Q is for Quarry, and the Quest therefor. This place where Earth's bones were torn from their long home almost a century and a half ago, yet the rock has still not healed. Exposed sandstone reveals the spot; occasional marks of the tools used so long ago. A steep climb, tough to imagine men working here in those early days. Nearby, the rocks are cloaked with lichens, proof of their undisturbance. They watched as George Morrison "settled" this place, using its native rock to grow buildings. Some remain today; some do not.
But the view goes on.More Qs at ABC Wednesday; we are joining mid-alphabet.

Fine pic.
Quarry is so close to our name "carrière".
great idea for Q. & awesome landscape as well. It must be wonderful to be so close to such beauty.
A sad image of what man leaves behind.
Quarry is a very good word for Q !
Awesome post
The quarry rock photos are very nice. I enjoyed looking some of your other posts. It looks like high desert. I have a friend that calls the desert "naked geology." It has a beauty of its own. I invite you to come take a ride on my quad into the Powell River, BC, back country. - Margy
interesting post !!! thanks for sharing :)
I am such not a fan of quarrying they destroy the mountains and the beautiful nature. But I admire those who are doing the quest it such a hard work. Q is such difficult letter.
By the way, maybe you would like to join my bloggy anniversary giveaway :)
