"The Best Framers In The World"

[John]

When Googling for picture framing items, we often come across weird and wonderful stuff, often totally unrelated.

Over the years, this onehas popped up from time to time.

I offer it here without comment.

Hi John
Very interesting, but for me to see a photo of the Moeraki Boulders. Not a lot of people know but Moeraki is a coastal town in the South Island of NZ north of Dunedin (Edinburgh of the South).
Scattered along the beach at Moeraki the boulders are a popular visitor attraction.
The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the sea bed around 15 million years ago and sea erosion of the cliff is exposing the erosion-resistant boulders.
Emerging from the cliff, as if being born from the earth, the World famous Moeraki Boulders are septerian concretions formed some 65 million years ago. Crystallization of calcium and carbonates around charged particles in muddy undersea sediments gradually formed the boulders in a process taking as long as four million years.
World famous in NZ and worth a look if you are out this way.

Cheers from Aotearoa.
