It's a petrified demon, Mike, so it qualifies as rock. Neat image!

Eric

P.S. What's it's Latin name?

Some more from Narooma on the NSW South Coast.

Hope you like the shark.

A very nice shark, indeed!

I started this post off with Remarkable Rocks but it was one image of a remarkable place. Here are four more.

The trees and clouds are catching up. These are from the Pinnacles in Western Australia.

Talk about a 'moonscape'! Nice rocks, though!

Mike.

Yes, Tom. Very spooky!

Actually the images are a good example of 'liquid cloning'. On my previous trip to the Pinnacles I had to clone out all of the footsteps around the rocks. On this occasion rain was bucketing down as I drove to the park and I wondered if I should even enter it. As I approached the park gates the rain stopped and there was blue sky and white clouds. The sandy soil had drained nearly all of the water and there was only a few puddles left. The most fortunate thing that occurred however was the rain had washed away all the footprints and saved me hours of cloning. Now that is liquid cloning for you.

Cheers,

I wonder how soon Adobe will introduce that in an upcoming version of Photoshop.

Much more earthly, sorry...
The attachment comes from a nice ramble this summer in the Ecrins range, near Grenoble. Far enough from the crowds to avoid the need for liquid cloning.
C&C welcome of course!

Not sure if this should be in Rocks or Clouds.

Or both! Now if you can get the rocks to hang in the clouds, that'll be something...

Here are some rocks, moon and a wave.

Here's one from Brinham Moor in Yorkshire. I spent a summer photographing rocks in the U.S Southwest only to find this specimen just a few miles from home.

There are far too many shots in this thread for me to possibly comment on but I wanted to say I really enjoy the textures you find in the rocks. What an exciting place! Nice shots!

Wilsons Promontory, Victoria Australia. The Tidal River is typical of many southern rivers in that it gets its tea colour from the tannin in the local trees. The first rock is called Whale Rock for some strange reason.

Maybe not the most remarkable of rocks, but it's not everyday I get to drive under one so beautiful!

Oprah is visiting Australia this week and yes she is looking at rocks! She has just visited Ularu which can look different to the tourist shots…

And yes, she has sent one of her groups off to Kangaroo Island the home of Remarkable Rocks which started this thread.

Cheers,

Wow Francois. That's the most unusual rock I've seen. Looks like a striking snake.

Excellent photo, Gary
