Went to a museum the other day and found this beauty. You could say this is where it all began!

Oldest rock in the UK, 2.9 Billion years old

Let it be supposed that way back n the Pre-cambrian era there were some wee single cells hobbling there way up around this thing...

Amoeba Honnold, Mitosis Messner the first climbers :D

Some of us haven't really evolved much since then to be fair...

Catch a glimpse of a craftsman at work, at this level of performance those marginal gains matter and you better bring your A-game for frictional magnesium carbonate displacement!

Every grain you see, brushed to perfection.

He takes all the variables into account, relative humidity, the current solar climate and the Coriolis effect all come into play.

Believe me when I say the eclipse caused absolute havoc with the granular disposition of the particles, whew!

Impromptu Eclipse viewing party!
We had several camera obscura, some Eclipse glasses (Thanks Neal!) and of course... Colanders.

Awesome.
