CORANG ARCH

This photo required a number of things to go right to get the sun flare below the arch.

It started with a 12km hike through some pretty overgrown trails. The next issue was the sun is only in the right position at sunset for about a month each year.

There is such a small gap between the bottom of the arch and the top of the hill opposite, so there was only a couple of minutes of the light like this.

Finally, the weather needed to be perfect with no cloud blocking the sun.

At Pancake Rocks on the West Coast. The original Māori name for the area is Punakairi or Punangari depending on dialect, however when it was transcribed by a European the cursive writing of the R was mistaken for a K, leading the common name to be incorrect after published in maps and news articles.

This is a great place to stop for a walk, (costly) museum trip, and to see some amazing rock formations.

Looking out to the ocean off the west coast of New Zealand. The rock formations are layered like little pancakes. They are fused together. There is a very large rock stack in the middle of an open area off the main edge of it all.
There are numerous pancake rocks here, which are mostly skinny and long with deep gaps in between them.
Harakeke (flax) reaches out in the bottom left. The whole area (out of shot) is fully planted with them making a flax forest. The spot in shot has a small beach area and the rest of the water is quite shallow. Much of the rocks and cliff face are the pancake formation, but there are some areas where it's flat.

Garden Of the Gods II

The Garden Of The Gods is a beautiful geological area just outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Garden is a public park open to the public.
Many wild animals have been known to either visit the park and or have made the park their home including bear, mountain lions, deer, hawks, eagles and many more.

Garden Of the Gods II This is an image captured from the Garden of the Gods located just outside of Colorado Springs, Co. The foreground of this image is a grassy area. The right side border has a shorter evergreen tree, not sure of the species. As you look deeper into the image you can see more of these trees and some smaller bushes. The focal point of this image is a large, jagged rock formation that rises up what seems to be a couple of hundred feet. The sky is clear blue with just a dash of clouds in the upper right hand corner.

Rocks, rocks, and more rocks! This trail that I hiked last week began as mostly dirt with an occasional rock, transitioned to moderately steep solid rocks (as in pic below), then much steeper rocks before the "trail" was more like a "route" over solid rock slab. Fun! Mt Monadnock, #NewHampshire. #FootpathFriday #trail #trails #rock #rocks #RockFormation #geology #mountains #hiking #backpacking #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #outside #GetOutside

Photo looking up at rocky trail in green forest. The trail is shown to be nothing but large gray rocks and boulders that continue into forest on each side of trail. Patches of blue sky and white puffy clouds can be seen through the trees. White Arrow Trail.

I love how #trees can grow out of cracks in boulders. Seems almost impossible. Check out this beauty-- passed it while #hiking last week on a mountain that was mostly #rock. It seems just fine growing out of the crack in this massive boulder. Mt. Monadnock, #NewHampshire. #ThickTrunkTuesday #lichen #lichens #LichenSubscribe #Mosstodon #moss #tree #root #roots #rocks #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #backpacking #mountains #RockFormation #geology

Photo of base of tree emerging from crack of very large boulder. The boulder is about 10 feet high and at least 30 feet long. The boulder is covered with moss and lichen. Several thick roots of the tree are shown penetrating the crack in the boulder. Background is green forest. White Arrow Trail.

This is a view looking up at the final approach to the summit while I was #hiking last week up Mt Monadnock in #NewHampshire. Just about to get above the treeline and enjoy some of the fun hand scrambling to the top. A great feeling seeing the summit start to come in view through the trees! #MountainMonday #PhotoMonday #rocks #RockFormation #geology #mountains #backpacking #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #outside #GetOutside

Photo of distant mountain peak as seen through an opening in a forest of green trees. Solid gray rock slab in foreground. The mountain is composed of same gray rock as in foreground. Sky is solid blue.
