Very cool and thanks for sharing. Maybe a good thing you got the photos when you did.

In the Southwest, it would be called a hoodoo - they are all over the place due to wind erosion.

That’s a neat rock--pretty good photograph of it, too.
The photo is from when I was shooting jpgs only and I had bright sunlight in which to shoot. The rock is magnificent and makes me laugh when I see it. Thanks for looking.

This is the only one I know of in this area and wind is not a factor as it's surrounded with trees. In fact, it sits on top of a mountain similar to bubble rock near Bar Harbor, Maine. If I call it a hoodoo, someone in my family will say "Hoodoo you think you're foolin?"

Thanks for viewing, your comment brings to mind the pictures I took of the Kinzua Viaduct which blew down in 2003. Glad I shot it while it was still standing. As Joni Mitchel sang, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Image #1 is very cool. Since the sunlight seems to be coming from "9 o'clock", I'm guessing that you opened this backside up a bit. Is the rock really that color?
Second image, in NS you'd think that a good stiff wind would topple that. Again, looks like some localized lightening has take place, yes?

True story, I played with it a little. Color may be somewhat exaggerated. The Nova Scotia pic makes me laugh as well and yes there is a degree of wind there. The first pic is the best but is almost in my backyard and you know how we travel for hours to see things and miss the local beauty around us.

Not sure whether lightning was a factor.

Boehdick, I live near the Kinzua Viaduct and have been to it several times. It was a magnificent structure before the tornado took most of it down. That was a sad day. There are several things available within a short drive for we Pennsylvanians.

I wanted to post these purely for the interest aspect of photography versus any artistic quality. This rock known as Ticklish Rock is difficult to photograph because it sits on the very edge of a hillside. If you ever see it you will enjoy a good laugh at its location. It is on private property so I won't divulge its location.
That is unbelievable. Amazing what Mother Nature can do

What I missed was a trip across that valley in the train. Too late now. You're right, it was a sad day.
