Mountains of Ergaki
The mountain range Ergaki is one of the most amazing corners of nature in the West Sayan Mountains. Exceptional in its beauty and greatness chisel-shaped granite peaks, full of rapids cold rivers, the deepest surrounded by virginal taiga and unapproachable rock walls lakes, polished by glaciers till high lustre trog valleys, magnificent waterfalls and rocky rivers of kurums - these are the things which attract tourists to this magic place of the Sayan Mountains.
Одно из красивейших и загадочных мест России.
Очень рекомендую посетить.

Sgwd ddwli Uchaf, The Upper Gushing Falls, on the River Neath, South Wales.
Taken during a dry summer with the river flow very low...the only time I could visit but no complaints...beautiful area!
When the former Isar weir in Ismaning was demolished (converted to artificial river rapids), many rocks were left for a more "natural" appearance.

At Punakaiki, New Zealand. See the previous photo for the explosion of water. I think this photo after the explosion with the water trails down the rocks is the better photo. The other photo is nice for the memories.
San Francisco’s Seal Rocks rise from the Pacific Ocean surf just off the shore of Lands End as the sun begins to set on the western edge of the city.

This image was captured early on a Monday morning on my to the North York moors. I managed to clamber over the precarious rocks at Flamborough before waiting for the sun to rise up over the horizon- perfect start to the day!
Rocks at sunset ... bathed by the sea, by the solitude and the wind, looking at the blue sky at the starry night, while time passes ...
Rocas a la atarceder...bañadas por el mar, por la soledad y el viento, mirando al cielo azul a la noche estrellada, mientras pasa el tiempo...
Just a wee picture I took this morning at the bottom of my garden. The Sun was shining and the tide was in so couldn't resist this capture. I think it is beautiful hopefully somebody else will too...
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.
Toma parcial en el Anfiteatro, es una formación natural donde la erosión del agua, en su momento y del viento conformaron la roca sedimentaria del lugar. Se encuentra en la Quebrada de las Conchas, al costado de la Ruta 68, a 48 kilómetros de Cafayate, Salta.
A close up view, about 12mm x 8mm, of the edge of a blue agate slice sitting on top of a slice of blue fluorite.
Agate is a rock consisting primarily of cryptocrystalline silica, chiefly chalcedony, alternating with microgranular quartz. It is characterized by its fineness of grain and variety of colour. Although agates may be found in various kinds of host rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks (Wiki).
Fluorite is a colourful mineral, both in visible and ultraviolet light, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses (Wiki).
