[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Believe it or not, this rock formation is for real. It's not a computer generated image. It's called The Grandfather's Rock and it's a tourist attraction in Koh Samui. I will show post the Grandmother rock as well in the next post.

According to a myth, two lovers died here together when a huge wave passed by and thus the Grandfather and Grandmother rock were formed as a sign of their true and unending love.

Using scienctific claim, The 'Grandfather Rock' and 'Grandmother Rock' have been shaped over millions of years by wind and water to resemble human sex organs.

Despite the silliness that the stones induce, the spot is actually rather beautiful, with turquoise waters in pools among the rocks.

Naturally, the rocks are a fertility symbol for many Asians, and said to be the origin of the 'Mui' peoples.

Hi Hong,
A great phallic symbol that would have done the ancient Greek or Roman proud ... except this one is for real & not a sculptured by man. Very nice low POV maximizing the impact of the rock. Will come back to this photo again. Got to go now. Regards. Latiff.
