Brimham Rocks, UK


 "Covering an area of over 1 square kilometre on Brimham Moor in Nidderdale these millstone grit stacks have been eroded by glaciation, wind and rain to produce many fantastic shapes."

Breathtaking balance.  My partner has added this destination to our list of "must see" locations for our trip to the UK, and I fullheartedly agree.  This is only one of fascinating rock formations over 50 acres at Brimham Moor in North Yorkshire, England.  For details on how they were formed, go to http://brimhamrocks.co.uk/geology.htm.

She has a fondness for bears, so I expect that the rock that caught her attention is the Dancing Bear, below.  Once again I will do my best to credit the photographer, but it may be hampered by my inability to copy some of the labels and links.
