"Burrow" is just another name for a rabbit hole. I don't know about you but when it comes to YouTube, I frequently find myself distracted then before you know it, I am plunging down random burrows - hardly knowing where I am.
Cleverly, YouTube's algorithms seem to know what I might like to watch. This is how I discovered intrepid explorers of rural China.
Today I spotted a 1966 video from Germany in which skilled stone masons patiently turn a huge lump of rock into a serviceable millstone. The video lasts for twenty six minutes. I watched it all, in awe of the men's craftsmanship but I guess you could just jump along to get the general gist of what these fellows did. They clearly knew what they were doing and had obviously made many other millstones before this one. I love the ringing sound of their tools upon the stone.
Another video I enjoyed this morning focused on some puzzling and rather huge rocks in America's wild west. The young explorer does not tell us which state he is in. Apparently, he discovered the fascinating location by studying Google Earth on his computer. It might be in the south west - possibly Arizona but I am not sure. This video lasts for twenty seven minutes so again if you are in a hurry, you might want to skip some of the footage. In the end you are still left wondering - if this is a natural phenomenon or were humans of the past somehow involved in creating the site?
I must dash now. After all, there are many other burrows to go down. Anyone got some spare lettuce?
I feel we owe this one to "Lewis Carroll." Surprised you did not tease out the Yorkshire connection.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention that Marcie.. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) spent a lot of his formative years here in Yorkshire
