In response to The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Time.

Nature shows time in so many ways. To me weathered rocks or rock formations, mountains and sand (rock ground down over millennia) remind us of time and how much of it these rocks have seen.

Pancake rocks at Punakaiki, South Island of New Zealand

Weathered rocks with shells attached to them

Rocks and moss at a local beach near Perth

Namib Desert near Swakopmund Namibia, another favourite of mine. The Namib desert is believed to be the oldest in the world (around 55 million years old).

Cape Point, Cape Town South Africa

Table Mountain, Cape Town South Africa, a personal favourite
