   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?

   Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours!

     Thanks Ed.
     I’m not very stable at Sunday Stills. Perhaps like a rollin’ stone!

   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.

    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?

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