Pedra da Gávea is a monolithic mountain in Tijuca Forest, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Composed of granite and gneiss, its elevation is 844 metres (2,769 ft), making it one of the highest mountains in the world that ends directly in the ocean. Trails on the mountain were opened up by the local farming population in the early 1800s; today, the site is under the administration of the Tijuca National Park.
The mountain's name translates as Rock of the Topsail, and was given to it during the expedition of Captain Gaspar de Lemos, begun in 1501, and in which the Rio de Janeiro bay (today Guanabara Bay, but after which the city was named) also received its name. The mountain, one of the first in Brazil to be named in Portuguese, was named by the expedition's sailors, who compared its silhouette to that of the shape of a topsail of a carrack upon sighting it on January 1, 1502. That name in turn came to be given to the Gávea area of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Differential weathering on one side of the rock has created what is described as a stylized human face. Markings on another face of the rock have been described as an inscription. Geologists and scientists are nearly in agreement that the "inscription" is the result of erosion and that the "face" is a product of pareidolia. Furthermore, the consensus of archaeologists and scholars in Brazil is that the mountain should not be viewed as an archaeological site.

We pass through forests of symbols
Will we recognize them on the finishing day?
Another from the spectacular evening up on Holmepark Fell. I was taken by the way the fiery clouds to the right of this windswept tree sort of complimented it's shape. The textures of the weathered Limestone Pavement on this high exposed plateau also added to nature's rich palette. The colours were spectacular after the sun set, giving the whole scene an ethereal feel.
The sun had set around 20 minutes before over Morecambe Bay with the Fylde Coast and Welsh Mountains in the far distance beyond Heysham Nuclear Power Station. You can also see the car headlights on the M6 in the middle distance near the Carnforth exit and the Bowland Fells lie to the left of the Tree..
I got some lovely images whilst up here again and I also knew my friend John Bleakley was getting the same colours and sky whilst down by the coast in Morecambe. I look forward to seeing the same sky on his shots!!
