Welcome to the world of boulders!

A boulder is a massive rock fragment, majestically raised to the earth's surface, symbolizing strength and the enduring legacy of nature. These large rock formations, thought to have been left behind by glaciers, can be found in a variety of locations: from the shores of lakes and rivers to wooded slopes and vast plains.

Each boulder is a unique geological object, created by natural processes occurring over millions of years. Their sizes range from small, easily lifted stones to giants weighing several tons. The geological composition of boulders is also diverse: they can consist of granite, limestone, sandstone, and other rocks, making them interesting from the standpoint of mineralogy and geology.

A boulder is typically adorned with the marks of nature: its rough surface, intricate cracks, and signs of time make each one unique. The surroundings of boulders can vary depending on climatic conditions and the season. For example, in winter, a boulder may be covered with a blanket of snow, while in summer, it takes on the vibrant hues of various greens. These characteristics make the boulder an unchanging element of any landscape scene.

Besides their aesthetic value, boulders play an important role in ecosystems. They can serve as shelter for small animals and are significant components in soil formation and water exchange. They can become a sort of foundation for local plants, creating ideal conditions for their growth in unfavorable environments.

Don't miss the opportunity to periodically capture boulders in photographs! In this collection, you will find various images of boulders in different natural compositions that will help you discover the essence of an integral part of our planetary heritage.
