Man and Nature

Central Park

Primordial glacially-scoured bedrock coexists in harmony with the designing hand of humans in and around Central Park. This, I think, is part of the fascination.

Smith Rock State Park

Near Terrebonne, Oregon ~ September 1, 2007

If you're so inclined, you can go onto Google Earth and look up Terrebonne. The numerous blue dots nearby are pictures of Smith Rock. There's a trail up and back (long way or short, your choice) for hikers, but this is also a place climbers come from all over the world. It seems they practice here for bigger challenges, but Smith Rock is stunning in its own right. (I take the trail - and a camera.) The surrounding farmland doesn't prepare you for this anomalous outcropping and it's perfectly scenic Crooked River setting.

Dark clouds

Islands off of Sayulita, Mexico ~ February 10, 2006

We actually tried to snorkel along the rocks here, but the water was rough, and we couldn't see much. It was an interesting experience, though. I'd do it again.

Enjoy Watery Wednesday around the world. Share the fun!
