Three days ago I posted a shot of a large boulder threatening to crush the town of La Cabrera. How did this rock stay in position? I promised to show how on Friday. Today is Friday. THIS IS THE SAME BOULDER!!!!!!!!! H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

This is what is stopping the giant granite boulder rolling down the hill! It does a good job. The boulder is well-and-truly wedged! The earlier shot of this boulder can be seen on this page.

Love the two sides !

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Pam J ^club

Very different, aren't they. Two different days, weather, etc and the colour of the granite seems entirely different! That is probably why people didn't immediately make the connection between the two shots. The background on each also seems to indicate radically different locations!

Yes, Rosa!. Two very different scenes, and yet taken only a few feet apart!

"No-one could believe it was quite stable." : Not quite (right). ;) Nonetheless, a fascinating rock formation that you have captured very well, Andy! Have a good weekend! :)

You are quite right, so I have amended the title!
