Birth Stone

Birth Stone

Stone coming from stone - just like people come from people, and everything that is, comes right out of everything that is not. It seems like this ought to be a rare and precious event - but it isn't. It is always, and everywhere, the most common thing there is.

In amongst the rocks, east of Port Eynon, Gower, South Wales.

Hi Colin
Well seen and the title is perfect. It really gets the imagination moving.

Hi Colin - Subtle colour and light. The more I look at the shot the more it morphs into a woman, fascinating comparison. Warm regards Rosemary

Bonjour Colin.
Extraordinary sculptor, over the centuries, the wear of time gave them this beauty inalienable. The eye of the photographer does the rest.
Have a good weekend.
Friendly.
Pierre.

Hi Colin,

Fabulous! The photo, the title and above all the photographer who is able to see this and takes the picture. My respect.
Have a nice weekend

Hallo Colin!
A most interesting and worth seeing contribution - and a stunning one. Nature really is a great sculptor. A somehow magic place - shown in an atmospheric photo.
Greetings from sunny Germany!

... what the hell is a "birth stone" ... LOL ... but yeah, I see what you mean, I can see the head a little so I guess it is not far from kissing the earth :)))) I only see the obvious and I certainly would walk by a stone in labor ... Beautiful the stone, its shape and I do love its texture, it looks very smooth and comfortable to touch ... you would want to lean on and rest a little ...

Only a few words and they make it, great idea of this strange "stone behaviour", Colin. The soft light and good texture take care for the impression you described.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Geez! I missed this one! But I found it now, almost two months later, so that gives me some credit for late but good research, doesn't it - right?

I really get this, Colin - although it seems almost as obscure as the Olympic opening in London. (Sorry, I should probably just leave that topic!)

I carried two kids (not at once) in my belly for 9 months and when it came time to get them onto the earth, I did that too, I never SAW what I was doing. So yes, when I look at this photo - it could be the head coming through, but what the heck do I know? I was busy with pain and pushing and no one gave me a mirror, so I must be honest - I have no idea how it looks! ;-)

Hope you post again soon. I miss your controversial photos and inspiring words!!

Hugs,
Linda
