I found this stone in Northern California on the Feather River. I think that it resembles Yosemite's famous Half Dome. What do you think? Sorry I do not have a proper diaza on which to display it at the moment.

Dear Brian

Your stone look a lot like the mountain...a very nice find for you, keep it always. I would never have picked it up, as it dont speak to me.
I look forward to see it in a dai.

Kind regards Yvonne

Thank you Yvonne. The stone spoke to me because it reminded me of the feeling of seeing the massive face of Half Dome and the feeling of grandeur that it inspired. I can imagine rock climbers working their way up the wall. Some stones like this one may have more of a personal or limited appeal because they relate to a certain place or experience for the viewer. I will definitely keep this stone in my collection and construct a dai in the future to better display it.
