Hallo Kath!
A very atmospheric photo - and a beautiful! It's great how you "silhouetted" it in front of this wonderful sky. This obviously is an impressive place ...
Greetings from Germany - and have a nice week!

Hello Kath:

Without a doubt, that this place has to be fascinating and full of curiosities, provided by Mother Nature through the passage of time.

The viewpoint side, gives us an opportunity to appreciate in good shape this strange formation, with very beautiful backdrop. Good management of light and perfect frame.

Hi Kath,
It does look like a desk with flat slanted surface. These rocks with varying forms seem to provide endless photo opportunities. A good place worth for another visit, maybe with autumn colours.

Hi, Kath. A good composition with the rocks in the foreground leding to the Druid's Writing Desk. The rock formation stands well out against the sky. The tree on the left and the bushes on the right close the composition well.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Hello Kath,

A composition well balanced for this sight not esay to take. I like the balance between the small tree on the left and the large stone of the another side. The tree and the stones arises very well in this beautiful blue sky furnished with nice clouds.
Best regards,

Hi Kath,
Beautiful textured rocks are very well seen against the lovely blue sky with its intricate cloud patterns.
The lush green foreground contrast effectively with the sky and rocks.
Very informative note about the sites naming.

Nice focus on the "desk". I must say that it seems slightly larger than mine ahumm... Interesting note about it; nice presentation of the phenonemon.

Your composition is great, but i found the colors at bit dark for my taste to be honest, but your compo and accompaniment of the note impressed me.

Hi Kath,
I always wondered how they choose the names for these kind of rock formations... Maybe they ask contemporary sculptors to do that, as sometimes these rocks seem to have been sculpted by men, but their forms tend to be too abstract to go along with the names they give them. But they are also, sooo irresistibly photogenic!... And even give great photos like this to owners of D300!
I already knew this formation from a book given to me by a friend of a friend of Uderzo. :D It's where the British friends of Panoramix gathered!
Regards, José.

Hi Kath,
In addition to your always lovely color, I especially like the way the tree balances the rock formation and the way you managed to show the top of the 'desk.' Your note is very informative, I've never heard of the winds sandblasting these formations - yet it makes perfect sense.
HLJ, Pat

Hola Kath.
Another interesting rock formation, your POV produces a nice view with the rock and the tree producing a good balance, the rock itself has a great balance and really looks like a writing desk. Very well captured.
Well done.
Best wishes.

Hello Kath
These rock formations at Brimham Rocks must be a treat for geologists. Well framed, with good balance built between the Druid's Writing Desk & the tree. Liked the Dancing bear rock in the WS as well. Interesting place & a good set of pictures!
Best Regards

Hello Kath,

A most compelling shot of the Druid's Writing Desk, a bit reminiscent of the stand-up desk that Thomas Jefferson used (he evidently had a bad back and was more comfortable standing upright). Your note is engaging as always. I have not seen many areas in the UK where rocks are seen precipitously balanced on columns. The fairy chimneys in Capadoccia in Turkey and Zion National Park in the western United States are a pair of sites of seen such formations.

Warm regards,

Bulent
