Adrian from ADRIAN'S IMAGES posted an image a couple of days ago of a sculpture on the shore of Derwentwater during his stroll to Calfclose Bay.
The stone sculpture is The National Trust Centenary Stone ... it has lain there since 1995.

| The Centenary Stone... Derwentwater. |
This large boulder of local Borrowdale vocanic rock was split and carved inside by Peter Randall-page to commemorate the National Trusts centenary in 1995.
Located on the beach at Broomhill Point the stone is often half submerged in the lake.
I have walked past the sculpture many times over the years.
It's a wonderful to see... and not always accessible.

Interesting why it is in such an inaccesible place. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
That is a beautiful sculpture. Maybe being hard to get to makes it all the more special.
Fascinating.. A wonderful sculpture. Thanks for sharing this, Andrew!
Very cool
Thank you for the ezplanation of this sculture, it is a very interesting piece. I bet it weighs a ton or two, no one is going to walk off with that in their back pocket.
Don't laugh I saw people picking up bits of Pompeii to take home as souvenirs when I was there recently.
interesting Andrew and I really like the wonderful mountains backdrop. The last photo looks great where it's partially submerged
Magical! Looks like something out of Tolkien novel!
Excellent information on this Andrew, and i love the lengthy exposure used on the last image. Real nice work.
It looks like a prop off of Merlin or Game of thrones

What a beautiful sculpture, the last photo certainly deserves to be framed! Thank you for sharing, Andrew.
it reminds me of a giant geode. :)
Awesome stone, beautifully sculpted. Great memorial.
Hi Andrew...Hmmm the answer to the strange carving...I was amazed when I saw that on Adrian post...it just seems odd laying where it is !!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the stone!!

What a cool stone! I like it even better when it's surrounded by the water.
Nice, Andrew, I like this sculpture in the nature. Beautiful nature.
Wow ... it's beautiful!
Beautiful and interesting!
Thanks for sharing,

It's an elegant sculpture and I think it's wonderful that it is kind of hidden from the everyday passerby -- makes it as if you've discovered a hidden treasure. I love it!!!
Thanks for the info Andrew, all very interesting!...[;o)
Lovely shots with beautiful colours!
I wish you a Happy Friday!
Very beautiful, really, really!
It is a beautiful place there - I can see why it is assessable at times. sandie
