The sharp crazy crags and skeletal peaks tell us the story of a young landscape, one that has recently been birthed.
Time has not yet weathered this mountain; rounding and smoothing living rock with erosive rain and wind.
It stands here, raw, naked and somehow vulnerable, a geologic infant in an ancient landscape.
The palimpsest of strata are revealed, a long tale of ocean, lake, estuary and lagoon in this place.
This landscape is a book, and for those with the eye to read, it tells the saga of the earth.
It is a beautiful story and one in which we too are deeply participative, for a while we forgot this, seduced as we were by the world of things.
