MY GRANITE ROCK

#granite #rock #myphoto

Your wonderful German folk tale, 'Visbeker Braut' reminded me of my beloved granite rock. Most of the time it’s under my computer desk. I use it for a foot rest. It's wonderful to have my bare foot - right there on top of it. I only remove the rock to clean the floor. We have been together for many years. We have become a part of each other. it gives new meaning to the term "Pet Rock." Unlike many things, and relationships, granite is forever.
- hr wunderbares deutsches Volksmärchen 'Visbeker Braut' hat mich an meinen geliebten Granitfelsen erinnert. Die meiste Zeit liegt er unter meinem Computertisch. Ich benutze ihn als Fußablage. Es ist wundervoll, meinen nackten Fuß genau darauf zu haben. Ich nehme den Stein nur heraus, um den Boden zu reinigen. Wir sind schon seit vielen Jahren zusammen. Wir sind ein Teil voneinander geworden. Das gibt dem Begriff „Pet Rock“ eine neue Bedeutung. Anders als viele Dinge und Beziehungen ist Granit für immer.

In former days they created such beautiful granite entrances; this one is part of a passage in our little town.

Scientists Have Found a Hot Spot on the Moon’s Far Side

Looking closely at the #granite #boulders, you can see they are covered in #lichen and they make the surface rather spongy or flaky depending on moisture conditions. They remind me a bit of Jackson Pollock paintings.

This river #valley looks more bleak than the one I posted last week but it features prominent boulders of #granite strewn everywhere. The land is used for grazing of #sheep and #cattle. You can also see the undulating horizon with many hills in the background.

#Dartmoor in #springtime. The landscape of Dartmoor is quite varied although it is geologically a #granite intrusion into the Earth's crust it has been shaped by weathering, erosion and human intervention, such as #agriculture and #forestry. Here we see a #river #valley in the background and a #TreeStump in the foreground. The weather was as benign as can be expected there as you can tell by the blue #sky and light clouds.

Yesterday Andrea et moi went on a stone hiking trail in Langschlag... took us about 2.5 hours but, we did not do all 11km.

I love the Waldviertel, not only because my paternal gran is from there but, it is such calm and quiet land mostly covered by forest.

The one stone in the middle of the pic is the Wackelstein/wobble stone...

Mystery grows over 100-ton granite boxes in Egypt

Millennia-old black stone boxes uncovered in Egypt are raising a new round a questions in the media, with speculation that the 100-ton pieces of Aswan granite may have been created by aliens. Known as the Serapeum of Saqqara, the massive black...

I did a short #hike in #Dartmoor yesterday. The wind was gusting to over 70 km/h and it was sometimes difficult to stay upright. The weather was very changeable and so we made sure that we were prepared with full waterproof attire, a map in a transparent sealed waterproof case.and some food and hot drinks for this #winter #excursion. Even for a brief trip, perhaps an hour and a half in duration, planning is important. In the photograph you can see the #BirchTor which we'd just been on from a couple of km distance.

The #geology of this #NationalPark is based on the #exposure of #weathered #Granite and #Tors are #outcrops found at the summit of #hills.

I've just been reviewing some #photographs from a few years ago. Here is one of somewhere on #Dartmoor, near #Hexworthy. I like the rather bleak beauty of the place with scant but hardy vegetation in the exposed areas. The #geology is that of weathered #granite which develop into #tors.

Here I am, being a Poser with the #Fountain I built with #Reclaimed #Italian #Black #Granite

Let's try this - been working on my #website, using & learning #wordpress - this is a #Fountain I built with #Reclaimed #Italian #Black #Granite that came from an office building that was demolished in downtown #BatonRouge, #Louisiana - everything you see in the photos and video was built with my 2 hands.
