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.
These are rock piers that are jutting out to Botany Bay. Near sunset saw the light bouncing off these green rocks. The water ripples and reflection also had nice tones. Overall a nice effect. PB250029 ac

Thank you Philippe for the wonderful texture pack that I've found in your webpage.

Another from last week, this time a tad further back to get the rocks in the foreground with some nice light
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.
Breezy but peaceful hour or so spent this evening on some favourite rocks at St. Mary's Island, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear.
Warmest thanks for your kind visit 🙏💚

After our visit to Emsworthy Barn on Sunday evening, we walked up the hill to Emsworthy Rocks for sunset. These rocks and tree have been photographed countless times, and often get confused for either Saddle Tor or Holwell Tor, in fact, they are between the two.
There was a lot of high cloud above us at sunset but unfortunately a huge bank of misty cloud further to the west snuffed out any chance of a nice pink sky. We ended up with a pretty dull grey sunset, but a little while after there was a hint of pink showing further to the South.
I've gone for a classic composition to include the colour in the sky, I originally had a different view lined up but didn't like how the sky looked.
Least Sandpiper-DSC_7045 - A Least Sandpiper (I believe) walks on the rocky shores of Ile aux Perroquets in the Mingan Archipelago in Quebec.
Whilst waiting for the golden hour to turn to the blue hour, I spent some time photographing the small waves crashing into the rocks. I only realised when editing the photos what amazing colours the seaweed and rocks had.
Just amazing light, wet conditions and a rainbow there in this area of the Dolly Sods in West Virginia. Worth getting wet in that rain that fell for about 10 minutes. Keeping the lens dry so the images were not impacted and not slipping on the rocks in that wet condition as I scrambled about was the real challenge.

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
Unterwegs in der Vulkaneifel. Die Etappe 9 führt vorbei an dieser Felsenlandschaft zwischen Hillesheim und Gerolstein.
Zum Eifelsteig:
Early spring on the Minnesota River near Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
It's almost a hundred miles from home, but this is one of my most favorite places! This is a sub-channel of the Minnesota River - possibly even a man-made channel. If you look on the map, it takes a shortcut between two bends in the main channel. There is evidence that there was once a mill of some sort on the other side of the bridge from here.
The rocks in this area are some of the oldest exposed rocks in the world, estimated to be some 3.6 billion years old. They were gouged out over the millennia by the Minnesota River's "grandpa", Glacial River Warren.
On the other side of the bridge that I am standing on to take this shot, you can walk up on a rocky bluff and see cactus (yes cactus growing in Minnesota - click HERE to see it!)
Just north of here is the Minnesota Valley Scenic Byway which is one of the prettiest drives you could ever hope to take. This photo was shot near the section between Morton and Granite Falls. It's a dirt road (in good shape, though) so the vehicle will get a little dusty, but if you're ever in the area, it's well worth it!
Along the way you'll see beautiful panoramas of the river valley, wetlands, farmland, woodlands, lots of ancient bedrock, and several historic sites that were key places in the U.S./Dakota war of 1862 (formerly known as the Sioux Uprising). It's a trip worth taking!
