Tide Pools - Intertidal Zone on the Oregon Coast
Просмотров 888Год назад
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and to some extant the sun. This tidal force pulls the water out, causing what is defined as a low tide. While this happens, isolated pools of water remain in the now exposed rocks, reefs and sand. Low tide exposes sea creatures like starfish/sea stars, anemones, sea squirts, chitons, limpets, crabs, mussels, fish, seaweed and other things ...

    Thank you for these high quality pictures. Rock art is often meant as messages from our ancestors. Sometimes to warn us for a natural disaster that is caused by a celestial body surrounded by a spiraled cloud. It causes a flood and a bombardment of meteors. Many living beings die. So the spiral picture at 52 sec may try to tell us that this spiral rolls over people. When that celestial body comes closer the shape appears as an 8 beamed star with a clear nucleus (@ 3min 30 sec) and even more close to a square cross. Sometimes as a swastika. Worldwide we find these symbols recorded in stone, clay or on animal skin. At 4 min 26 sec at the right we see a kind of eagle with sharp claws that falls from the sky. At 4 min 44 sec we see that planet connected to a giant person who is connected to a normal person. The big person maybe a diety that is from that planet. This is also told in many ancient books and legends. To learn much more about the cycle of recurring floods, the rebirth of civilizations and its timeline, ancient high technology and alien deities, read the eBook: "what I know about Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions. You can read it on every computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: about nibiru roest

    • @markkeller6635
      @markkeller6635 Год назад

      Thanks Linda. It would be nice to travel back in time and witness the creation of the rock art and interview the people creating it. Since that isn't possible it's considered likely that the petroglyphs and pictographs were probably created by the tribes shaman or holy men, possibly during a hallucinogenic trance. The art can be representational, depicting animals that they relied on, like big horn sheep, their hunting tools like the atlatl and bow and arrow, or humans in various configurations. There are also symbolic shapes, possibly clan symbols. Carefully carved spirals and mazes along with seemingly abstract lines and markings are very common. Once you become aware of rock art, it is all fascinating.

    On several occasions during the late 1950s and 1960s, my father, who was part Chickasaw, persuaded park rangers to show us pictographs and once a Pueblo which were closed to the public. The Pueblo had been closed due to people stealing pieces of it, graffiti and vandalism. It felt to me like sacred space. And non native were actually blasting them out of rock all over the Southwest to sell or collect them. In the process many were destroyed. The pictographs were hidden away along streams or in canyons and required some hiking. Their beauty took my breath away. All made such an impression on me that all these decades later I can still relive these experiences in my mind.

We were both fortunate to be involved in and actively participate in one of surfings most evolutionary periods, the shortboard revolution of the late 60’s. In surfing’s growth and innovation since then, major changes to the sport/art form took place. In my role as a photographer, I was able to witness, first hand, Rusty’s development and evolution as a surfer and his progression into the top tier of shapers/board designers and craftsmen. More than belonging to the Hall of Fame, Rusty is a great humanitarian and represents the best that one can achieve in any field!!!
