Near Browns Farm - Part 2 - Spring (Weird Visual Effect) and Rockpile/Cairn Area

These pictures are from the middle area that has a very small spring that features a neat visual effect.
This is what the spring looks like head on. The stone sticking up at an angle on the right hand side is the one that has a trick up its sleeve.

Now check out the difference between the two different "looks" of the small rock marked with an X, when I go around to the side and back of the spring.

Now check out what happens when I go behind the spring.

It changes shapes! I would like to thank James Gage for pointing out this feature to me, when he was going thru some of the pictures from this site this week. Looking at the rock from this angle you can see that the left edge of the rock has been modified to make this visual trick possible.

The spring sort of anchors the end of a scooped out area that also hosts two rockpiles. This next picture shows the other end of the area with the first of two rockpiles.

This is the same rockpile - just behind a couple of feet away is the beginning of Wall 2 - the long wall which I will be posting pictures of.

This is the second pile. Actually not much too it - but both piles sort of form a square that you could sit in (and stay dry) in front of the spring.

Given the lay of the land - it's possible the spring might have held more water at one time becuase there is some seeping water a few feet in front of the first pile - that of course has an old pop bottle in it.

Milk Bottle - Rockpile

Found this interesting example of a bottle in a rockpile. The old milk bottle was sticking half out of the pile by the old log laying across the rockpile.

 

Circle of Rock with Bottle

I ran across this in an area near the stone walls I have been posting pictures off. It seemed a little too on the mark. The land has been abandoned since the 1950's. The owner who was half black and half white also from my research had some Native American ancestry.

I thought I spotted an upside down half sticking out. And in the words of Tweetie Bird....I did see a bottle...I did see a bottle.

The small bottle is no later than the late 40's to early 50's.

Nice feet!

Stone Wall - Milk Jug

As in parts of New England. I have been finding in Johnstown (Western Pennsylvania) things like this early 20th Century milk jug half buried in the foreground near this possible Native American Serpent shaped wall.

I've posted more about this wall here, here and here. These two pictures just don't do justice to the beauty of this section of the wall.
