Rockin' in France

Take a good look at this picture. Doesn’t that rock on the left look almost like the profile of a face?

That’s no mistake – just the result of 25 years worth of work by a priest! In the town of Rothéneuf, France, priest Abbé Fouré passed his time chipping at rock at a site now called the Rochers Sculptures. No one really knows why he decided to do this, or if it was the result of some mental illness. Nevertheless, the eroding figures still gaze out over the ocean, waiting for the elements to wipe them away.
