Touch - Unknown Rocks


Smooth, ocean tossed rocks blanket the beaches around Skopelos, causing pain to feet and impressions on skin. However the rocks warm in the sun until they become blistering hot during the mid-day. When laying on the rocks after swimming, one has the heated sensation of them through a towel. Though they are smooth to the touch, the rocks create an awkward gait from people when walking on the beach and leave lasting images on the body from laying on them. The above image shows the memory of the rocks pushed into the skin following an afternoon on the beach, and the culprits of the impressions.
