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.

Capela do Senhor da Pedra (The Chapel of the Lord of Stone), standing on the top of a small hill of stones, surrounded with waves crashing on the rocks.
Loch Katrine, Trossachs.
This was taken from more or less the same location as the preceding shot. As much as anything, I was intrigued by the form and texture of the metamorphic rocks, trying to imagine the monumental forces which were applied to them in the metamorphosing process; the nearest rock, for example, looks more like a croissant than a rock!
When the former Isar weir in Ismaning was demolished (converted to artificial river rapids), many rocks were left for a more "natural" appearance.

The hill as seen over the River Cannich, Scottish Highlands.
A fair bit of cloud movement here so opted for a long exposure.
A long exposure, landscape image of the incoming tide at Cullen Bay in Morayshire, Scotland, at sunrise.
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.
When I'm on my path of life I always move on
Looking ahead upon what's in front of me
I have always said
Bring it on
I can take it all
I'll deal with it
After all I'm a Viking Queen by heart
If I look back its only because I need to harvest from the experiences I have made
If I don't understand what I have been through and sort that out
Well, then I would have to deal with the same shit over and over again
Untill I see the pattern
And end my behavior that kind of seeks the experiences
In my mind the experiences I have made are like rocks fallen down from the mountain's side
Looking like this image
There are all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors
And with gems hidden in between
There are always gems
That's the signs where I solved the puzzle
I'm of course the mountain
My very own Mount Everest
Standing tall
Standing strong
Following my intuition
Following my light
Moving forward
I don't need to say
Bring it on anymore
I'm allowed to rest now
Enjoy
Love
My precious life
a fisherman's cove on Mljet Island, Croatia; a couple of tourists had just gone swimming commando style (left their clothes on the rocks to the left) :-)))
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.
All need is some sand, sea, surf & barnacle-clad rocks to keep me happy. A camera helps too :)
Happy weekend everyone!
Dunlins (Calidris alpina, Scolopacidae) hunting along the rocks of the breakwater at Terrell's Island Preserve, Lake Butte des Morts,
Omro/Winneconne, Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
The dunlin has been known as the red-backed sandpiper, the name given for the breeding bird's deeply colored backs. The name "dunlin" derives from "dun," meaning "dull brown" to describe the subdued colors of non breeding birds.
Although an abundant species of least concern dunlins are currently in sharp decline.

There are barriers between the beach and the sea at Eersterivierstrand. These are composed of upended layers of rock. The composition of the further one in this picture gives rise to strange shapes when it is eroded. It is very sharp to walk on and it was only when I clambered over a less eroded piece of rock that I discovered bits of coral hiding in the sandstone. I think the rock formation may well be in part an upended coral reef in sandstone.
The cascades in Windsor Great Park near Virginia Water is set off beautifully this time of year (late May) by the rhododendrons in full bloom.
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...
Thirty second long exposure shot of the waste water pipe on Crosby Beach. The concrete structures are designed to protect the pipe which runs beneath.

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.
Classically rugged and peaty character, softening it out, while maintaining smoky and sweet notes, with a lingering finish.
