A few from me. Firstly 2 from Northern Spain

Now 2 from Northern Scotland

Lastly a very quirky take on rocks from Luxembourg where people have been hollowing out the rocks here to make millstones since the middle ages. This is called Hohllay or Hollow Rock, the man made cavern is approx 4,000 sq ft in area.

[Kyle Jones]

I've shot a few rocks...

1) My first "serious" attempt at bowling ball beach

2) Light painting in Yosemite

3) Twilight bowling balls

When I saw Kyle's bowing ball beach it reminded me of Moeraki beach in New Zealand

That's definitely a similar scene. Which is part of the reason I didn't head over there when I visited last year.

I have seen a few rocks in my day that are really beautiful. Here are four examples.

A close-up of sandstone with iron oxide cementing the grains in colorful patterns near Kanab, Utah.

A rhyolite porphyry with pink feldspar crystals and blue quartz crystals near Llano, TX.

A breccia in Mosaic Canyon in Death Valley National Park, CA
