Walking through the forest at Fontainebleau, ancient hunting ground of Francois the 1st you will come across many unusual rock formations dotted through the trees and alongside the paths. Some like the second picture have an almost animal form and this has led to speculation that they may be carvings which could date as far back as thirty million years. Personally I am not convinced of that although I do think it is a wonderful idea.
What I love though is the smooth tactile quality of the shapes and the colour of the stone contrasted against the greenery all around. On this particular day it was slightly damp and so the stone was slippery and glistening.
