Re: Goofy Rocks

How about a thread for some the strangest or goofiest rocks you've seen in your travels?



Or other shapes, structures? Like this hiding Billy Goat?

All of these are fantastic. I don't think I'll be able to top these, but I'll do some digging.

Thanks for playing along and participating.

The QD Shark

Along with that huge "Balancing Rock," this shark is one of the things that I didn't see due to missing the Upper Quarter. Gotta go back sometime.

But I do have a shark of my own (sort of):

Weird Rock

Sandstone wonder at the Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness.

I am really loving the goofy rock pictures so keep them coming. A special thanks to redpakotasea for the Needles pictures. The time we were there was when LA had the Station Fire and the smoke was all the way into eastern Utah and we could barely see the formations in the Needles area.

I'm still looking through my photo's for more but here's some...

Most everyone has seen this one...





Slightly off topic but cool anyways...from the Green mountains in Vermont.

It really is a wonderful thing when something so completely natural catches your eye and your imagination. Ooooh Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Panther rock

The Angry Old Man Rock:

Not goofy but interesting overhang on the North Dome trail.

Here's some new pictures from this weekend on the trail to Clouds Rest. Enjoy...................

Bear Print??? at the beginning of the trail....This bear would have to be the size of an elephant!


Fish Rock??? Kinda looks like the goldfish cracker....


And Finally....a cool looking skull rock...


This was a great way to pass the time on the trail with my daughter. She gets credit for finding all of these. Thank you Mary!

They get that big...but only after dark.

Perhaps this is the true Elephant Rock.

(Referring to the "overhang on North Dome trail" photo)

Picasa Pictures

Here's my take on a well known rock in Tanaya Creek. I've included the before and after.

The Converse Weapon shoe - fantastic imagination.

Here's a beaver with class 5 malocclusion (extreme underbite) OR perhaps it's Walrusman from Star Wars:



I will soon post some from Da Pink Bird, per his request.

Old man. Head eyebrows, and nose...the side of the rock with the sunlight
