Superb capture Tara. God Bless.

Stunning! This is one of those elegant shots that just makes me gawk. I'm gawking as I write this. I've gotten pretty good at gawking. Good photography keeps me in practice. Oh, and I love the textures and I can almost hear them doing that grinding thing that grinding stones are so good at. I like that sound, and being one of those 21st century urban sorts of people, I don't get to hear that sound very much, unless it's a recording. OH well. This is perfect!

That is a super cool image, Tara! The texture of this stone is truly something else. Travelling with the sound of the grinding stones might make for a very interesting and powerful experience! Lovely composition and presentation!

Well worn and warm...I can't even begin to imagine how many hands used those stones, how many times they ground corn between them...wonderful shot!

So much history in these simple objects. Who used them? What were they like? Did they sing as they worked? A wonderful image.

So much with so little--both the stones and your foto of them--wow, a great shot!!

I wonder what tails this stone could tell.

Very cool shot, Tara! They look well-used - I suspect they ground grains for many meals. :-)
