PhotoHunt: rocks


Rocks shaped by nature.

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. ~ Lao-Tzu (600 B.C.)



Rocks shaped by man.

A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery 



Rocks shaped by man, returning to nature.

I do love these ancient ruins. We never tread upon them but we set our foot upon some reverend history. ~John Webster

    it made me ponder always how the soft and the yielding could wear away the rigid ones and those that do not yield. can also be applicable to man's ways, A.

    I love ruins ... but they are not common in Singapore. They are quickly cleared for more modern developments. :(

    I love the way this progresses, and all such appealing pictures. The sea is so blue in the first one.

    I was going to say your photos rock, but someone beat me to it. They do, though. As usual.

    What a great contribution to the theme!

    I liked the first one very much as I love being out in the nature and it looks so very nice, clean and quiet there.
