The strange Plateau prt2

On my 2nd day in Tercui, I walked-climbed down from the village into the barranco of Tercui. It was dry. I wanted to go up again on the other side. I did that once before in October 2007; but in the years after that I could never find a good spot to do it again. This year I tracked something that looked like an old path. After a while I lost it but managed to reach the surface without to many obstacles. Up there is ‘The strange Plateau’. Something happened there once. I don’t know what, but you can sense it. The plateau looks like a big, thin plate of solid rock that is cracked to pieces like a mirror. Some parts look like water; as if the plate once was fluid and then solidified real quick,so that the little waves got fixed in the stone-surface. There are cracks in the surface with traces of a fluid that was once pushed through it and left signs along the cracks. Maybe someone with more geological knowledge can say something about what happened here…

‘Big Tree’

Last year I showed  ‘The Oak-Tree from Tercui‘  This year I gave her a name: ‘Big Tree’; familiar to my other tree-friend ‘Little Tree’, from a couple of days ago. ‘Big Tree’ is old. Parts of her are dead already; while other parts still have leafs to catch the warm light of the Sun.
