Beach Cairn, Cape Meares

Hello Jim,

Wonderful series of images you've been getting. Can you tell me the significance of these Rock Cairns? I see them everywhere I go.

Michael.

Mike,

When you find them in the mountains they are often trail markers, but on the beach like this they are merely decrative. I found a small one on this log and added on to make this one for some photos. I have many of them around my yard. Check out this link for some of the amazing work of Andy Goldsworthywho works with natural materials - his books and video are very inspriational.

Thanks Jim,

I'll check out the link.

By the way. Have you ever heard of these Cairns being called "Stone Boys"?? I vaugely remember hearing it somewhere.

Keep up the Great Work!

Michael,,,,
