It's a composite image, right?


No, my husband is actually standing on that cliff - the whole western side of the brough is made up of huge cliffs like that. You can walk across to it from the mainland during low tide on the eastern side. It's a fascinating place, complete with a lighthouse and the ruins of a Viking settlement.

Devils Tower in Wyoming. 867 feet tall
According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.

The second photo is a blow up of the first. Notice the rock climber. He's to the right and below the green bushes in the center.

Yes, that's snow from a previous winter on the rocky pier.

St. Mary's is a beautiful structure, but I love the stairs cut into the rocks!

Y'all may get tired of my rocks. I found this natural stone in Custer State Park, no doubt left over from the Ice Age and glacial action by the looks of its polished surfaces. Probably had been buried for years but through freeze/thaw cycles, it got pushed back up to the surface by moisture that would pool beneath it. And here this 16 inch marvel from the ice age lays all by itself in the middle of a prairie with no others close by.


Very cool finding, Larry!
