In Twain

All down the False bay coast of the Cape peninsula, there are these huge granite boulder. They get weathered in two quite different ways. The first, the action of the sea, generates these amazingly rounded almost sperical shapes. The second, through possibly some inbuilt fault line, plus chemical action, causes some of them to split in half, like an apple.

 

The biggest piece is huge by the way, around 6 metres high or so.
