As above, so below. The same erosion taking place over thousands of years to the sandstone cliffs in the background can be seen over the course of minutes in the sand lining the stream in front of it

Make me a boat of elm and I’ll row myself to sea / Soon I’d miss the anchor that never let me leave / Thinking on my darling, lonesome at the helm / Oh, make me a boat of elm, a boat of elm...

The Visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Hawthornden, 14 September 1842

Artist: Sir William Allan (Scottish, 1782 - 1850)

Date: 1844

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited Hawthornden Castle in Midlothian on 14 September 1842, the last day of their first holiday in Scotland. The owners of the castle, the Walker Drummond family, were away from home and so the royal couple paid only a brief visit. The 23-year old queen was much impressed by the view of the river Esk, and afterwards the party explored the caves in the sandstone cliff, said to have once sheltered Robert the Bruce. Two years after the visit Sir William Allan painted this charming picture of the scene, presumably for the Drummonds. Typical of Allan’s romantic landscape painting, he exaggerated the height of the cliff and possibly the trees, with the result that the people – albeit a royal party – almost disappear in the grandeur of the natural scene.

Long View B/W by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Long View B/W White Pocket Vermilion Cliffs National Monument Arizona March 2025 White Pocket, tucked within Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona, is a hidden gem of swirling sandstone, otherworldly rock formations, and vibrant colors. Its landscape—a mesmerizing blend of white, red, and orange sandstone—has been sculpted into domes, ridges, and brain-like textures over time. Adventurers are drawn to its alien beauty, where each turn reveals a new geological marvel. Its remote isolation enhances the mystique.

I'm on a geology field trip and I discovered a new volcanic dike today! It isn't very big or important but it is cool and all three of the real geologists on the trip got excited about it because they weren't expecting to find signs of volcanism in that area.

Edmaier’s Secret in Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, Arizona

The unusual rock formations in Edmaier’s Secret are slightly more resistant rocks that took a complex structure as the surrounding soft sandstone eroded. These rocks tend to be slightly darker in color than the surrounding sandstone, and are available in a great variety of shapes.
