Brimham Rocks –The Idol Stone

Brimham Rocks –The Idol Stone
Quite an amazing stone here of this massive rock balanced on what must be only inches of rock plinth the size of a football. It felt that if one was to lean on this, it would topple over but it really must have been like this for millennium now.
See Pip for alternative view and previous picture.

Brimham Rocks, once known as Brimham Crags, is a 183.9-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is known for its water- and weather-eroded rocks, which were formed over 325 million years ago and have assumed fantastic shapes. Lots of the rocks, made of sandstone, have old druid names such as Druids Alta, Druids Writing desk etc.

It all looks so precarious, balancing on that relatively insubstantial base. Amazing natural art.
