It just depends how you look at it. When I saw it, it looked to me like two arms holding a bunch of books – just like when I go upstairs to our study then half of them fall down before I get there!
Aside from the poetic, isn't that exactly how arches work? The distribution of pressure from the sides holding up the center. Hmmm. Poetry in that too, huh?
Portal to another time or dimension. Think carefully before you walk through it; it might take a long time to return, or maybe you'll have lived a hundred years and return in a milisecond. Or maybe I read too much science fiction.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

Keystone props?
Two arms coming up out of the earth with the stones being fingers of loosely curled fists.

Hang in there. Hold yourself together. Don't drop the ball.
Two words,

Compression
Martin! You nailed it -- punny guy!
Butting heads over the children.
That's mountain engineering!
It's all about the keystone...life and art.

An accident about to happen.
Ooh, I like the portal idea.
I also really like the support on the right -- it look like two legs helping to push.
For some reason, I've always felt like that thing should be moving in some way. It just seems to convey movement.
Hmmm, Vicki, I'm thinking of Al Green.
Let's stay together...
