Weekly Photo Challenge : Half and Half (Rocks)

The DP’s theme for this week is Half and Half.

Photographers talk about the rule of thirds.

Taking pictures half / half is usually not recommended.

This week, I will be sharing pictures which are half / half.

Here is a picture taken in Shilin, Yunnan, showing the strangely shaped rocks.

Sanqing Shan (18) – Putting in Perspective

Sometimes, it is difficult to know the scale of things without anything to gauge or compare.

Here is a picture that I have captured on my hiking, while admiring at the buttress form of the mountain rocks and the plants and trees that have overgrown on them.

On the left upper corner, there is a trial supported on beams socketted into rocks. Hikers are walking on it.

From this, we can appreciate the scale of the mountain features!

 

Sanqing Shan (16) – Snake

The hike in Shanqing Shan has brought us views of some of the strangely shaped rocks.

They are a result of weathering in the nature.

According to the locals, this one looks like a snake coming out from its habitation

Sanqing Shan (15) – The Penquins

The hike in Shanqing Shan has brought us views of some of the strangely shaped rocks. They are a result of weathering in the nature. These ones resemble a couple of penguins.

Sanqing Shan (14) – Layers on Layers

The mountain seems to open up in layers.

On the left, there are clear escarpments overgrown with green plants.

Similarly, opening up in a Vee- shape on the right side are further hill slopes rising up steeply.

SanQing San (11) – Sacred Mountain

Sanqing Shan is regarded as one of the sacred mountains in Taoism.

It is difficult not to have a Taoism perspective when you are up on the mountains.

This is another spectacular view of the mountain taken during the hike.

Pine trees just appear as tiny on this picture.
