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

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

    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.
