From Dundas Peak


Looking off Dundas Peak into the valley I think of how this rock I'm standing on was the bottom of a tropical sea, south of the equator, filling with coral 450 million years ago. You can see fossils of sea life and then wonder at how the matter which existed on the earth 6 or so billion years ago had evolved into this. Sometimes it's amazing how long the earth was so similar, sometimes amazing how quickly some things evolve and change. If we want to be sure that in 450 million years from now that we'll be more than bone fossils in rock we'll have to smarten up and not kill ourselves.
