The Graves Mountain rock walls and a UTV passing by.steemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Being down in the quarry makes you feel very small and insignificant, the massive grounds and the huge rock walls are an amazing sight. Mature trees line the quarry's rim as they get alot of unblocked sunight. They are open twice a year to the public in the spring and the fall.

This is my entry for #vehiclephotography in the daily photo contest created by @juliank

Another view with the UTV in the middle.

As its leaving the shot, with a nice little dust trail. As its mostly dirt and rocks alot of dust can be kicked up in the quarry. I try to turn away as they drive by as they produce alot.

And a view from the top of the quarry's rim, around where the tree line is in the first photo. There is a UTV in this shot as well, keeping with the #vehiclephotography theme.

Very cool photos! I'm going to have to make the trip sometime and check that place out! Looks like a beautiful day for it too!

@snowyknight

Thank you, I appreciate it. They are open to the public in October and April, so if you plan on going sometime let me know and I may be able to meet you out there.

Yeah it was a nice day, but got real hot by the end. I suggest going in April as October can be quite hot still.

A large stone wall that looks sturdy and strong, why don't you try to climb the big wall @solominer ?

@santiintan

It may be sturdy but its against the rules to climb the walls at Graves Mountain. Plus I did not bring repelling gear. Ive repelled at other places though.

Do you climb rocks?

hola amigo esto me gusta, maravillosa imagen

@betaniaj

Glad you like it, and I agree it is a wonderful place.

That looks like a place that I could have LOTS of fun!!

@nat-expressions

You sure can, just walking around looking at pretty stones is fun enough I think.

Great shots showing the beautiful variations in the rock.

@momzillanc

You are correct, I saw alot of great variations there. Glad you noticed it too. thanks for the comment.

Fab shots. The quarry rock wall does looks huge in comparison to the vehicle.

@redheadpei

Thanks very much, Yeah that quarry is just massive. And in the last photo looking down into the pit just makes me feel even smaller... hah!

Beautiful photographs of Mountain rock walls...
Thanks for sharing with us...

@tussar11

thanks much, and no problem.

Very beautiful photos dear! I doubt @juliank's contests are still going on. Perhaps, these contests are not running these days.

@akdx

Oh my you may be right, their last post was 27 days ago.

thanks for the heads up. Ive noticed some of these photo challenge lists have defunct challenges.
