Extraordinary geology, formed by wind and rain erosion, on the Kinder Plateau.

Where did you find that hungry pig with its four teeth!? Funny shot.

Just before l texted you today

Amazing how the wind and erosion has carefully sculptured the teeth   

Now thats also uncanny,    and easy to upgrade the teeth by the looks of it.

Yes, the teeth were "false" teeth

Hi Bussty.  There was an element of artistic licence to that shot.

Who ever put them there must have had a good imagination.  8 Miles along the canal planned for today,  the most SHMBO'd agrees to do.

I'm only walking as far as the car door today

Hmm to think I suggested you'd been to the pub for the Peaky Blinders shot. My mistake and suspect you were actually standing downwind of a reggae concert

There were a surprising number of people about by then - but no concert

What a great shot Mr. B.    Got to agree with Depp, sure enough looks like a pigs head with 4 baby teeth.  Really unique the way weather conditions can carve out something as cool as that.

hahha,    that good then.

Nice shot!

Family lunch at our preferred restaurant, followed by siestas I'll do the editing this week.

Nice shot!

Thanks Monty.

I was supposed to be dragging SHMBO'd out for another walk but after yesterday shes managed to get and burst a blast on the bottom of her heel/sole and can barely move on it,  and then its also raining still which is a big no for her too.

Blériot53 Posted at 9-25 23:51
Thanks Monty.

No problem at all!

Looks like you'll be solo today then. Give her a break

Thanks RDB. There's a whole field of such weather - worn structures. More pics and video to follow.

I might just have some workshop time and make a couple of pens.

PS Did you get the survey from DJI to win a OM5?

My pleasure Mr. B.  

Looking forward to more shots from that location.  Very interesting things to see there.

Wood turning pens?  No2 daughter is into that.

No?  I should take a look l guess.

Yes,   I haven't turned any over the summer and felt the need to make a couple. Ones on the lathe and one is glued up read to go.

It had just popped in for me, so maybe they are slowly sending them out.

Maybe only for a select few

thats a shame,  maybe it will come later.

That is for sure a spot to revisit as time allows.  It has to have more hidden "gems" just waiting to be revealed.

There are several routes to the summit too. for variety.

Nice that it has several routes to go up and not just one way.  Are they all hiking trails or are any passable on an eBike?

There were some cyclists at the summit - but they all looked like trail bikes.
No motorised vehicles are allowed up there anyway, but I don't think that includes e-Bikes.

They are still sorting out the eBike where you can go and not go here in the US.  Some bike trails allow the eBikes and others don't.  Kind of depends on the municipality, town, city or whoever maintains them as to what rules they have posted.

I wouldn't have thought that an e-bike is any worse for the environment that a traditional pedal-powered trailbike.

I don't think it is any worse for the environment.  It's just that some traditional bicyclists complain that the eBikers zoom by and that creates a safety issue.  I don't agree but everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
