The theme of this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is TIME.
What could be more illustrative of time than a stone, millions of years old, encrusted with lichen, and showing signs of slowly splitting? How many more millions of years before time grinds this stone to dust?

Whenever I see rocks like those, I wonder who has walked on them before me – through time. Your post certainly meets the challenge. Well done!

It sure is interesting. I love the whole concept of blogging – I’d love to be able to travel full time, but I can’t – so interacting with others in this way is the next best thing. Plus I get to read their thoughts about a plethora of ideas.

Rocks sure are old, and tell a story by their wear. The lichen adds to the story.

Wow yes that’s a good idea for time! I wonder what the rock looked like when it was first formed?

Very hot and very red. Perhaps when we get to time travel, we can see it. Thanks for your reponse.
