- Info Since pink rocks seem to be in vogue, I took the camera down to the shore to join the tourists gawking at the cliffs in the Stångehuvud nature reserve in south Lysekil. Noted and coveted for their color and large glittering crystals, these rocks were saved from quarrying by a, then 'eccentric' now conservationist, rich lady and the quarries moved further north up the fjord. Much of the granite went to buildings and monuments in Germany. I also laughed when I also saw this, reminiscent of a previous pic here at FPC and could not resist taking a shot. :) All by me. -- w.carter-Talk 19:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose Good image, but nothing special, no wow. --Karelj (talk) 20:44, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice rock, however, I can see nothing special --The Photographer (talk) 20:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry but for Karelj --LivioAndronico (talk) 21:40, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - I basically agree with The Photographer: The rocks at the center of the picture are nice, but the composition, overall, is good but not outstanding to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:16, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per The Photographer. I love this rock, it reminds me of the ones you see on Roger Dean's Yes covers, but there's too much here to make it really stand out. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I may not get an FP from this, but I did get a soundtrack for my pic! That's more than most people get. Tnx! --w.carter-Talk 19:09, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
