@graemestevens thank you very much!
@kwind rocks in this part of Sardinia are incredible! Thanks!
@summerfield too kind of you, Vikki. Maybe I’m conditioned by the many tragedies concerning migrants from Africa through the Mediterranean.
@seattlite thank you kindly!

@golftragic Yes, "Mater Dolorosa" (translate into "Grieving Mother") is the Latin term for the paintings and sculptures portraying Holy Mary with the body of the dead Jesus Christ. These months in Italy we are experiencing a big crisis with migrants coming from Africa, too many times dying during or right after crossing the mediterranean. We saw some tragic pictures of kids' bodies on the beaches of some small islands in South Italy (close to the Sicilian coast, where most of the human traffickers head their inhuman cargos). When I saw this rock I thought it looked terribly appropriate.
