The Saturday Post: National Old Rock Day edition
Thought the holidays were over? Think again, for today is a holiday of a special sort: It's National Old Rock Day!
In recognition of National Old Rock Day, here is a video of some of the oldest rocks in town, my town: the glorious rock formations of Garden of the Gods. And to double your pleasure for National Old Rock Day, the video is accompanied by a rendition of a popular tune by some old rockers themselves, Led Zeppelin. (If you don't like Zeppelin—or if the rendition grates on your nerves as it did mine after a mere moment or two, despite being a huge Zeppelin fan—just mute it; the imagery is worth viewing in silence.)
Not only is Garden of the Gods mere minutes from my home (25 to be exact, per Google), it's where Preston proposed to Megan in 2005...at sunrise. Sweet!
Happy National Old Rock Day!
Today's question:
What does the term "old rock" make you think of?

Who knew? Happy Old Rock Day.
Megan sure had a beautiful setting in which to receive a marriage proposal.
"Old Rock" brings to mind, for me, Chimney Rock in the North Carolina mountains, having seen it as a child all those years ago. Then, the Garden of the Gods, just as you displayed them to all of us in the above video ( I DID mute it as the music almost knocked me off my chair!).
I never comment but I have to today. That has got to be the worst version of a Zeppelin song I have ever heard in my life! If I was you I would delete it immediately.
Jim: Agreed. Which is why that little mute option comes in handy.
Those were beautiful pics of the Garden of the Gods.
"Old rock" makes me think of old rockers, like Led Zeppelin!
Lisa, Loved the video. Are the rocks really that color? They look fabulous.
"old rock" makes me think of my grandmother. Dependable. Wise. Stable. Could take her love for granted.
I could go on and on, you know :D I like how you post a question at the end of each of your posts. I always answer them, even if I don't post them here :-)
Probably because I lived in Colorado Springs, the term 'old rock' would always make me think of Garden of the Gods. It did this time. Lovely place!
