Great pictures. I'm excited for you and thanks for sharing. It looks Like a different sun angle would bring a lot of interesting things out clearly. Might be some surprises. Have fun! Jim
Guys, cool stuff. Thom, thanks. Been reading and writing heavily.
I thought the red circle contained an owl pointing its wing at the crack. I was referring to what shortstack called an owl as a fencepost or chess piece. The MB is actually right above its head. I thought with the cracks and the wall this was a deathtrap. I've heard some things about owls and Minerva. Across from the owl shortstack mentioned is a winged lion.
gorgias,
The reason I called that free standing figure an Owl is because it's wings come together as a sharp edge. You can see it better in photo #2. Also in #2, there is a hoya at the ground formed by the huge bolder just in front of the owl. (lower right corner of photo)
