Rock cairns are small piles of stones or rocks, often stacked on top of each other to create a tower-like structure. They are commonly found outdoors on rocky shores, hiking trails, or wilderness areas. They can be used for various purposes, including trail markers, artistic expression, or meditative practice. However, the problem is that people are increasingly building rock cairns to leave their mark or symbol of their presence in a natural setting or for posting on social media. Therefore, when engaging in this activity, it is important to be mindful of the potential negative impacts on the environment, wildlife and other people’s experiences.

Moving rocks and stacking them can disturb the natural habitat of tiny creatures. On the rocky shore, these organisms, such as crabs, molluscs, and algae, depend on their environment’s rocks and other structures for shelter and protection. By moving or stacking rocks, we may inadvertently destroy or disrupt their homes, harming their populations. Similarly, rock stacking can also have adverse terrestrial impacts on insects and moss in wilderness areas.

Building rock stacks can contribute to erosion and destabilization of the shoreline or wilderness area. The rocks on the shore are part of a natural ecosystem and serve an important function in protecting the coastline from erosion and the forces of the ocean. When people move or stack rocks, they can destabilize the shoreline; increase the risk of erosion, and damage ecosystems. Additionally, moving stones and creating cairns can disrupt soil structures and contribute to erosion. This erosion can cause sedimentation in nearby water bodies, negatively impacting aquatic habitats and water quality.
Therefore, it is crucial to be mindful of the potential negative impacts on terrestrial and aquatic environments before engaging in this activity. Let us work together to preserve the natural environment and its inhabitants by refraining from building rock cairns in wilderness areas. Remember, every small action counts towards protecting our planet. #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #greatsmokymountains #rockcairn #streams #waterfall #nationalparks

The F-35A is the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter. It replaces the U.S. Air Force’s aging fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons and A-10 Thunderbolt II’s, which have been the primary fighter aircraft for more than 20 years, and bring with it an enhanced capability to survive in the advanced threat environment in which it was designed to operate. With its aerodynamic performance and advanced integrated avionics, the F-35A provides next-generation stealth, enhanced situational awareness, and reduced vulnerability for the United States and allied nations. USA! USA! USA! #usa #usairforce #f35a

This largest member of the deer family loves cold weather and frequents marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests.

To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.

Bull moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. The majority of the moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter, but retain them until the following spring. Female moose do not have antlers.

A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.

Birds, carnivores and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients. #grandtetonnationalpark #grandtetons #moose #wyoming #wyomingwildlife #wildlife_shots #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Moss Glen Falls, which is one of the Vermont’s largest waterfalls begins its journey down several tiers of small drops before making the ultimate
75-foot drop into the waters below. This heavyweight waterfall (125 feet in all) flows down an open area of mixed meadow and forest growth, letting you take in the beauty. #waterfall #waterfallsofvermont #Vermont #waterfalls #waterfallsofnewengland #stowe #stowevt less

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in the Acadia National Park in Maine. Built in 1858, it is the only lighthouse on Mount Desert Island. It is situated on the southern side of the island overlooking Bass Harbor Bar and the Atlantic Ocean. The need for the lighthouse became clear as many mariners were struggling to navigate into Bass Harbor. In 1855, the lighthouse inspector, W.B. Franklin, reported that a lighthouse on Bass Harbor Head was truly a necessity. On August 18, 1856, Congress allotted the funds necessary to purchase land and establish a light station on Bass Harbor Head.

The lighthouse was built in 1858 and went into service that year. It is a white, cylindrical brick tower with a black lantern room. It stands 33 feet tall and its focal height is 56 feet. The lighthouse is currently equipped with a a Henry-Lepaute fourth-order lens which features an occulting red flash every 4 seconds. The light has a range of 13 nautical miles. It is currently an active navigational aid owned by the National Park Service. The Coast Guard transferred ownership to the NPS in 2017. #bassharborlighthouse #bassharbor #acadianationalpark #maine #lighthousesofmaine #

The bottlenose dolphin is a large, sleek, gray-colored dolphin. Compared to most other dolphins, it has a stubby beak, long flippers, and a moderately tall dorsal fin. There is a crease between their forehead and beak. Their coloration is gray with countershading (darker gray on their back, with lighter gray to white on their underside).
Male bottlenose dolphins grow to a size of 8 to 12 ½ feet and 1100 pounds. The slightly smaller females grow to 7 ½ to 12 feet in length and 570 pounds. Newborn calves are 3 to 4 ½ feet in length and weigh between 31-44 pounds. #dolphins #dolphin #dolphins🐬
