The sun managed to break through the cloudy sky to give some rich color to enhance the Needles and Haystack rock stacks near Cannon Beach, Oregon.
We are going to see The Lesko Stone :)
The Lesko Stone is a distinctive rock formation in the forest near the city of Lesko in the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland. It is most likely a result of glacial movements in the area and the whole formation is believed to have been carried to the present site by a glacier. The stone is over 20 m tall and is entirely a work of erosion. Its peculiar shape was further pronounced as the area was a small rock quarry in past centuries. Despite being an environmentally protected site it is often scaled by climbers and outdoor enthusiasts. It can be reached by following a lengthy tourist trail from Lesko or from a road roughly 91 m away. The stone is an important aspect of local culture with a number of legends related to its shape and origin. The most popular of those is related to the 16th century church in Lesko which claims the stone is a remnant of a failed attempt by the devil to destroy Christianity in the area. A variation of this story links the stone to a number of monasteries in the area. Many more legends exist and some of them are told on plaques currently fixed to the stone.

Idziemy oglądać Kamień Leski :)
Kamień Leski (ok. 410–420 m) – charakterystyczna formacja skalna na wzgórzu we wsi Glinne niedaleko miasta Lesko w Bieszczadach. Kamień Leski jest wychodnią gruboziarnistego piaskowca krośnieńskiego, twardego i odpornego na wietrzenie. Główna skała wznosi się około 20 m ponad kulminację wzgórza. Posiada nieco dziwny kształt będący wynikiem zarówno erozji, jak i działalności człowieka. Od północnej strony znajdował się dawniej kamieniołom, po którym pozostała głęboka niecka wyrobiska oraz wysoka skalna ściana. Na szczycie skały znajduje się żelazny krzyż postawiony w 1978. Kamień jest ważnym elementem miejscowej kultury, powstało wiele legend związanych z jego kształtem i pochodzeniem. Najbardziej znana z nich jest związana z szesnastowiecznym kościołem w Lesku, według owej legendy kamień jest wynikiem nieudanej próby zniszczenia chrześcijaństwa w tym obszarze przez diabła. Niektóre z legend znajdują się na tablicach umocowanych na kamieniu.
The Kayaderosseras Creek flows past the old Empire Mill,one of the very first paper bag mills in the country. Now obsolete, it stills stands as a visual reminder of our past. Rock City Falls, New York. Pentax Gear with a Kood 8 stop ND filter.
Also known as Don Whillans Memorial Hut.
We almost missed this unusual building on our walk. The Cottage is private so you can't get to close.
I've spent the past hour reading up on the history and the most interesting "possible fact" was an old crone lived in the cave(which now has a door) until she was nearly 100 back in the late 1800's!

This unique feature is located near Castle Rock in the Porongurup Range in Western Australia. The walk to Castle Rock is 2.2km, ascending all the time. So coming to the Balancing Rock is a great excuse to stop, take a few phots and rest up before continuing.

Jenny said when she was just five years old
You know there's nothing happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing goin' down at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll

Hollow Rock is a favorite subject of photographers. It has interest in all seasons. You can't tell from this angle, but that center section is actually open to the other side of the rock. It is located off the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Portage, Minnesota.
Cathedral Rock is a natural sandstone butte on the Sedona skyline and one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. After a weekend drive around Northern Arizona, Sedona was my last stop before heading home to San Diego. While I'm happy that I finally got a decent reflection photo of Cathedral Rock, it certainly wasn't the easiest reflection photo that I have ever taken. Steady winds over 10 mph made this an exercise in patience, desire and persistence. DSC_5650A

I was over at a local park on the bay, looking for birds. Well that didn't work out, but in the early morning calm waters this rock caught my attention.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)
Our last sunrise in the desert, from the top of a long smooth rock ridge. This place really looked straight out of Dune. The sand and rock were less colorful in that part of the desert, the cliffs and mountains taller and the valleys and canyons narrower. This is the best place in Wadi Rum to hike over a couple of days in my opinion, and it's the spot where I'd like to go back the most in the area.
