Whilst eating my cereal this morning the TV show I was watching was broadcasting from Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Having visited there
recently I though about Remarkable Rocks which truly are photogenic.

I thought that there must be thousands of places out there that have great rocks. So come on, show us your rocks.
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to think that clouds were more popular than rocks.
Here are some of our most popular rocks – The Pinnacles in Western Australia.

Nice rocks. Karlu Karlu (The Devils Marbles) in the Northern Territory is also a great place to see rocks. Aboriginal people believe that these boulders are the eggs of the Dreamtime's Rainbow Serpent.

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to think that clouds were more popular than rocks. Rocks and clouds, that would be cool. Here are some rocks I've been wondering what to do with. I think they will end up as B&W prints. 1 [attachment=12304:image1.jpg] 2 [attachment=12305:image2.jpg] 3 [attachment=12306:image3.jpg] 4 [attachment=12307:image4.jpg] 5 [attachment=12308:image5.jpg] 6 [attachment=12309:image6.jpg] 7 [attachment=12310:image7.jpg] 8 [attachment=12311:image8.jpg] 9 [attachment=12312:image9.jpg] 10 [attachment=12313:image10.jpg] 11 [attachment=12314:image11.jpg] 1 Brecon Beacons 2-7 Avebury 8 Kilmartin 9-11 Callanish, Isle of Lewis Cheers, David |

Thank you both very much. I've been struggling with the issue of how to achieve a visual unity with these, before I travel half way round the world again to have another go, and attempt the stones I didn't want to photograph last time. Number 1 isn't part of the series, and number 9 I may leave as is. But I think properly converted and printed they will make more sense as a whole in B&W. Unfortunately I have no idea yet how to really do this. Um, another learning curve coming up this year . David

Vedauwoo in southeast Wyoming has some great rocks - 1.4bn year old Sherman granite sculpted into some remarkable shapes.  It's highly popular with the local climbing community. (Sorry for full size image - how do you do the thumbnail thing?) |

David,
are these growing there? Gabor, I do believe you are right. It must be the soil. Here we seem to only grow these: [attachment=12362:image.jpg] |

One of mine. I remember thinking something when I took it, but I'm not now sure what it was. Looking at it, I can't quite work out whether it's worth anything or if it's just wasting hard disk space. Comments, anyone?
