Well named "newspaper rock" They were downright chatty.Soft rock?Any speculation about age?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_Rock_State_Historic_Monument

Dunno the age of the rock but the oldest petroglyphs on Newspaper Rock go back about 2000 years. The inscriptions in Canyon de Chelly are presumably from the Anasazi period, around 1000-1100 A.D. The Navajo pictographs there are even more striking.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

This is a fantastic picture! The words you added are sort of meditative. I like it!

Blue sky high above, branches swaying with wind. Nature's love song for us.

My region once had many of these wells and huts made of reed. Now there are only a few of them. They're not used.

That's really interesting. I remember that kind of a wells in some old farmhouses when I was a kid. There was a bucket hanging from the tip of the "beam". You'd lift it up by putting body weight on the other end and pushing it down. That lifted the bucket out of the well.

But I never saw a hut like that. What did they use it for?

The shepherds that kept watch over the cows used it for sleeping.

True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

What a wonderful way of life it must have been. Not many would do that nowadays.

We do have cow herds, they keep the grass of our pastures low. From May to September the shepherds keep watch. But they don't use those huts any more.

Your picture is wonderful, as usual. I like the reflection of the sunlight on the surface of the water.

Thank you Johanna. I'm so glad you like that picture.

Here is a sunset picture I took in Finland. It was the most vividly colored sunset I've ever seen. Rendered one breathless. This is the way it was, so it's not edited.

I took a series of four pictures there.

This lake is called "Pyhäjärvi", which means "Holy lake"

Not pretty, but an unusual sight, at least for me.
