Over the past ten days I've visited Woodwell three times, and I know I'm not finished yet. It seems to be building into a self contained mini project that will appear here on Earthlight properly formed quite soon.
This morning I was drawn to the many faces in the rockface from which the water tumbles. Here's a small selection of what (who?) I found in the limestone and mosses.
Amazing. I have been to Woodwell many times and never seen/noticed these formations. Definitely ‘who’ and not ‘what’. Time I really start to look and see, which I thought I was doing. Thanks for the wake-up call. x
You are welcome Barbara, enjoy your next visit there. The main area is just to the right of the well. x
I also love these, Jason. I love to take close-up photos of rock, moss & lichen. Thank you for encouraging me by example to continue my own path of nature photography.
Thank you Melanie. Yes, you get out there and see what you can find. I find it’s always time well spent even when I don’t catch any decent photos.
It sends a little shimmer up my spine to view the faces in the rock. I am wondering if they are Ancestor spirits, perhaps, or guardians of this sacred place. I am sure the waters will hold and carry many healing vibrations.
Thank you for your comment Fiona, yes I’m sure there are all kinds of spirits inhabiting that space. On some days it feels like a cathedral, or an old library and I creep around making as little noise as possible. I always feel brighter after spending time there.
So many ornery (a word my Dad used for odd characters) faces in those rocks. Bet they have a tale to tell.
Oh yes Anne! I’m sure they have. Great to know of a word your Dad used too.
it looks very spiitual
It is quite a sacred place Joan
