As stated before, it was a beautiful day in the mountains, a little on the cool side but fine once you start hiking around and building up some body heat. I just wore my regular flannel shirt, a toboggan hat, some light working gloves, and I was fine to go.
Pictured below are rocks near the top of this ridge of Wealthy Mtn. I’ve visited this particular set of rocks before, but it could have been up to 15 or 20 years ago. They are fairly much what I remember them being.
Also from about the same spot, I took this shot of Bass Ackwards Lake through the now mostly bare trees.
Detail of another interesting rock here. Almost looks like hieroglyphics.
Back in Lion’s Roar, everything is starting to shape up as the day progressed. The “Dalek Temple” can be seen in the background, protrusion pointed almost directly at us. Quiver! I’ve determined that this passageway through various bottles and other objects into this “temple” is one of two determinable roads of Lion’s Roar. Maybe Temple Way would be a good name?
Lion’s Roar as shot from across Byng Creek, featuring most of the town.
Another shot of that “Temple Way” mentioned above.
3 more colorful bottles were set up inside the railroad, and against the main bulk of the Lion’s Roar rock itself. These are in left to right order, Green Bottle, Orange Bottle, and Pink Bottle. I didn’t realize it until drawing back and taking an overall gander at what I’d done when positioning these bottles in a creative frenzy — almost all the more colorful bottles were set on the inside of the track, and all the clear bottles on the outside. Is this possibly some unconscious reference to racial segregation? Probably not, but I just thought of it anyway. If so, the “colored” bottles are more valuable here, although I don’t see the bottles as people but more as buildings of some sort.
Note: I dare not think too deeply about what could be in the sealed orange bottle. We don’t want to see it break either (!)
More bottles, with the centerpiece here being “Pretty Bottle”, again, like with the colorful bottles mentioned above, set against the main rock wall of Lion’s Roar for further protection. In front of it are two flat, natural rocks of the location. To its immediate left (if we see it as facing away from this wall) is Pale Green Bottle.
Another interesting part of Lion’s Roar, closer to End Line or Low End. Almost seems to be 2 pillars backing another temple of some sort.
Looking toward the center of Lion’s Roar, uphill from the town. The smaller pot in the back is Center Pot, once more. The larger pot more in the foreground doesn’t have a name yet, like many other Lion’s Roar objects. Interesting that it has a door.
Another shot of the biggest of these objects once more, the “Robbie Robot head” temple. It too is helping to prop up the train track a bit here.
