This was not a long hike by any means and it was a quiet place as we didn't even see another person the whole time. Just my type of falls!! This is 2 blended images to keep focus sharp!! Thanks for having a look.. Kris

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily. And the theme at Smile on Saturday is carved art pieces. I wish I could tell that I’m very good at carving stuff but unfortunately this not the case. I have no carving talent what os ever… I tried to carve something out of soap once and I almost lost 3 fingers… I’m very clumsy and the situation gets even worst when I manipulate sharp objects…

So for today’s picture we have a small wooden elephant and an exemple of my carving talent. I carved this pencil with my initials (I tried to make a heart but it was way more difficult, so I sticked to straight lines …) all by myself !! The elephant is part of my personal collection of elephants. And if I remember right, it was a gift from my aunt. He is very stubborn and he like to push on things with his trunk… Also he is a drinker so dont let him near your drink or it will disappear in no time ! But other than that he is very smart and funny. He was carved from a very hard wood, which makes him almost unbreakable… After all, he survived in my house for so many years....

I wish you all a beautiful day !! See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Back in 1924 my Father carved this Plaque, it is very Special to me...............

Thanks the farmer owning the caves today we were aloved to spend a lot of time photographing. We came in from rain and after being here for about two hours i saw that the steam from our breath and wet cloths was making thin fog.

Then it had to be time to say thanks and head to the city after the adventures of a good weekend.

Still some more from the manmade cave, believed to be carved out by celtic munks some time before norse settlement in Iceland

Sadly I have no idea where I got this tiny box from but a label on the bottom says, 'Holy Land Stone'.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

Lichtenberg Mountain and Lake Valhalla from the top of Mount McClausland. I did go down to the lake after this first portion of the hike, but there were so many over night campers down there just waking up that I didn't want to disturb them, so I left quietly.

Soapstone is a soft stone, easy to carve and etch on.

This close up shows of part of the Twin Lakes in the glacially carved Chain Creek Basin (also called Twin Lakes Basin) on the Beartooth Plateau in Wyoming just south of the Montana State Line. These lake are the largest of a chain of lakes in the Chain Creek valley referred to by geomorphologists as paternoster lakes. This term refers to a series of lakes in a glaciated valley arranged like beads on a string and connected by a stream. These paternoster lakes formed due to differential glacial erosion of more and less resistant bedrock layers. The less-resistant bedrock layers become low spots where water can accumulate while the more-resistant bedrock layers form natural dams that allow significant amounts of water to accumulate in the low spots.

This is named the altar and around one can see carved old norse runes and newer names or initials

The Mistaya River, in the Canadian Rockies, cuts a deep, narrow canyon through the rock.

This pumpkin is just over two inches wide, so my skills were definitely not up to a traditional carving, at least under the close scrutiny of a macro lens!

Antelope Canyon carved from the red sandstone for millennia by seasonal flood rains and wind, the canyons are narrow passageways that lead several hundred feet away from the mouth. Antelope Canyon is also one of the most famous slot canyons in the world. Magnificent Antelope Canyon was named for the herds of pronghorn antelope that once roamed the area.

Smile on Saturday—Carved Art Pieces

The Dilwara Temples or Delvada Temples

are located about ​2 1⁄2 kilometres from the Mount Abu settlement, Rajasthan's only hill station.

These Jain temples were built by Vimal Shah and designed by Vastupala, Jain minister of Dholka, between the 11th and 16th centuries and are famous for their use of white marble and intricate marble carvings.

I started carving this sculpture in 1970, while I was working the wood split, I didn't like that at that time, nowadays I don't mind a few cracks, maybe I'm going to finish this piece next summer in my yard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dit beeld hakte ik in 1970, terwijl ik bezig was barste het hout, dat vond ik toen niet mooi, tegenwoordig zit ik niet meer met een scheurtje meer of minder, misschien ga ik het van de zomer toch maar afmaken.

This is a carved sandalwood air freshener which was given to me as a present many years ago, It still smells wonderful to this day. It is just a bit larger than a tennis ball

Weekly theme in #Smile on Saturday!#

In the storm's fury, the castle stands,

A ruin etched by time’s shifting sand.

Its stones whisper tales of love and sorrows,

Of battles won, and lost tomorrows.

The tempest roars, waves crash below,

Echoing grief that only ruins know.

Yet through the clouds, a golden beam,

A ray of hope—a fleeting dream.

Carved in stone, where silence dwells,

The ghost of love, casts ancient spells.

Its echoes linger, soft and low,

Guiding hearts through life's ebb and flow.

For even ruins, though torn apart,

Hold the weight of an enduring heart.

And as the sun breaks the stormy grey,

The castle whispers—love finds a way.

These walls didn't appear to be sandstone, some I'm guessing it took a few years of water traveling past to carve these curved walls into the rock. Oak Creek, West Fork hike
