Rock Ptarmigan was a highlight species on our two journeys up and down the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories. This male was just starting to molt into its breeding plumage, so had mostly the white winter plumage and was keeping close to the few snowbanks still found close to the road. The feathered feet, an adaptation to cold temperatures, are visible in this image.
Just got home from Beaumaris in Anglesey Wales so late with my photo this week. We visited Penmon Lighthouse on a very sunny but cold afternoon, in the lead up to the lighthouse there were very many interesting rock pools so I thought this would be a good idea for a water element. I have cropped the photo down to fit in with the 3" limit.
Okay, on me second cup of raktajino. Just because I like this pic of a rock on the beach.
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
So it's back to the beach here in Sydney.
This is another image from my sunset trek to Shelly Beach.
Near Manly Beach. On the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
The view here looks across Cabbage Tree Bay to Manly Beach.
You park your car in the carpark up above Shelly Beach - at the end of Bower Street. Watch out for parking rangers, lol.
Then walk throught the sub-tropical rainforest along the Shelly Beach Walking Track, to emerge onto the rocky northern end of the headland.
And to accompany the 'rock star' theme here is, arguably, one of the greatest rock stars, Elton John, with 'Crocodile Rock':

The famous climbing Hut Black Rock Cottage is situated on the access road to the Glencoe mountain ski area. Black Rock Cottage is one of the most famous white painted buildings in the Scottish Highlands. Sitting proudly in front of the Buachaille Etive Mòr mountain in Glen Coe Black Rock Cottage will remain a firm favourite with photographers and hikers who pass on the west Highland way.
The world famous Rhapsody climb.
Rhapsody is a 35-metre (115 ft) long traditional climbing route up a thin crack on a slightly overhanging vertical basalt rock face on Dumbarton Rock, in Scotland. When Scottish climber Dave MacLeod made the first free ascent in 2006, it became Britain's first-ever E11-graded route, and at the grade of 5.14c (8c+), Rhapsody was the world's hardest traditional route. It set a grade milestone in traditional climbing that stood for over a decade until the ascent of Tribe at grade E11-12 5.14d (9a) in 2019 and of Bon Voyage at grade E12 5.14d (9a) in 2024.
Rhapsody shares the same central crack-line as another notable traditional climbing route called Requiem (the two routes deviate for the last 10 metres near the top as the crack-line peters out). Scottish climber Dave Cuthbertson made the first free ascent of Requiem in 1983, creating Britain's first-ever E8-graded route. With subsequent ascents, the consensus grade settled at E8 6b or 5.13b (8a), and Requiem is now recognized as being one of the world's hardest rock climbing routes—of any format (i.e. traditional or sport climbing)—at the time it was first ascended in 1983.

The top of this rock looks like it's going slide off into the water. Somewhere between Monterey and Carmel, California.

An interesting looking rock formation on Hayne Down, not far from iconic Bowerman's Nose. The top reminded me of a dog's head!
Autumn's bounty of vibrant berries, never more beautiful than the droplets of nature's water after the rain.
Rock Wallabies are a small marsupial native to Australia. They are smaller than a Kangaroo. This photo was taken at Featherdale Animal Park, Blacktown which is only around 20 minutes drive from our house. It is a wonderful place for visitors to Sydney to see Australian animals up close.
Split Rock Lighthouse, as seen from the shore of Lake Superior.
Lake County, Minnesota
Shipwrecks from a mighty 1905 November gale prompted this rugged landmark's construction. Completed by the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1910, Split Rock Light Station soon became one of Minnesota's best known landmarks. Restored to its 1920s appearance, the light station offers a glimpse of lighthouse life in this remote and spectacular setting. Split Rock Lighthouse is a National Historic Landmark.
