Stone faces

My Canadian friend from school, Barney, is in Italy at present.  His family visited Pompeii, and look what he found.

It made me think, shall we have a competition, just the three of us, to see who finds the best stone face in Malaysia?  Post here, but only one entry each.

Hey, guess who?' I'm here too

and this is where I am staying!  Looking forward to meeting up. Love, Lexie.

This is the night I arrived, from the balcony

 

Balcony in daylight

Swimming pool! Haven't been in it yet.

Our private beach! (Well, the hotel's)

Oops! I was here first! (in Sarawak)

I was posting photos to my school blog (private! F.T.E.O.) and didn't think to post here, so herewith!  The first museum we visited. (More later!)

Views of the hotel - we stay here while my Baba is IT manager

Hooray! We're here! Driving from KL airport to hotel

Not a Tassie cousin -

just a Tassiemaniac.  I had to search for this, as you can see, not as many pebbles on our beaches!

Hey! I found his English cousin.

Karangheozis?

But wearing a mask?

Hektomorai! Artemis will be pleased!

NASA reveals its plan for 'Artemis Base Camp' on the MOON 

Rocks that Look Like Faces Museum in Chichibu,- the Chinsekikan (Hall of Curious Rocks) has 1,700 stones!

Yoshiko Hayama, the daughter of the man who started this amazing collection, said her Father hoped it would become known throughout the world.

Many people do already know, but in case you are among those who don't - now you do!  (More details in previous post.)

Searching online.....

... because Alex's latest stone photo reminded me of something, I came across this.

 Don't forget to visit when you are in Japan Alex!

Sort of ridiculous......

Since Alex first started the blog he has published items contributed by Sandy and Lexie, acknowledging them, (us!) and we have just realized, as we are all Alex, anyone of us can post our own.  (You may have to guess who has written them!)
Love,

Lots here of interest, not just about beachcombing!

Buoys, milk crate just some of the trash Scottish beachcomber keeps finding from N.S.

The items from Nova Scotia that end up in the Orkney Islands make their way across the ocean thanks to the currents in place.

NASA says mysterious object hurtling towards Earth could be an asteroid or a comet

Scientists reckon that one is a huge comet, but has so far been unable to identify the other. The comet is set to fly close to Earth this week, but the mystery object isn't expected to make an appearance until February.

Biggest supermoon in living memory set for November 14th - and you won't get to see anything like it again until 2034

It is set to be an incredible astronomical show - and one which won't appear again until 2034.

On November 14th, the Moon will be the closest to Earth it's been since January 1948.

During the event, it will appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon.
