Bledne Skaly (Dwaalrotsen)

 

De Tafelbergen zijn de enige bergen in Polen met een geologische bouw van platen. Indrukwekkend zijn rotsblokken waartussen ingewikkelde labyrinthen zijn ontstaan. Sommige rotsschuren zijn 12 meter diep. Zandstenen rotsen nemen fantastische vormen aan. Het meest interessant zijn de rotsformaties Dwaalrotsen en de Szczeliniec Wielki, de hoogste top van de Tafelbergen (919 m boven de zeespiegel). Een trap van 665 in de rots gehouwde treden leidt naar de top. Langs de rotsgangen zijn gemarkeerde toeristische routes aangelegd.

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...

Agüero, Huesca, Spain

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.

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...

This will be our final photograph from Bicheno. The sun was moving in and out of cloud cover for most of the afternoon, but here the brilliant sunshine illuminates Alligator Rock which has an active fur seal colony. The Australian fur seal is the fourth rarest seal species in the world.

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).
