Gilatona-Lis credits (Brian Robert Marshall, et al.)

Along with images taken directly from GoogleEarth Streetview, Brian Robert Marshall’s UK geograph photos make up the bulk of primary or base location shots I’ve employed for reuse in the Gilatona-Lis collages. I’ve talked a bit about the history of this borrowing here, an extension of my “Baker Bloch in England” 2010 project. More Gilatona-Lis sources coming from UK geograph include pictures from Des Blenkinsopp and Andrew Smith.

Below I’ve attempted to identify all the source links for location photos used in Gilatona-Lis collages, including the contributor’s name and whether it plays a primary or secondary role in a specific collage. Note that a number of the collages mix several different sources of this kind, Lis 01 and Lis 03 being extreme examples here. Whatever the source, almost all primary and even secondary locations are from Wiltshire County, England, an area famous for megalithic sites, white horses carved in hillsides, and crop circles. That is, if we discount virtual locations from Second Life (Gila 05, Gila 07, Latona 01).

For time’s sake, I will not attempt to track down other images used in Gilatona-Lis — like cartoon figures; too many.

So here goes!

And I suppose this is a good enough place to give the links to all the Gilatona-Lis interpretation pages…

PHEW!

Whitehead X-ing 04, NORRIS

Old road leading out of Whitehead Crossing to the south. Unusable now, of course. But did it once service a human dwelling spot in the area? Wish I had a time machine where I could go back in the past to see!

IMG_0079smaller

This old road meets with Main Path (main or really only hiking path in the general Whitehead Crossing area) at this spot, which could be a type of proper entrance to Whitehead X-ing itself if it was a public place. It’s definitely not, however — want to keep this location hidden as much as possible down through the years.

IMG_0081smaller

This is a shot of the Main Path, which we’ve headed north on from the last picture about 50 yards or so to reach this area where it winds through some interesting rocks.

IMG_0082smaller

We now move away from Whitehead X-ing to Norris Brook. I was very disappointed to find that the largest temple of Dongoba had collapsed or *been* collapsed since I last visited in the fall, probably.

IMG_0084smallest

IMG_0085smaller

Since the tall, 5 rock Dongoba temple, or, properly, a cairn (as are all the temples here, properly speaking again) has also been knocked over, I’m strongly thinking that vandalism is the reason involved.

IMG_0086smaller

My mind turned back to the crosses made near the mouth of the creek and also on the central rock, as 1st pictured in another Baker Blinker Blog post. I’ve reposted the latter photo here. I’m thinking that the Christian humans who made the crosses might have also come across this temple complex and thought them to be idols to a false god. Crazy concept… or what actually happened?

IMG_0089smaller

It then occurred to me that I could move these temples back to Whitehead Crossing and rebuild them. So I returned across the ridge to examine my new home base closer. I entered from the south again, Green Stream below me now.

IMG_0090smaller

But I didn’t make it into the heart of the community again, halted by further exploration of this stream. So many rocks here for such a relatively small flow of water! Very similar to what I encountered at the the 2nd Portal on Spoon Fork the week before, except the rocks were not as large nor widespread. Still a comparison can be made.

Whitehead X-ing 03

A fence post near the top of the ridge pictured at the bottom of the Whitehead X-ing 02 blog entry. Some fragments of barb wire are still attached, marking its past function.

IMG_0045smaller

I believe I’ll just go ahead and call this water flow Little Whitehead until I come up with a better name. This would be the stream that empties into Whitehead Brook at the tip of the ridge with the fence post above. I suppose I could scan recent blog posts to see if I can spot a better and more symbolic name. Ram Brook? (probably not)

Anyway, below we have a quite interesting log bridge across this flow.

IMG_0050smaller

Just downstream — still on Little Whitehead, comes this passageway through mossy rocks. This Baker Blinker Blog post from several years ago shows another type of bridge (branch) spanning these rocks. More evidence of the wee people in the area, perhaps akin to those who live on Mohegan Island, Maine? (given the other Maine resonances in the Whitehead area)

IMG_0054smaller

Detail of rock from this same ridge. A secret star map?

IMG_0058smaller

A quite iridescent rock in the Whitehead Brook flow nearby. Not sure what the involved mineral is, but it gives the appearance of an oil film.

IMG_0062smaller

And — perhaps again strangely — just upstream in Whitehead Brook from this rock appears an iridescent *piece of glass*, perhaps originally part of a lamp. I’ll study this matter further. I’ll probably go back to Whitehead Crossing even today; the weather is suppose to be perfect almost all week (!)

IMG_0063smaller

Then just a bit upstream from that, even, we have what I’ll call Remorse Rock.

IMG_0065smaller

Interesting log nearby.

IMG_0066smaller

A look across a line of mossy logs into Rock’s Meadow, with Rock’s grave and also The Arena (alternately, The Lycaeum).

IMG_0067smaller

Rock’s Meadow itself: grave foreground left, The Arena background left, and “Rock’s rocks” background right. Soon this will be filled with green grass. Nice!

Whitehead X-ing 02

Here are some pictures of the many interesting rocks in the general Whitehead Crossing area. Below we have a rock with a bald spot of sorts.

IMG_0026smaller

This one is from the side of the smaller of the two major rocks in the area, or the neighbor to Geogeorock (a.k.a Gray Rock). It seems to act as a pointer, almost.

IMG_0027smaller

This is a slightly iridescent rock at the base of Geogeorock itself. We’ll get to a more interesting example of this quality in a moment.

IMG_0030smaller

Opened nuts on a mossy log. More alien communication or random configuration?

IMG_0033smallest

Flat and smooth rock below Geogeorock, in what is a water flow during heavier rains no doubt.

IMG_0034smallest

Geogeorock itself taken from about the same position.

IMG_0035smaller

Not a rock but an interesting red pattern of mold on a nearby log. Certainly gives the appearance of paint.

IMG_0041smaller

Heart o’ Whitehead straight ahead, with that mysterious patch of evergreen grass to the left. I suppose I’ll have names for all these rocks soon, or at least numbers/letters. If what I think is evolving here comes to fruition down the road.

IMG_0042smaller

The stream flow in the foreground of the above picture…

IMG_0043smaller

… and Whitehead Brook on the other side of the grassy ridge. Direction Rock can be seen in the background, one of the presently named rocks (subject to change, however).
