I thought about posting images of rocky outcrops at Kluane National Park in the Yukon. I thought about posting images of lichen-covered rocks from different parts of the world. I thought (yes, naturally) about posting images from the periphery of rock music.
But then I remembered this simple series of images and I figured I would post these instead, to remind us of the power of Nature and how objects around us that we take for granted have been there (and will continue to be there) for millennia.
These rocks with eddying sea water foaming around them and emphasising their colour and shape are on Sydney's famous North Shore. We were there on a beautiful autumn day on the Easter weekend and as you can see from the shot below, of the same scene but composed horizontally, there was so much to admire.
Visit TNChick's Photo Hunt. Today's theme: "Rock(s)''.
that cliff must be sight on a stormy day...
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice!! Although I must admit it takes me aback somewhat to hear you talk about a lovely AUTUMN Easter Day!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pic!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding picture David!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures, David and could easily have been taken around the coast of Britain!
ReplyDeleteDavid these are wonderful!! I see a seahorse in the first one - lol!! You asked - kinda. Sarah
ReplyDeleteSort of puts one in mind of the shoreline of Goa doesn't it? Not that I've been to either place, but that's what it reminded me of.
ReplyDeleteWith every passing year I become more convinced that it's simply not possible to take a bad photograph of the ocean unless you really try.
Love both of these. And if memory serves, my Photo Hunt entry for this week is very similar in theme -- if not in composition. (You can find out in a couple of hours.)
The sea and its many splendors-ugh, many outcrops. This could be Oregon.
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots! How they remind me of so much....
ReplyDeleteScenes like this never fail to captivate me. I love the play of water against rock along a shoreline.
ReplyDeleteforces of nature can also be so serene as captured in your photos,great work!
ReplyDeleteSeems like every time I come here I add another place I want to visit to my list! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! I heard the Rocky music in my head and started to think that you would be propelling down or doing some other athletic maneuver! <3
ReplyDeleteI lose myself in the power of shots like these Sandy
ReplyDeleteYes, I sea! Beautiful! enJOY your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots David.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! And a little scary too. ;) It really does look so powerful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight to behold! Have a wonderful week-end.

ReplyDeletehappy PH
Wow, very beautiful :)
ReplyDeletethey look great in the sunlight with yachts sailing by on the way to Hobart.
ReplyDeletegreat reminder
Awesome place, but at first I thought it is Ireland. There is a very similar rock formation there, the name escapes me. Shot it quite some time ago in a dense fog, with expected results...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
That last shot looks like parts of the UK. Lovely shots. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThat cliff looks great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots...!!
ReplyDeleteDoes remind me of Goa.
I remember so many beautiful rocky areas round Sydney Harbour. But this is one of the highest points! Delightful photos!
ReplyDeleteStunning images that I hope to see one day! :D
