Split Rock

Happened upon this new painting of Makonikey Head's Split Rock yesterday at the Granary Gallery in West Tisbury.  It's by Kenneth Vincent, a multi-generation islander.

Split Rock and the Makonikey bluffs are features of the terminal moraine of the cape and islands.

Last Sunday there were people standing on top of the rock, something I haven't seen in nearly 20 years.  Some say the rock's two halves moved apart a bit more this spring when a couple tremors hit the nearby Elizabeth Islands.
