Finisterre Rock

 

I was impressed by the size and shape of this rock - it's more than two meters high and the shape of it is almost like the top of the human skull. It has an air of longevity and permanence, solidity - no one is going to make it move in a hurry!  See the black and white version.

I imagine Neanderthals drying any excess meat on that rock on a warm day, Tom.

...or, perhaps, using it as the active wicket when playing cricket...
Tom Wilson: Probably the latter is more likely, Ray smile

And it has been there for millenia - just think of all the things it has witnessed
Tom Wilson: All those sea battles!

It is very skull like Tom, this is an interesting series. I also liked the name Hebrides, but I wish there was one called Fingle's cave after the music.
Tom Wilson: Les Barker's version has some lovely additions smile
It's certainly impressive Tom in stature, wondered what geological events formed it?
Tom Wilson: The last ice age would be my guess, Fred.
Possibly a glacial erratic from the last Ice Age.
Tom Wilson: Yes, my guess, too.
Fabulous rock to come across. Very impressive.
Tom Wilson: Pity I couldn't take it away to keep as a pet rock smile
Where are Fred and Wilma Flinstone?
Tom Wilson: Hiding behind the rock, I think, Chantal smile
Very impressive, Tom, pic', and rock.
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Frank - much appreciated.
It really does resemble the top of the human skull, Tom. Wonder how many humans throughout the ages have sat upon it and gazed out to sea.
Tom Wilson: Many, many, I imagine!
I guess there is a very impressive outlook from the other side of this wonderful stone Tom.
Tom Wilson: Indeed there is, Brian.

I had no idea that there was such a great rockr there, Tom -we learn all the time from shutterchance
Tom Wilson: Cape Finisterre is all rock - very craggy indeed!
Quite impressive Tom. I like the textures!
Tom Wilson: Did you try the black and white version? I think I like it better smile
I agree with you about the B&W version Tom!
