I would think this a Circular part is from the canal which was built in a round shape of brickwork. Click to see it better.
This rock in the river reminded me of a big turtles head rising out of the river.
We had some problems under the Main Street bridge when a railroad car was too tall. It scrapped the bottom of the bridge and took out the AT&T fiber optic cable then dragged the cable and broke of this telephone pole like it was a tooth pick. This is the case of an unstoppable object against an immovable object. The momentum of the unstoppable object wins every time.
Here is one of dry moss shot in the Spring. I guess I like moss and rocks.

Great post as usual. I personally have thought about doing the buttermilk thingy to get moss to grow on a rock like that. I enjoyed the post, oh yeah, that was a big rock the turtle one. Congrats again on your awards.....you deserve sooo much more.
Congratulations on the award.
I agree, it looks like a turtle.
Congrats on your awards Fishing Guy!
I love the 'turtle' shot. It really does look like a turtle and to me it looks like its head is turned and looking at you. I even see an eye!
Congratulations on the award. Boy, you sure are a popular guy! And with good reason!!
Your shots are interesting along with the narration of each one.
I took some shots of moss covered rocks over the summer, but I just haven't blogged about them yet. I'll get around to it.
Beautiful photos.. and that big rock truly does look like a turtle's head! Amazing!
Congratulations on your awards. You really do deserve them... you are a special friend and photographer!

The perspective/angle of the third one is my favorite.
congrats for this well reserved award. wonderful photos too, specially, i like the second one
Congrats on the Award!! Neat pics-love the round brick part of the canal. And I adore moss covered rocks.
We used to have the Miami and Erie Canal along the Stillwater River area east of where I live and some of the gates are in the river like this. I would guess the circular stone work had something to do with the gates swinging open and closed. Some of the old canal is still visible but much filled-in with dirt and debris and lots of trees growin in what was once the bottom. That mainly runs through or at the edge of Vandalia, Ohio.
Congratulations on you award - well deserved!
That one photo really does look like a turtle!
Thanks for the tour, FG.
An interesting series along the river. Too bad about the cable incident.
Congrats on your award.
