I made this last June while exploring the coast of Cape Cod with my niece. We reached the end of a trail that was high above the beach. Somehow, we managed to find our way down to the beach where this cairn rested. I like the peaceful nature of this image. Have a peaceful Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommas out there.
Peaceful indeed… and thank you for the Mother’s Day Wishes. Im Zooming with my boys today!
I’ll be calling Mom. Have a great day.
Good for you!
Lovely and peaceful! I like the color palette, come upon by chance.
The element of chance is what I like about finding these.
Whenever I see a cairn, I always wonder who put it there. Adds a bit of dimension to the scene.
I always wonder about the creators also.
I love discovering cairn stones. 👁👁🍃
I know. They always make me smile.
Compose another happy day…sending you all good things Chris ☮️💟smiles Hedy 😀
Thank you, Hedy. You as well.
Cool cairn 🙂
Si.
Great shot..I remember that you shared an image like that a year ago or more..but the stones colours were different..
Thank you, Sohair. You have a good memory. 😊

I’m finding your lovely shot and the handsome cairn fairly profound. This has been a challenging time for all of us, and this reminds me that life is a balance of big things and little things. We probably should have expressed more gratitude before the rug was pulled out from under our feet. Lesson learned, but now I have to remember the grateful part. 🙂
I know what you mean about gratitude. It seemed like we took so much for granted.
What a beautiful creation to find out on a walk. I love the symbolism of it and the stillness of the entire image. Really nice Chris!
Thank you, Sandra. It was a fun few days with my niece and I think of her when I see this image. Smiles.
this is beautiful and magical 🙂 I am following a Swedish youtuber who had an entire episode dedicated to the Nordic “stone balancing” and was explaining how it imitates life, you just figured things out and it all topples down only to teach you patience and resilience, then you start over… wonderful shot and post, Chris 🙂 I am sure your niece enjoyed this very much 🙂
Beautiful composition and colours!
It is a straight throwback to the kind of wallpapers I used to have in my Windows, so simple, yet filled with significance, it reminded me of a poem by Lord Tennyson, ‘Ulysses’, this line particularly..
“I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’
Gleams that untravell’d world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.”
It would be a good wallpaper for a computer screen. You’re well read. It’s been a long time since I’ve read Tennyson. Those words to me always meant the great desire to travel and see the world.
Maybe in this quarantine, you can read those poems, it is truly a delight.
