Not only do I love wrought iron, copper or wood.
I also love and respect natural stone.
Sheer Stone, proud, bare and unmovable

No form or place is too strange for rocks or stone

Rocks can weather almost any storm
(Corona del Mar, California)
They can hold any substance like sulphur or arsenic
( Australia - Wai-o-Tapu)
and survive in any type of environment

But... can you believe it?
This rock is shattered by a tree
that is growing!

Note that the pics from Australia come from the daughter of my brother and her hubby.
They are only in their mid twenties, but one or two years after they got married in Holland they saved up their pennies and made a journey around the world for half a year. It was incredible to how many countries they went!!
The USA was on the tail end of that trip, and they were very disappointed that it was cool weather and raining in December in California. They had counted on a few beach days with their aunt and uncle! But instead we went to Old Navy and the Gap (clothing stores for younger customers) to buy some woollies!
They still had a good attitude about it though and this young hubby was surprised that he could find clothes and shoes in such a short amount of time (I owe it to my daughter that I could be the cool aunt and know where to go with my young relatives, because daughter drags me to stores like this when I come to visit her, or visa versa).
