Solid As A Rock

Daily casual photo challenge from @adetorrent

I took this photo of "Los Gigantes" on the Canary island of Tenerife


Los Gigantes (The Giants) are gigantic rock formations that rose from the Atlantic Ocean to mountainous heights. There is a village called Masca hidden within those heights. It is said that Pirates of the Atlantic Ocean found refuge there in days of old.

Rocks are some of the hardest things we have on our planet. You've heard of the phrase "rock hard", I'm sure.

Today's theme is:

Hard

To describe the best my entry for your photography contest theme of today I will simply say that it is hard to argue with a woman and be right. You'll never be...

Have a great day!

Dude, this is brilliant entry! :D

Thanks. The fact is that the statues are made out of metal so I am not improvising only with the "hard" theme so I am covered either way 😎.

I know - very smart move :)

😂 You are actually even harder on this argument...

Tried my best...:)

Thanks.

Greetings, @adetorrent .

I share my photo of the San Antonio de Eminencia Castle in Cumaná, Venezuela. This is a fortification built in the 17th century (1659-1686) with limestone blocks and fossilifera sandstone from the hills of Cumaná.

After the damage it suffered during the 1929 earthquake, it was restored and declared a National Historic Monument in 1965.

It is still standing strong, vigilant and protective of our city.

2nd Place Winner 🎉🎉
I love the different kinds of stones thanks.

Thank you very much, my friend!

This fighting machine can be easily compared with the rock. It turned out to be strong and firm enough to go through the battlefield and find its shelter on the memorial. At one time, this car was a weapon and shelter for its team, as well as those rocks that served as a refuge for pirates.

The really hard artwork involving the application of beads or yarn to create mosaic-style designs, so vibrant in color and rich in symbolism, comes from the world of magic and myth...yeah that´s Huichol art.
The price for these items is really high, it´s about thousand pesos even for small objects.

Joint 3rd Place winner 🎉

Lovely! Thank you so much:)

Hmmm Belgian chocolates :)

The ancient Mayan ruins of Coba. Unlike at Chichen Itza, people are still allowed to climb up to the top of the pyramid and enjoy some amazing views of the surrounding jungle. A decent chunk of hard rock :)

Thank you for this entry. This is one of the places I've never been :)
I hope to correct that soon.

You are welcome :) The Coba ruins are amazing. There many other structure at the site, not just this one.

Elephant in captivity

Hi Stevians, happy weekend for all, In life has to be very hard and sad, stay out of their natural habitat, without relatives or beings of their own race, what happens with this elephant that is in a zoo in Caracas Venezuela.

Greetings all,
Pohon Inn, one of the best place to visit & relax in east java, with beautiful & awesome staff. Also I think she's the only hotel that have a weird design inside-out that's closest to nature. Pretty solid concept!

Beautiful place. Thanks for the entry.

This defensive pillbox is located on a cliff top, on the bank of the Dniester River near the village of Zhvanets, Khmelnitsky region, Ukraine. During the Second World War, this pillbox allowed heavy fire to the enemy troops and provided protection for border guards. This dot is stronger than the rock that surrounds it, it is solid concrete.
