Thank you, Pat. I enjoy seeing new places, meeting new people and eating new food. Gotta do it while we still can.

Went through Palo Duro Canyon near Canyon, TX back in July on our way to Colorado.
A lot of Natural Stone still standing tall.

Y'all may get tired of my rocks. I found this natural stone in Custer State Park, no doubt left over from the Ice Age and glacial action by the looks of its polished surfaces. Probably had been buried for years but through freeze/thaw cycles, it got pushed back up to the surface by moisture that would pool beneath it. And here this 16 inch marvel from the ice age lays all by itself in the middle of a prairie with no others close by.

This series really does a great job of showing the
strata in these formations...and tell that guy to
move away from the edge!

"That guy" is my husband - my heart was in my throat the whole time he was out there - at one point he was closer to the edge than that!

Alnwick Castle, Northumberland. Used for some of the exterior shots of Hogwarts Castle in both Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Alnwick Castle is the setting where Harry and his classmates took their flying lessons with Madame Hooch.
If your bad you wound up in the hole and probably forgotten.
Taken from a long way up. Greenland Glacier.

I was wondering when you'd post pictures of your trip! Was the Flodden Wall shot taken on the Greyfriar's side of the wall? Eleven months and counting for our next trip, Lord willing! It's interesting that the grave stones in the Borders are at least twice the size of those in the highlands.
