Huge sandstone boulder: calved from upthrust of Rattlesnake Rock, shaped by aeons of patient acidic moisture. Used by First People as gathering place, grinding rock. Landmark.

Fog-diffused light caresses stone texture -- clothed in soft green moss, cold emerald-green lichen. Deep caverns glow orange and yellow. Some scratches can be seen in the surface weathering, deep in the tafone cave. Patterns? How old are they?

Nice soft light. Time and space. Grinding Rock from different viewpoints.

Thank you Dan for sharing these. I see things I never noticed about this incredible eco/artifact. The second little cave! And the photographs are as always beautiful and inspiring.
