Bones of the Earth



Rocks can tell us many things about the land we stand on. Whether its a metamorphic rock formation or a igneous one, rocks are the foundation of the Earth. We feel their grainy texture and marvel at the shapes they take; the evolve to suit their surroundings. These rock formations in particular are from the Hawaiian islands, which means they are igneous rocks, and they are constantly changed by the elements. In the middle picture, there are holes in the rock from where it has just eroded away. In this sense, these rocks have evolved and have molded to the surrounding flora and fauna. The rock is a part of the Earth and is always changing.
