It looks like someone rolled out a cookie, shaped it into a heart, sprinkled it with red sugar, and left it on the rock to bake. Romantic sprites, perhaps?
Thanks to you all for your friendly comments on this post.
I could write something about how hard it is to get to the heart of the rock…
But in fact it was easy. It was just there. Shining its red color directly in my eyes.
On a day with the romantic sprites playing in the sun.

What a lovely discovery, Carsten ! I wonder how long it has been there… There are some beautiful textures on those rocks. A great shot for a special day. Thank you, best wishes to you too.
Thanks Isabelle.
I had to look it up. The islands ‘Ertholmene’ where ‘Christiansø’ with only 22,3 ha is the largest, consists of granite. 1400 million years old. So that is probably the answer.
Or perhaps it is only visible on special occasions?

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours!
Thanks Gerry.
I’m glad for having a rational explanation for this shape
Very Cool, welcome to Sunday Stills..:-)
Thanks Ed.
I’m not very stable at Sunday Stills. Perhaps like a rollin’ stone!
Now that’s a real heart of stone!! Very interesting, and a great catch.
Thanks dibear.
WOW! that is so cool!
That is simply wonderful..to come across such a find. Lucky.
A very cool find indeed. I’m half-debating whether selective desaturation would’ve added (by bringing it out), or taken away (making it look fake).
Just been looking through your recent posts, I like your work. Congrats on the photo comp successes.
very interesting stone and coloring.
That is very neat…perfect for the days challenge.

Now that’s certainly different! What a great find and awesome photo of it!
Thanks Sandy. – BTW, do you have snow in “the Heart of Texas”?
It’s incredible that there is a camera and an eye to capture such infrequent finds such as this. Very nice!! A late Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!
A very late thanks to you Dana.
…THE STONE OF LOVE (fine picture, Carsten)

I’ll show it to you and Käthe some sunny day!
..Perhaps it will only show itself on special days?
