The beauty of erosion is often underestimated.

I went looking for visually similar images on Google, and didn’t find any. This may be the first time this geographic location has appeared on the web. There’s something similar in Turkey, but only four of the pillars there have capstones.

There may have been only four capstones in the Turkish picture, but there are ‘undreds of them in the region (Cappadocia).

Hadn’t seen the Tyrol one before. I wonder why it isn’t famous.

It certainly would.

Close to the edge, down by the river

I actually met Roger Dean. He singled me out across a crowded room at a display of his works. “ How is that Tshirt printed?”
So we got talking of all things string and sealing wax.
