Natural Formations

I got an email the other day about rock formations that look like real things. Most of the ones I got emailed were man made or fake. I wasn't too impressed with that so I went on the internet and tried to find natural rock formations that were shaped to look like something. I found a site that has 18 of them. Here are some of my favorites and how they got that way.

Moeraki Boulders

These round boulders are found all over New Zealand. They were formed by the coast almost the same way as oysters make a pearl. Instead of a grand of sand it starts with a fossil or wood. Then the sea bunches them up with lime and other minerals and they can grow spherical to about 9 feet in diameter! Nature is pretty amazing.

Dead Man – Sleeping Giant

This resting man lays off the coast of Ireland near the Blasket Islands. This natural rock island has been here for years. The climate around it is almost always low black clouds or gray sky. This man lies here peacefully since he is almost long forgot by tourists. The crashing waves put him to ease every day and night.

Indian Head, Witch’s Face

The Indian head is formed in Colorado. This Indian chief watches over the men and the land in the Rockies. Legend is he watches them tear up the earth and hates it so he is always there watching. The second face is that of a witch on Laguna Beach. The long nose, crazy hair, and distinct chin all show it's clearly a witch.

Some day I would love to travel and take amazing pictures of landmarks and formations such as these.
