Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Stunning! This is one of those elegant shots that just makes me gawk. I'm gawking as I write this. I've gotten pretty good at gawking. Good photography keeps me in practice. Oh, and I love the textures and I can almost hear them doing that grinding thing that grinding stones are so good at. I like that sound, and being one of those 21st century urban sorts of people, I don't get to hear that sound very much, unless it's a recording. OH well. This is perfect!
cool !!!
Interesting capture of this stone with trace of abrasion!
Nice shoot !!!
Very interesting shot of an old civilisation grinding stone !
Marvellous, Tara. Simple yet exuding so much history.
That is very cool.
a nicely aged and pitted piece
Wonderful capture. you can almost hear the sounds of the grinding as well as the talking of the women as they prepare the grains or maize
Very elegant composition.
Awesome shot, Tara :)
great POV and capture
That is a super cool image, Tara! The texture of this stone is truly something else. Travelling with the sound of the grinding stones might make for a very interesting and powerful experience! Lovely composition and presentation!
Well worn and warm...I can't even begin to imagine how many hands used those stones, how many times they ground corn between them...wonderful shot!
So much history in these simple objects. Who used them? What were they like? Did they sing as they worked? A wonderful image.
So much with so little--both the stones and your foto of them--wow, a great shot!!
Great image with such a history Hugs Susan
I wonder what tails this stone could tell.
Very cool shot, Tara! They look well-used - I suspect they ground grains for many meals. :-)
