这是史前的火山遗迹,发生在几百万年前的事了。那山爆发在地球板块的断层处,小部分地貌至今还在“原地”耕作(如果有原地的话,那就是Lancaster, California,往南有百多英里之遥)。大部分随大陆漂移蜗行至此。离这里最近的镇子叫Soledad,在Silinas/Monterey东南10多个英里处。美国政府将此处作为地质遗产保护起来了,官名叫作 The Pinnacles National Momument.
ever so slowly does this ghostly landscape inch forward from ancient time to the far future an automobile rushes by and doesn’t seem to detect any movement but a horde of deer suddenly perk up their ears as if to detect something ghastly a majestic vulture balances himself in the air he obviously doesn’t want to land here but he will fall down from exhaustion someday
an intelligent being wishes to leave a mark here so the movement of the land could be measured later but this is totally puzzling because nobody can figure out when is later, and really who will be here to experience that incredible amazement?
