get high, or follow the Crooked River. My favorite was the Misery Trail (not that bad). But walking along the river is impressive as well.
If interested more pics from here in my Smith Rock album.
Friday's here! Have a wonderful day and weekend.
The Valletta Waterfront, also known as Pinto Wharf or Pinto Stores, is a baroque wharf in Floriana, Malta. The buildings were originally stores and warehouses built in the 18th century.
This is at the beautiful beach in Bandon on the Oregon Coast. In the right light, the big chunks of rock are just gorgeous. It kind of looks like stone age paintings on the right.
I combined two pictures because I cut off the edge a little on the one I liked best.
The title refers to Blanca, of course!
One of my all-time favorites:

The RS1 was an Alco built Diesel produced between 1941 and 1953. This was one of the first ones purchased by the Rock Island Railroad and is on display at the Oklahoma Railroad Museum
When at Smith Rock most of the attention is paid to the 2 monoliths, where some climb the cliff or hike over on the Misery Trail. But there is also rugged beauty hiking along the escarpment along the Crooked River viewed here.
Excellent walks for any skill level.

May your Thursday be an easy walk.
Apparently this amazing rock formation is not a human-made monument – it’s a monument of Mother Nature. Vermillion Cliffs (Arisona, U.S.A.) at Navajo Bridge.
A popular outdoor wedding venue in Custer State Park, South Dakota.
I added the vignetting to draw attention to the center rocks.
If you want to climb the top-rock in the Coyote Buttes North, there are two routes. The fastest, but not necessarily the easiest route steeply uphill behind the Second Wave. There is no mark, you have to find your way.
The picture was taken during the ascent in the morning in indirect light.

Rock Pipit - Anthus petrosus
Double click to view
The Eurasian rock pipit is closely related to the water pipit and the meadow pipit, and is rather similar in appearance. Compared to the meadow pipit, the Eurasian rock pipit is darker, larger and longer-winged than its relative, and has dark, rather than pinkish-red, legs. The water pipit in winter plumage is also confusable with the Eurasian rock pipit, but has a strong supercilium and greyer upperparts; it is also typically much warier. The Eurasian rock pipit's dusky, rather than white, outer tail feathers are also a distinction from all its relatives. The habitats used by Eurasian rock and water pipits are completely separate in the breeding season, and there is little overlap even when birds are not nesting.
The Eurasian rock pipit is almost entirely coastal, frequenting rocky areas typically below 100 metres (330 ft), although on St Kilda it breeds at up to 400 metres (1,300 ft).[15] The Eurasian rock pipit is not troubled by wind or rain, although it avoids very exposed situations. It may occur further inland in winter or on migration.[3]
The breeding range is temperate and Arctic Europe on western and Baltic Sea coasts, with a very small number sometimes nesting in Iceland. The nominate race is largely resident, with only limited movement. A. p. kleinschmidti, which nests on the Faroe Islands and the Scottish islands, may move to sandy beaches or inland to rivers and lakes in winter. A. p. littoralis is largely migratory, wintering on coasts from southern Scandinavia to southwest Europe, with a few reaching Morocco. Wanderers have reached Spitsbergen and the Canary Islands, but records in Europe away from the coast are rare.
The Eurasian rock pipit is a much more approachable bird than the water pipit. If startled, it flies a fairly short distance, close to the ground, before it alights, whereas its relative is warier and flies some distance before landing again. Eurasian rock pipits are usually solitary, only occasionally forming small flocks.
Estimates of the breeding population of the Eurasian rock pipit vary, but may be as high as 408,000 pairs, of which around 300,000 pairs are in Norway. Despite slight declines in the British population and some range expansion in Finland, the population is considered overall to be large and stable, and for this reason it is evaluated as a species of least concern by the IUCN.
This rock is such a unique shape. It encounters quite a bit of rough surf on the east coast of Barbados.
Good afternoon dear people,
This morning I had the pleasure of doing a small photo workshop as part of my work. In addition to the consulting work with the families, I enjoy working with young people in the field of experiential education. Whether kayak paddling, sawing, hammering, screwing or photographing. That often creates a good relationship and actually it has always been that way, I just like to teach something to others. Two really nice photos were taken by the girl and by the way I even came to take a photo. How nice is that ?!
Yes, the weather. It changed constantly at the moment. It has become quite cool. The sun had all the trouble to get out of this morning. Good for us, because we were able to photograph the sun rays that broke through the cloud cover. However, they disappeared very quickly. But the lake is just beautiful and somehow there is always a successful composition, if you take some time to love what you see, to see what you love... Whatever!
But little rocks are really adorable. For me...!
I wish you a great weekend.

Sometimes you;re on a beach looking for the picture that shows how big these rocks are,
And there they where ,I didn't think just shoot......and this is the shot!...And I still love this picture....
from a small boat on the Kafue River in Kafue NP, Zambia
the Rock Pratincole is a rare and small African wader that migrates to areas where the rocks in large rivers are exposed when the water level is low. The water level in the Kafue River was very low during my stay in Kafue NP early November.
Their short and broad bill is very suitable to catch different types of insects in flight, typically in the morning and late afternoon.
Although the numbers are decreasing in the last decades it is not yet considered endangered.

How can you not be inspired by what has been named Cathedral Rock ... quite glorious to see in the early morning light as the sun comes up.
Sedona is quite spiritual that is for sure.
I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

because sometimes you just need a rock on a beach.
Does anyone else like to sit in a rock with the tide coming in and pretend they are on a desert island? No balls named Wilson necessary. It can be quite zen, until the hard rock lets your butt know it’s there!
Fun fact: next time you are looking out your window remember that common sand is the main ingredient. You are literally looking through a beach ️
