Waitomo limestone

This is a limestone formation in Waitomo New Zealand. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which is largely made up of skeletal fragments of marine coral and foraminifera. As it's partially soluble in water it is easily eroded forming karsts, cave systems, potholes and outcrops like this one in Waitomo, New Zealand.

Dry stone wall

Dry stone walls are found all over the world. They are built today the way they were built two thousand years ago. Using the worlds gravity as cement. They are functional as they are beautiful.

In the beginning

Before there was anything there was stone. It's the world we iive on. The stuff we walk on and build with. It is the most important substance we know. It fascinates me as I know it fascinates many other people. For its beauty as a pure substance, for the buildings and sculptures it has created, and the many mysteries it has locked inside. So in the blog I want to explore stone and showcase its many faces.
