The Sleeping Goddess



Further to my recent post, this is a photo taken the other day -- showing the profile of the Carningli summit as seen from the S or SW.  Call her what you like -- Sleeping Goddess, Mother Earth or the Earth Goddess -- but the female profile is unmistakeable,  and maybe this goes some way to explain why some people think of the mountain as sacred, and why it is held that this reverence for the mountain goes back to pre-Christian times.
