Larry, beautiful examples you’ve shared—love the Red Rock Lake image, my favorite! The Red Rock Park and the Garden of the Gods are nice images as well. The Morro Rock in Morro Bay creates a stunning backdrop for the many sailboats—nice composition. Thanks again Larry for sharing all of these!I have hundreds of rock pix and here are a few of my favorites

Doug, love your granite and sandstone rock landscape formations—thanks for all these gorgeous landscapes you’ve shared. I especially favor the Alabama Hills composition—very, very nice!This is right in my wheelhouse, John. Here are a few of the many rock images I have taken in my career as a geologist.

Okay Jeffrey, how many of these stones did you give names?Why do we love rocks so much? We give them names, personalities, and stories. We climb them, sleep next to them, and put artwork on them. Some provide shade. Others get in our way. Some are quite colorful.....
