Last week we "strolled" over into Alabama and found these big rocks in the Little River National Preserve. This first one is called Umbrella Rock and as you can see it was right in the middle of the road. The other rocks were located just a few feet away. A few miles away is the town of Fort Payne (home of country singing group Alabama).

Very picturesque area. Nice pics Dot
Oh, wow!! What amazing rock formations!! :)
All your Fall Color-seeking trips make me want to find my way up there so bad! We had planned to go last week, but things just didn't work out. Oh well, maybe next year! In the meantime...I am really enjoying your photos!
I love the rocks! Makes you wonder how long they've been there.
Loved the "we strolled" over phrase! Awesome really dramatic.
Awsome, great photos.
great rock formations. i wonder what type of rock. obviously parts were soft to leave those shapes.
Mama you have had some really nice fall pictures....I'm jealous! Hey why didn't you get any pecans while you were here...I forgot to ask you if you needed any. We have started harvesting. Gotta work today but off tomorrow. I'll call you. LOve u It has been nice & cool here.

Wow, these are beautiful. Looks like you had a good trip.
Those are as big as the rocks by my house...but not as mossy covered.
They remind me a little of Brimham Rocks in Yorkshire - same glacial deposits but without the trees you have.
Great photos on the last 3 posts Dot..!
You live in a beautiful place, and the weather looks perfect.
I came by way of Simply Nice - Ally said I must see your photos and I can see why!
Georgia is a beautiful state!
Cool rocks to climb... (love to do that with my boys...)
Sorry I'm late posting Dot:
These rocks are fantastic.. love the name..
I would like to read up on these formations, I'm sure they will hold much history
What cool rocks! Though the photos are great, I would like to be there to see them!
I like those rocks, I wish it was me making that photo. Thanks to you we can see it anyway.
That looks like a neat place to visit. Those rocks are BIG!
PS - I love ALABAMA (the group)
Never visited Alabama the state.
This is fantastic. Thanks to you for showing this.

Amazing! And beautiful!
I have nominated you on my blog. Take a look!

Glad to see you discoverd my "Eden" dot..This is where i return every year to shoot. there was probably very little if any water going over the falls. did you make it up to Little Rock City?? That brings back so many memories!!
Ooh, those are marvelous to see. Are they called pedestal rocks? There are some quite magnificent ones that look rather like these in our Ozark Mountains northwest of Little Rock.
What unique rock formations.Would love to have visited that park when we lived in GA.
AWESOME!
Could the rocks have been dropped there as the last ice age receded?
Oh!!
Very interesting rock.
I like your photos!!!
Umbrella Rock reminds me a bit of my thighs!
Dot,

They're very unusual. Great photos.
