The Lion. The Plank and the Weblogger.

 

It’s been dry and VERY cold recently here, the ground is freezing and the air is crisp and fresh. There’s even been a few sunshine days :D and today was one of the better ones, so I went for a walk to the Lion.

The Lion is what we call an outcropping of rock across the fields from our house. I’ve walked and paddled by it for years and know it well but I realised that to an unfamiliar eye it must be quite an interesting site so below are some photos from today of the Lion.

It also has a stone finger close by which is the place I should have Plunk when I needed to plank for the ASSCAT…but due to laziness and lack of commitment I didn’t, so also included in this short photoblog is the Plank that should have been Plunked ;)

 

The Needle:

 

The Needle with a dude on it:

 

The Lion and the Needle (or finger):

 

Scale shot…not too bad getting up there bit scary if you think about it too much :S

 

The Lion…Can you see it?

 

Maybe a better angle:

 

The view from the head of the Lion, which is flat and juts out for a lovely view.

 

Breathing the wind from atop the Lion.

That looks like a great place to do some thinking, get inspired, or maybe just pose dramatically. ;)

@BoulderChristina - Yea it's quite something when the sunshines :)

@xXxlovelylollipop - Hehehe I kind of want to meet her ;)

@niqohl - :D Yea It is quite lion like when you get your eye in.

@AdamsWomanFell - Haha Thank you :D

@promisesunshine - Yea we have some pretty old rocks here, the coasts particularly are beautiful.

@Sheegwa - Well they've been here for a few million years, I reckon you've got time to earn a bit first ;)
And wow thats a cool shot, kind of also see a skull to the right hand side in teh rocks too.

@buddy71 - Natural, as far as I know.
Just lucky erosion.

@clubsmiley - :D Yay

@leaflesstree - Dramatic posing is a common highland pasttime...i'm not very good at it yet :/ lol

@Cestovatelka - We get some good rocks around these parts ;)
a lot of it is quite literally Nice...(or as the particular mineral is spelled Gneiss, pronounced 'nice') hehe 

@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - Well they may have done if the Aliens that helped them build thier temples gave them a lift in the space ship...but i'm guessing they had better things to do ;)

@bmojsilo - Thanks :)

lol, the plank. I love the shot that's the view of the water from above. At first I thought the title was a play on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

@naughty_virgin - Hehe it was! since I wanted to have 'Lion' in the title I tried to make a play on that story name :)

And thanks :)
