Old Man of the Mountain - What Wondrous Love Is This?

A tribute to the Old Man of the Mountain formerly above Franconia Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I shall never forget the first time my father took us there to see him as if he were showing us an old friend, the "Great Stone Face." The 1805 date in the last frame refers to when the Old Man was first recorded as being seen; of course, he had been there for thousands of years.

Sarah - how sad for the stony old man. He was there a long time. Most evocative music and video. You have some stunningly beautiful countryside in your part of the new world. My rocks are Cambrian, of course.

Every single day I have spent in the White Mountains over the years is impressed upon my memory, but some of the very best were when we climbed to the top of a mountain, and sat gazing for what seemed like hours at the spectacular mountain range all around and the forest and lakes below. I appreciate your comment very much, David. (Of course, what else would the rocks of Wales be?)

This is a beautiful example of an archaic oceanic strain of the human species...called Rock Key Tell Man...It is featured throughout a video posted by stonewhisperer1 here on YouTube. See Stonehenge Decoded. thestonewhisperer@gmail.com
