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!
Some of the Ten Peaks reflected in a calm Lake Moraine as the sun sets. Never fails to entrance and enchant me when I'm fortunate enough to stand here.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and the week ahead!
Justamente eso, otro punto de vista del fantástico entorno natural de las Calas de Roche, en la localidad gaditana de Conil de la Frontera.

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

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

Thank you all for your views, faves and/or comments! It’s greatly appreciated! Happy MM! :-)
The old Bombo Quarry is located near Kiama, NSW. The quarry which closed over 70 years ago has left some unusual basalt columns. They are amazing to see. It is a very popular spot with photographers.
The Sancti Petri lighthouse is located on the coast of Cádiz in southern Spain. This day was special because of the color that the clouds acquired just as the sun disappeared.
Stormy day. Rural Victoria. Australia.

Вид со склона горы Ильяс-Кая на скалы Тышлар.
Скалы Тышлар расположены в низине между северо-западным склоном горы Ильяс-Кая, и лесистым конусом горы Ласпи.
Тышлар - это скальный комплекс естественного происхождения, состоящий из семи скал разной высоты, образующих окружность в виде чаши с плоским камнем в середине, при взгляде на которые возникают ассоциации с английским Стоунхенджем.
Название скал «Тышлар» происходит от тюркского слова «зубы» (tiş - зуб).
Скалы Тышлар имеют множество других названий, самые известные из которых - Каменный или Солнечный цветок, Храм Солнца, или Крымский Стоунхендж.
