Here I am thinking about time again. Here subjective time could be said to run both fast and slow. The fallen autumn leaves tell us about an annual growth/decay cycle; the downed and rotting tree and branches tell us of a longer growth/decay cycle -- 20 to 100 years; The rocks tell quite a different story. These are likely to be glacial erratics which were released from the glacial ice some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Some of the pieces seem to interlock -- but are now broken apart. Damaged during shipment? Crushed by other debris as the glaciers melted and retreated? I wonder ... . This image was captured in an area that was touched by glacial forces until about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Glacial erratics are stones that became embedded in the glacial ice and flowed with it from north to south. The size does not seem to present a problem to the glaciers; the largest one in North America weighs 4,662 tons. They are recognizable by how they differ from the neighboring soil or rocks as well as striations or grooves cut into the sides by grinding against other rocks while being moved by the glacial ice. Equipment was a Nikon Coolpix 4300; automatic exposure; 2272x1704 pixels; high image quality; tripod. Site conditions were both shade and direct sunlight; noon; the site had dried out from yestereday's light rain and morning mist. The postwork was done in Photoshop 7: adjust an overexposed area in the upper left; crop and resize. Thank you very much for viewing. I appreciate each and every comment that is made -- progress depends on criticism and advice as well as praise.
