John Brooks Beach Monday Morning.

I took a look at John Brooks this morning.  As expected, the waves were hitting the beach straight on.

The beach was building, and the sand was soft.

Yesterday I posted a cross found by Chris N. (shon again below0. Chris was looking for help identifying the cross. I did a little research and it appears the cross is Celtic cross. One example is shown above. One of the distinctive features of a Celtic cross is the nimbus, which is the ring or circle.

Cross Found by Chris N.

Below is an illustration showing the parts of a Celtic cross.

It was not unusual for early Celtic crosses to have a shaft or capstone. Some were put flat ono the ground rather than standing high.  

Notice that the shape on the ends of the arms of the Celtic cross shown at the top of this post matches very well the ends of the arms on the one found by Chris.  The carved designs  on the find mirror the shape of the end of the arms.

Here is a link for more information on the Celtic cross.

If you have any other information that might help identify Chris' cross, let me know.

A tropical cyclone could develop, but won't be coming our way

Looks like we could have a bigger surf at the end of the week.

We'll see.

Good hunting,
