Roche Rock (Cornish: An Garrek) stands out as a rocky outcrop some 20 metres (66 ft) high on the northern flank of the St Austell granite with an approximate area of 600 metres (2,000 ft) x 300 metres (980 ft).)[4] The rock is of interest to geologists as it is a fine example of quartz shorl; a fully tourmalinised granite, with black tourmaline crystals. The Rock itself lies approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) north of the northern margin of the St Austell granite, which is the smallest of the five main apophyses of the Hercynian batholith of Southwest England. The presence of numerous pegmatites occurring as sheets and containing abundant miarolitic cavities carrying quartz, tourmaline, zinnwaldite, topaz. and a wide range of other phases, is why it is considered to have been close to the roof of the intrusion[5] The site is considered to be of prime importance for future research and notification by English Nature as a geological SSSI occurred in 1991.[6]
On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel (dedicated to St Michael) which is said to have been the abode of a leper or a monk. An 1881 description of the chapel, still had a considerable portion of the masony standing and one or two windows were faily perfect, although the steps up to the chapel are roughly cut. Roche Rock has many folk-lore tales associated with it, the two most famous being the legend of Jan Tregeagle, a 17th-century magistrate, who after death found refuge in the chapel and the other being part of the Tristan and Iseult tale.[7]

Rock Island 96333 at Blue Island, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1982, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
I always love the way mosses and lichens colonise rocks. This was another find on our walk in Attadale.
Had never seen black moss before though ... no idea what it is!
Golden Rock, situated on a mountain top, is a big granite boulder that precariously balances on the edge of a cliff with a small pagoda built on the top. This is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. The rock is covered with gold leaves pasted on by Buddhist devotees, however only men are allowed to touch and paste gold leaves onto the surface.
Getting up there is not easy and only designated trucks are allowed to drive up. The ground where Golden Rock is situated is no shoes and socks allowed. It was a long walk, approximately a mile to get to the Golden Rock. Walking bare feet was very difficult, since the ground was dirty, stick and rough at times … but after all, it was fortunate for us to witness such a spiritual site that so many have made it their once in a lifetime journey to come here.

Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad) IS the engine that took the original Grand Funk Railroad, one of rock music’s most successful groups, to the top of the charts. As their lead vocalist, lead guitarist and principle songwriter the group made a beeline to rock stardom following their show-stealing performance before 180,000 people at the Atlanta International Pop Festival in 1969. Due in no small part to Mark's strong and steady vocals, mastery of guitar and stage charisma, Grand Funk was one of those very few bands who really was better live than in the studio, so it was no surprise when their Grand Funk Live Album reached the Top Five. However, all of this paled in comparison to the group's sold out performance at New York's 55,000-seat Shea Stadium in 1971. Not since The Beatles had any group sold out Shea and GFR still holds the record. In 1995, Mark accepted an invitation to join Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band where his show-stealing, footstompin' performances made it clear that audiences were still hungry for Mark and Grand Funk's music. Even after 40 years on the road, some sort of magical transformation takes place when Mark Farner steps on stage. Out of a chrysalis emerges this charismatic alter-ego sprinkled with stardust. When Mark's on stage he's the consummate, professional rocker who's lost none of his chops. His voice is still clear, strong and on key, his guitar playing slick and lightening quick and his trademark prancing still that of a spring chicken. 30 million records sold...Mark's train keeps a rollin'. - (FYI: Mark is 71 years young)

Rock Legends VII (Feb 2019) Cruise Video
This was basically a study for rock work with panels. I got the basics of it from Halhi's Tutorial, which has a ton of good info.
I tried 3 other ways of doing the water, which was painful, but I am pleased that I kept pushing on.
