David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Ancient Caledon

Earlier in the same flight mentioned in Autumn Glory we flew over a bank of ground fog. 

The sun was just over the horizon and deep gold in colour. 

Of course nothing in Caledon is ancient except the rocks but it felt like we were somewhere in Lost Horizon and an earlier time in England had emerged from the mist.

It might take a few million years to get anywhere but you can imagine what this amazing mountain has "seen" in its time...

Mont Aiguille (el. 2085 m./6842 ft.) is a mountain in the massif du Vercors in the French Prealps, located 58 km (36 mi) south of Grenoble. The mountain is most noted for its first ascent in 1492. Charles VIII ordered that the peak be climbed, so one of his servants, Antoine de Ville, made the ascent using a combination of ladders and other artificial aids. This makes it particularly important to climbers and is now climbed many times each year. 

SAILING THE TECTONIC SEAS by David Cale

The mountain rears magnificent 
like a titanic ship’s prow 
it cuts through countless dawns 
sun warmed or storm wracked 
mute testimony 
to the tectonic brooding 
of the planet below our feet 

I am tempted to feel small 

But a mountain is just a mountain 
not a comment on me

This is a rift in the Niagara Escarpment (a geologic feature left behind by the retreating glaciers about ten thousand years ago) It is somewhere north of Toronto Ontario Canada, probably Mono Cliffs in the Caledon area. 

This aerial photograph was taken from a single engine light plane about 30 minutes after the dawn of an October morning when the trees were at the height of their autumn color display. Our altitude was probably about 900 m.
