Jakes theme for the Sunday post this week is solid. I’m posting a picture of a granite boulder in the North Teign river, called a Tolmen stone. Legend says that fertility is guaranteed, if the rock is climbed through nine times, at the right time of the Lunar cycle.
So my ‘solid’ rock has a metre wide hole in it!

Lovely photo…Gilly Gee. 🙂 Rocks are one of the most solid objects there are…and I love the fact that this one has a hole in it…there is vulnerability in even the strongest of things. 🙂
Beautiful shot! A huge rock has a metre wide hole in it… how cool!
Nice view from the top of the rock.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Great work Gilly I love the hole in the solid rock molded by nature thanks for sharing this 🙂
I love the idea of this hole in the rock but does that mean it holds water or does it leak out somehow? Might it be dangerous if it does hold water because the person checking it out might not know how deep it is…
terrific …. great
Nice one, Gilly!
What an interesting boulder, Gilly. I suppose it must have been used in ancient ritualistic practices, and they believed it had healing and fertility properties. Great pic for the theme. 😉
a solid bath tube for the feet
indeed Gilly!
– would like to carry it home …
Great picture. A fine boulder with a great story behind it.
Intriguing Gilly! Love the perspective in your photo..Had never heard about Tolmen stones before!
I KNEW I recognized that rock!! About 15 years ago I went and climbed through that hole!!! And….I have 4 years ago found ‘The One’ and we are making our future plans with kids included!!….So IT Worked!!! lol!!
My picture has an obvious link to the stones myth, take a look if you like…
