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
This is a secret box with a hidden compartment. It had been in my shed for many years until we moved house and now resides in my garage hence the dust and grime which I like..... Along with the old rug and fir cone. It still stores some old hidden coins
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.

This carved section of tree trunk and root was outside a shop in Sedona.
And to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson, 'it's still not weird enough for me.'
But I think it's tree-mendous.
Ezekiel 40:42 “There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Another shot from the Eastbourne coastline (South of England).
Was fascinated by some of the rocky landscapes, ended up taking more shot of the rocks than the beach on my last excursion here.
Enjoy your weekend and as always, thank you so much for the comments and faves across my stream :-)
Once a beautiful tree, today a sad skull. Carved by humans to impress, for many years, the wooden skull has witnessed the passing of Halloween nights, with hollow eyes and a heart full of rings.
Happy Shocktober!! 💀🎃 HSS!

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.
@Wikipedia
This temple was built in mid 1800s for Burmese monks who spent time mourning the death of a local abbot. Inside is all wooden including a bamboo Buddha. The wood gives it a more spiritual ambience. Inside there is a series of wooden statues also carved in the mid 1800s depicting key scenes in the Buddha's life including when he gave his son and daughter to a beggar as slaves.
Macro Mondays theme: father
71 years ago my Father carved this out of wood for my Mother so that she could create pretty pies for him to eat. His favourite treat is a fresh baked pie. I will be baking him one for this Father's day. BTW Both my parents are still alive and well.
Thank you for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HMM
Smile On Saturday: "Handle" theme
It's a carved wooden cane that my father had that has the words "Carib Reserve Dominica" written on the handle. It's a pretty cool cane with a woven covering on the shaft. I have no idea where or how my dad got it, as I don't believe that he was ever in the Caribbean island country of Dominica.
I did some quick research and found the following: "The Carib Reserve, now known as the Kalinago Territory, is a 3,700-acre district in Dominica set aside for the Kalinago people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island." The name change of the district occurred in 2015.

Our Daily Challenge: "Craftsmanship"
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.

Recordo, quan era petit, haver anat amb els meus pares diverses vegades a un antiquari que hi havia en aquesta casa. Ara és un hotelet rural.
El poble empordanès de Peratallada, apart de ser un dels més bonics de Catalunya (vaja potser el més bonic i punt), també té un nom molt adient. Evidentment Peratallada ve de pedra tallada, i si mireu els fossats de les seves muralles entendreu ràpidament perquè.

==================================================
When I was a child I remember going (with my parents) to an antique shop that stood in this houses. Now is a beautiful little hotel.
The Catalan village of Peratallada (for me possibly the most beautiful in Catalonia) has a very complex medieval urbanism. Centered arround the castle of the Cruilles noble family, the village has several interconected walls and moats, only partly preserved. The stone-carved moats give the name to the village, Peratallada, which means 'cut/carved stone'.
Church of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven (also known as Saint Mary's Church. is a Brick Gothic church adjacent to the Main Market Square in Kraków, Poland.
Built in the 14th century, its foundations date back to the early 13th century and serve as one of the best examples of Polish Gothic architecture. Standing 80 m (262 ft) tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz).
On every hour, a trumpet signal—called the Hejnał mariacki—is played from the top of the taller of Saint Mary's two towers. The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate the famous 13th century trumpeter, who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before the Mongol attack on the city. The noon-time hejnał is heard across Poland and abroad broadcast live by the Polish national Radio 1 Station.

For the Smile on Saturday group - them "Sphere on Black"
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
Despite being a substantial village before the Norman Conquest, the description of Alwalton in the Doomsday Book makes no mention of a church. However, they were certain that there was a church a century later because the earliest parts of the present building date back from 1170 and were clearly the extension of an existing building.
This 1170 work (the first two bays of the north aisle with their solid piers, round arches and skilfully carved leaf volute capitals) is not only the most ancient part of the church, it is also the most beautiful.
During the early 13th century the church was considerably extended. The tower was built and the nave lengthened by the insertion of an extra bay at the west end and widened by adding a south aisle. It seems likely that the wonderful carving around the west door was also carried out at this time but it could have been earlier, having been moved from another part of the church.
With the completion of the 13th century work the church became much as we see it today, except for the transepts and chancel. But things might have been very different if plans to rebuild the church around 1300 had been successful. At that time work began on the construction of a central tower along with a high vaulted chancel and vaulted transept. Inexplicably, after about 30 years, the work ceased. The partly completed tower was taken down and only the chancel and transepts remain from this grandiose plan.
During the next 500 years there was only one major alteration and this took place during the 15th century. The nave walls were raised to form a clearstory and the church was re-roofed. Adding the clearstory involved building new arches at the crossing and it was at this time that the 13th century vaulting in the chancel and transepts was destroyed. Traces of the vaulting can still be seen on several walls but we can only imagine how splendid the building would now be if this magnificent ceiling had survived.
By the middle of the 19th century the church had fallen in to a sorry state and extensive repairs were begun in 1840
