Mona 's Dare ...............Rocks of Ages !!

I could spend hours in the presence of the rocks below and above contemplating the power and genius of the Master Sculptor ..... as well as  His fine needlepoint .....and the passing of time. Saint Martin's flowerpot , Fundy Trail Pot and my favourite , Split Rock........ all three within 45 minutes east of here by car along the Fundy Coast. The bottom pic puts Split Rock into perspective as seen from the far end of magnificent Duck Pond Beach   I might add that Split Rock becomes an island at high tide. I might also mention that these Fundy flowerpots are made of sandstone whereas those highlighted in a former blog from the Mingan Archipelago in the Lower Saint Lawrence River estuary are sculpted from limestone.

Blame it on my lack of symetry  I guess. The very top pic I threw in for good measure ..... a big rock known to the Greeks of yore as one of the Pillars of Hercules ! Anybody ?
