This day I also decided to revisit Hermania and TILE Falls for the first time since last summer or fall. The below photo is taken from behind TILE Falls, opposite the actual drop. The sunlit rock to the left is as yet unnamed, but still perhaps very, very important still to the TILE mythos…
… for on the bark of what appears to be another newly fallen tree — or fallen since my last visit — *3 apparently “man-made” notches are found, pointing directly to the island just beyond and below. My educated guess would be that the aliens have once again predicted my visit and left a sign. “Pay attention to the falls and rock!” they might be indicating.
Also this piece of lichen was hanging on a rhododendron branch directly above the island.
We’ll get back to TILE Falls and neighboring Hermania Central soon enough. Here’s a parting shot for now of the log crossing TILE Creek just upstream.
I should also note that the beaches of the area have *completely* changed in the meantime, and, for example, the position of Jupiter Beach, if we can still call it that, has moved downstream maybe 10 yards from where it was, and also enlarged (see below). There’s also more exposed rocks in the heart of Hermania, around Whole Tree, and a beachy strip of land runs from the log pictured above almost all the way to TILE Falls, curving left in the process. Most of this was simply not present before.
