Erratic
The huge stone is 12.0m high, 7.5m long and 1.5 - 2.5m wide, with 210 cubic meters in volume and 544 tons in weight.
Te rock platform supporting the erratic is 12.0 - 15.0m long and 8.0 - 10.0m wide, both of them are lithologically o medium-fine-grained porphyritic granite, but they are isolated from distinctly in between. The upper stone seems come from the far away the sky and is so called Erratic.
Tortoise Rock
It looks like a huge tortoise in the far site. In Chinese culture the tortoise is the symbolization of long life.

The stairs were carved on the cliffs. I felt scary and cant look down when first walked the way. It was reported some people fell down and died.

BigV · 06-16-2005, 01:21 PM

Awesome. I want to go.

glatt · 06-16-2005, 01:53 PM

That's really cool.

It's amazing how I have a new filter for looking at places. Just 7 years ago, I would look at this picture, and want very badly to go there. Now that I have a 3 year old son and a girl in kindergarten, I look at these places in fear, trying to picture me safely traversing the path without my kid going under the railing and down the cliff. Maybe in ten years I'll be cool with this kind of place again.

BigV · 06-16-2005, 02:30 PM

Ahh. Sorry. I didn't thoroughly explain myself.

*I* want to go. *I* want to take a camera. Maybe two cameras. *I* want MrsV to go with me. The kids can come, but if they're unable to find an extension cord long enough to keep the GameCube and the television working as they haul them up and over those pinnacles, then they can stay home. Everybody wins.

On the other hand, in ten years, you'll have a fresh teenage boy (Dad, all the kids wear them this low...[/whiny-surly])and a 15 year old daughter, getting ready to drive (Daddy, can I go to the movies after the mall, after that there's a sleep over at Lisa's house, can I have some money, yes, their parents will be home, Mom said this skirt is ok, I don't have any makeup on, oh, that's Johnny's ring, just a sec, 'k?) and perhaps you're right, you may be looking at that cliff in a whole new way.

The erratic is erotic.

superbaton · 06-17-2005, 05:41 PM

I LOVE those bus ads! Where did you find that?!

wolf · 06-24-2005, 06:27 PM

The only mildly neat one I've seen on a SEPTA bus was one that made it look like a giant ear of corn ...

Philadelphia does NOT get the cool stuff first.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-24-2005, 06:31 PM

We could torch it to see if it's pop corn.
