A sunlit forest scene with two inset black-and-white photographs of weathered rocks bearing irregular markings.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A green forest with tall, slender trees and dappled sunlight fills the background. Two rectangular black-and-white inset photographs show close views of light-colored, weathered rock surfaces with deep cracks and irregular dark markings.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Subjects and keywords

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue record identifies this as a Facebook post dated July 8, 2017, captioned “7-8 PM: Terri Bussey presents ‘Stories Written in the Stones,’ New research on cultural connections between early Native Americans and the Arranmore Irish of Beaver Island: songs, legends, astronomy and stone structures.”

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The markings on the rocks are not clear enough to identify as carvings, inscriptions, or natural cracks.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
