Description

We're ascending now via a weird collection of stones called Steinige Matte like you've seen on Gemmenalphorn 13 and (longer ago, from 5/16) Timeout. The rocks have strange shapes and I wonder what history these rocks have. They're covered with yellowish green lichens and most of the rocks do not seem easy to be moved.

What seepage! They seem to be acid etched and leached by dissolved carbonates in limestone like in cave and sinkhole forming. Some force has heaved them way up to where you found them. Life clings to their wasted mass.

clapping I LOVE this mountain!!!! It rocks!!! hehe! Stones are very special; they are God's reminder to us that he is our strength and he will take care of us (Psalms 18:31). I like rocks around me because they remind to let of of my stuff and give everything to God. A tiny stone in my pocket reminds me of this. i like to just feel it sometimes...that feeling can help me when i get worried. Hey, do you see all the animals in this...a turtle, an ox, a fish, a shark...careful where i put my foot...man he's got big teeth! You see them? I LOVE the texture of stones...to feel them. hug them. absorb their energy. They hum! Listen...can you hear them? Perfect compo, Jan-Carel, and set against that deep blue sky....sigh Vote!

Unusual and spectacular!! In french we call this "lapiat" and I love this kind of stones because they create really extraordinary sceneries. This shot is really really good!
