OK, I know, there's a blurry waterfall, but the rocks! Wonderful colours as various minerals leach through the limestone. Thornton Force, Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Agreed on all counts.  (Especially since I'm apparently one of the few who generally doesn't like blurry waterfalls.)  :)

A great idea for a thread!

My first one is of the probably one of the most beautiful pieces of rock that I've seen and had the pleasure of climbing on. It is called the Rainbow Slab and is in the Dinorwic slate quarries overlooking Llanberis in North Wales. Its a popular (hard!) climbing area and I included some climbers for scale

And the second one is the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland

North end of Isla Coronado
The island is part of the Loreto Bay National Marine Park off the coast of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
It is easily reached by boat in 30 minutes from the marina in Loreto.
The island has one of the region's most beautiful, pristine beaches.

Love the second one. On my bucket list of places to visit.
