Hey Peter, do you know what causes the rocks to do this? I found out on a visit to Mt. Rainier. It is when fire and ice meet, this happens. As in lava flow from a volcano hitting a glacier, at least that is what was explained on the board next to these same formations at Mt. Rainier. = )
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
This is a fantastic part of Northern Ireland. I spent much of my youth in Downhill/Portrush/Portstewart. I grew up in L/derry about 25 miles west of this photo. C
