| Savin Rock, more distant in the early Spring - the lovely Patti in shadow |
It is merely a matter of perspective. However, standing atop it on a clear day, one can see across Long Island Sound and Long Island NY, 12 miles (19 km) distant. The colonial army kept a sentry on it to see any advancing warships of the Royal Navy as they approached (and actually landed in 1779) during the American Revolution. So whether big or small in perspective, it is an impressive rock...

Most things (great or small) are matters of perspective!

Wondering if they let folks up on the hill...love the history with the image. Can you imagine having sentries be a part of everyday life? Not me.
Love all those craggy shapes in the shadowy rock. And a great view of the rock looking so grassy from a distance.
great details with your photo Ralph!!! i agree with MMT's comment!!
Me too, agree with MMT's comment!
Patti's shadow is the best shadow! :)
Happy Sunday!

Perspective is everything.
That bench looks inviting and the person shadow is intriguing.
Interesting history of this rock. In western Canada, where we have many, many rocks, few of them have such personal histories, but the rocks in my SSS post today have a very, very ancient history.
