God was lonely... Africa in the beginning

I asked my PH to stop the truck, I had to look closer at this. I had to understand how such a thing came to be. There was no explanation, as there were many of them, rows of them, singles, even areas of many close together in a small area. I had traveled to Africa to hunt one summer not too long ago, and we were driving to a recent burn to look for Zebra. I will never get over the feeling I got when I saw the piles of rocks, perched on one another in such precarious ways. There is no way we could do this with today's best equipment and engineers... yet there were thousands of such piles. After talking to the trackers, medicine men and other locals I came to the only logical conclusion that fit everyone's stories. God spent his time building a place much like heaven. He covered this ball of rock with water, he started the perfect blue print for life and he gave it a spin. That perfect blueprint evolved and followed his divine plans, the animals and the fishes came to be, the insects and the birds, the world was beautiful. God soon got bored, perfection can wear on you, you know, so one day in his treks around the new world, he stopped to day dream. During his mental wanderings he started stacking rocks, not for show or special purpose, rather, just to pass the time. Man finally showed himself and God hasn't been bored since! I really don't know the truth, but I sure felt spiritual when I was near them. This is one of those mysterious rock piles, I believe were stacked by the hand of God himself!
I have started a couple of series stories, Turkey hunts, and an Alaska caribou hunt. I am also going to start another about hunts in Africa. This is a rock pile from Zimbabwe, photographed while I was there on safari.
