Maybe we would walk out to it together next time I'm up your way?

Only if you have all day to waste.
Had a look on Google Maps and couldn't see it, followed the route from the Lambton Worm as far as Stanley*, the only thing of interest I saw was this.


*where I assumed that Stanley Tools originated :(

I saw that too Steve... Looks much better from above than on the ground...

I found it, it's called King Coal by David Kemp and the reason you didn't recognise it is that Google is looking straight down so you're seeing the round top and not the brickwork.

To get to it you pass through this rather lovely underpass going under Pelton Lane... It's a good walk from the Lambton Worm... Must be getting on for three or four miles...

I saw the King Coal thing. Did the 3D view on Gmaps for a lot of it but missed that.

Will have a look one day but using a petrol fueled conveyance. Would take me all day to walk there.

There`s several of these glacier placed moving boulders here and there across Finland. That one is about 220km away from me but there`s one much closer in Onkiniemi right next to a main road although it`s not quite as impressive it sitting on a bald spot of bedrock. It`s called liikkuva kivi which means moving stone, although AFAIK it doesn`t move anymore as a couple decades ago the local fire department tried to jack it up to secure it from tumbling onto the road (I mean it only has been sitting still from what, ten thousand years ago) and chipped a bit off from the contact surface so you cannot make it rock by hand anymore.

Actually a video (as it was a moving constantly changing effect. This is a quick screenshot from the video) and full disclosure was actually "picture/video of yesterday evening" but was knackered and forgot when I got home.

This is an abstract piece I'll give a very literal title:
LED streetlamp generated projection of rain tumbling down the windscreen of a 2002 Coupe, viewed on a tan leather seat :) (think that covers it)
