RIVER STONE

A friend gave me this found stone about 10 years ago. Today I decided to attempt photographing it. There was some difficulty in color rendition. I tried different backgrounds to set it on. The one that seemed to work the best is this dark glass round.
The colors are fairly accurate.

Hi Mike,
Great ONE there,keep on posting

Regards,
Alex

Heres a different view of the river rock.
I carved a pocket in the slab to accept the bottom of the rock so I could display it standing, height including slab about 12 inches.

Another view. I didn't like the color of the wood slab, so I decided to spray it with black lacquer.

haiku inspired by stone.

out of the blackness
universe birth exploding
beginning of time

I like your haiku, Mike.
Does that mean you are naming your stone Big Bang?

Hi Alan
I guess that BIG BANG would be a good name for the stone.

Here is a different view with a shohin olive added.
