August Words #9 - Face

A rock face - in both senses of the term.

The ‘face’ is pure serendipity - I was driving to the vet, thinking about variations of today’s prompt, face. I thought about a cliff face, but there are no cliffs in my area. So then I thought how about a rock face. Heaven knows we have enough volcanic rock lying around, so I figured that a rock face would be easy to find.

I came across this huge boulder, thought it would do as a rock face, and as I approached it, I saw a resemblance of a ‘face’. The beady rock-eyes seemed to be watching my approach.
I see it too! Great find!

Somehow it seems too well formed to be just a natural oddity. Is there any chance it could have ancient origins?

The face and head of a person with big ears. Well spotted.

Thanks, Rob! I think there are a few natural dents and dings there; those white markings are probably due to some kind of earth-moving machine digging and prodding at the rock.

This boulder is on the outskirts of a car park - so maybe the construction people had to diminish its size a bit by poking around with those big machines in order to build their parking lot.
