linda_joyceThe Sun is out this week so I have been taking pictures. I went to an area of Blackwood known as the Rock and Fountain(you will know it sue_chose_this, it's where we parked when we went to the fireworks display). I have always thought it was named after the old pub of that name on the road. I haven't taken any photos of that because about 2 years ago it was 'modernised' destroying all it's character. I went there to take photos of an old, I thought, chapel burial ground. When I got there I found there were no stones earlier than the 19th century and those not very interesting but to get there I walked past this.
A stream running down a very rocky bed with a bit of it looking like a fountain springing from the rock.
.
And finally at the side of the stream which flows through huge blocks of stone, a small patch that fractures a little differently
No it's not dry stone walling , that is natures work.
I think the name came from the Bible, Moses striking the rock to bring forth water in the desert for the Children of Israel as it is a fairly common pub name in this part of the world and at least one of them is in Newport City Centre. And of course we have a lot of rocky streams, most of which I have already shown you.
