Sphinx Rock

Ah - but another entry into the category of Sphinxes. This one from the Santa Barbara area of California.

(George) Washington Profile/Profile Rock

The Washington profile as depicted on an early 1900's postcard

Sometimes known as Profile Rock, it is more often known as the George Washington Profile. Out in Central Massachusetts, it now lies surrounded by quiet woods.

Another view of George...

The Sphinx

Another entry into the category of Sphinx-like formations. This one from Australia.

The Double Profile

From a circa 1870's stereoview of the Boulder Canon, Colorado area.

Indian profile

Here we have our first entry into a somewhat 'exotic' category of profile formations. Those that are delineated by the outline of ... space! This example is from an early 1900's postcard of a cave entrance (the Devil's Den) in southern New Hampshire.

Napoleon Profile

What would France be without its own profile of Napoleon? Located at Dettey in the Burgundy section. His present day representation can be viewed at Napoleon

What can one say except this depicts a less politically correct time in our history. Many of these geographic features that once used offensive names have since been renamed. Indeed, one of the most famous of these rocks using this name is located in Virginia, and since has been named the Great Stone Face.
