Pretty amazing rock found in the midst of Green Oz Creek just before the lower entrance into Dark Space. Is it yet another one of those ancient artifacts, perhaps encoded with information about Green Oz, or at least the Dark Space part? Time might tell. Its texture reminds me a bit of satellite photographs of the Martian surface. Compare with here.
Standing above the rock.
A brick was discovered beside Green Oz Creek about 10 yards downstream from the rock pictured above. Remnant from an ancient road?
Peering into the lower entrance of Dark Space from Yellow Down, with the rock seen in photos 1 and 2 above being the furthest gray specimen back. Interesting vine above the Dark Space “entrance” as well from this angle.
Another more interesting stone; close to the brick. I have a name for this one: Rib Rock, because its shape reminds me of this curved bone, or a series of such. Actually I think the phrase I’m grasping for is “rib slab”. The rock can be wiggled back and forth like such a slab — or one could say it *rocks* back and forth. I also think of the Flintstone’s car and the giant dinosaur rib slab that topples it over during the closing credits of every episode.
Yd Falls again. Seems like every time I pass through Yellow Down I have to take a picture of it.
And now we return to I. Rock. Yes, I have a name for this one now as well. I. Rock means several things. The rock…
… as seen from this angle, appears to have not one but several “eyes” that stare back at the viewer.
I count 3 or 4 in this one. Can you see them? I’ll point them out in a future post, along with something else. Leaving the rock alone for now, take a good look at the photo above and below. Something very peculiar seems to be going on, so much so that I think I’ll reserve talk about it for a future post of its own (along with pointing out the rock eyes). For now, I’ll say it has to do with another meaning of the name “I. Rock”, and that is as a statement of consciousness. “I. Rock” translates, in this manner, to “I (am a) rock.” Or perhaps even going further, that the rock knows that it rocks, or that it is a very cool and meaningful rock. I really have no doubt of this consciousness factor.
Details from the top of I. Rock. And here’s another crucial term when considering this formation: microcosm. The rock is topped with a layer of soil from which sprouts a number of different plants, including the moss (and violets?) below.
The other side of the “face” of I. Rock, dominated by a crosshatching effect.
Closeup of the face. Notice there is a mouth of sorts as well. Reptilian.
I. Rock is situated about 10-15 yards from Green Oz Creek. The grass decorated rock in the foreground provides a great viewing spot for the surroundings.
Nearing the lower end of Yellow Down now, with Green Oz Creek soon to slide into impenetrable rhododendron as it continues toward Health Lake.
