We have a great deal of limestone in our part of the country. This is in a state park that has a river. The river has cut through to the limestone and is now cutting through into the limestone.
There is a place down the mountain from our family cabin and one drainage over where a stream has worn all the soil off of a rock that is flat and the size of football field. In that rock are thousands of worn pockets like that above. I get quickly lost when I start thinking about the time involved in such things.
Thank you Leigh! I wish I had more formal training in it as I am still not able to cut to the core of what I am trying to say. It still lacks a certain elegance.
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
Nice Haiku as usual TB.... but what are we looking at here? A little fissure in the rock? Where did you take the pic?
ReplyDeleteThanks Glen!

ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the case here as well Ed. It is a mind boggling amount of time.
DeleteVery nice! Haiku is something I wish I was better at.
