Only Mother Nature can create these beautiful rock creations found all over Giant City State Park. Scattered near bluffs and cliffs, they stand in reminder of the harsh affects of erosion over time. Almost all of the rock pictured here is standstone. It was formed 12,000 years ago. It took thousands of years of folding and faulting in the geological world to create the rock formations and its scenery.
It is very neat to walk along the trails and take in the beauty of the park. I love how the boulder in the picture above is precisely balanced over the wide gap. Held in place as if almost by magic, it bides its time. That is how everything acts in nature. It is isn't on a time schedule or in a hurry. It slowly creates beauty like the scene above. Trees grow slowly, leaves litter the ground, grasses start to take root over the rocks. The picture above didn't all happen in one night. I left with the idea that change doesn't happen overnight, but takes our time and effort to create something beautiful if we make up our minds to start the change.
