RAINFOREST WALK...          |
|||
|
It's raining.....more like a heavy mist that hovers, becomes supersaturated and some of it forms drops and falls, while moist of it just hangs......the pale circle on the photo of the big rock is a drop of water on my lens.........

Looks like the kind of walk I'd enjoy. I've always enjoyed getting out in the wood. Great pictures.

If a rock like that was here I would search around the perimeter for arrowheads. Indians would lay in wait on the rock & ambush game passing underneath. Also here they would sometimes bury (store) arrowheads there. I would check dirt around (up against the rock) ------if it changes color in a certain spot-----that indicates ashes from a campfire -------for some reason they would store a sometimes large stash of arrowheads underneath the ashes. Normally they would use the rock as a wind break for a fire depending on season.

He took hundreds of 12ft long core samples from the ocean floor and from a fresh-water lagoon. He found the proof of his theory and wrote a very long book about it.....I have a copy, but much of the information is excruciatingly technical. I have gone to some of his lectures, though, and had many conversations...His wife, an Anthropologist, worked on a very interesting dig on a river a couple of hundred miles from here. They found what appears to be a factory/distribution point for stone tools. There are huge amounts of finished blades of many kinds of many kinds of rock and heaps of rock waste and rock waiting to be made into blades. Some of the rock had been imported from as much as 800 miles from there. My friend was the illustrator for the project. he took thousands of photos and also made drawings of hundreds of the blades......There was no evidence of permanent residence.......The area was being threatened by industrial development and the First Nations of the area made a claim to the government that it was culturally significant. The company had to pay a crew of Scientists to investigate and they found this treasure trove. I haven't seen the finished report, but my friend showed me all her drawings and photos and told me about what the Archeology team found. Meanwhile, we scour the old middens.......

I echo ET's sentiments. The forest/photos have taken on an ethereal quality.

Nothing like a long walk in the woods. My son used to live right beside a huge forest in Sweden. Many a lovely walk we enjoyed there . We sometimes got lost and couldn't remember which path to take that led back home lol, all part of the fun. Thanks for sharing your walk with us, and the beautiful pictures.

What a beautiful place to take a walk. With all that is going on here in the USA a walk in a place that beautiful would lower the stress level of a lot of folk here including me. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Creative Ideas.
