NOW That's what I'm talkin about!
The other cool Google Earth "zoom in" experience I had yesterday was to
visit the site I journeyed to in Norway in 1988.
The Northern tip of land in Europe.
***[Unfortunately the Google Earth Image I posted here is too large for
the WrYters Listserve to post- I leave it for the reader to go to the
coordinates below]***
At this location in the shape of a 7m square cross I scraped the
lichens from the rise at almost precisely the blue cross Google Earth
now references Panoramio as "Mageroya"(Actually the name of the Island,
on which one will find the tip of Norruega, which is truely not Tunes
the whaling village burned out by the Nazi's in 1942, but rather the
true North tip is at Nordkapp, two points East of Tunes, some 10k.) The
work I did at Tunes in September 1988 was definitely within a dozen
metres of that blue Panoramio cross as it appears today courtesy of
Google Earth!
Over the square cross I personally identified with Viking lore and the
Sun (as distinct from my X-tian influences) I lay 4 paper panels to
create a 7m x 7m mark from which I took a frottage of the stone face,
within which appeared a spectral face of yet another origin.
At Tunes [ 71 9'47.47"N 25 32'49.80E ] one will find a "Kirkeruin"
on the flat below the rise on which the crosses now exist (Actually, it
is the reason I chose that precise destination in the first place,
having in Stockholm, one month earlier, seen it on a topographic map
while researching where to make my mark.)
Rolling up the 4 papers I returned to Toronto and unrolling the cross
out fell a single lichen from the spot.
My gleaning was that lichens in those climes grow about 1 mm in a
thousand years.
OUCH!
Owl so in my totem, Bob.
Of course, you can!!!!
The singlemost memorable feature of the location are it's receptive
qualities.
At Tunes, directly below where I placed the Sun Cross, I found the
first course of stones laid in a square, from said Kirkeuin, pre 16th
century. Also, upon closer inspection, down at the water's edge exist
three graduatingly deeper stone lined basins of Stoneage fishing
implementation. And, there is also a cast iron caldron full of water,
30 inches in diameter, used by whalers to render their blubber.
The shoreline there is littered with Russian jetsome. Notably white
plastic 20 litre square containers
Don'tchya just love Google Earth?
Wait till we get to Rishiri.
There one will find a story of the Sun and its' people.
Done.

have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the
