주천의 돌개구멍(pothole)!

영월 주천강변의 암석에 움푹파인 돌개구멍(pothole)! 국가지정문화재 천연기념물 제543호로 지정된 강원도 영월 주천강변에는 단단한 암석인 중생대 쥐라기 화강암이 둥글게 움푹 파인 모양을 가지고 있어서 이를 돌개구명(pothole)이라 부른다.   돌개구멍은 강물에 있는 암석의 갈라진 틈이나 오목한 곳으로 모래와 자갈이 들어가 소용돌이치는 물살로 인하여 회전운동을 하면서 주변의 암반을 깎아 내린 것이다. 강물의 흐르는 속도가 빠를수록, 흐르는 물의 양이 증가하면서 물은 더 빠르게 돌게 되어 돌개구멍의 크기는 점점 더 커진다.   돌개구멍에서 자연과 세월의 흔적을 발견할 수 있다. 천문학적인 세월의 흐름과 대 자연의 소용돌이의 흔적으로 아름다운 돌개구멍의 작품을 감상하게 된다.   하나님의 사람 모세는 “우리의 모든 날이 주의 분노 중에 지나가며 우리의 평생이 순식간에 다하였나이다 우리의 연수가 칠십이요 강건하면 팔십이라도 그 연수의 자랑은 수고와 슬픔뿐이요 신속히 가니 우리가 날아가나이다”(시90:9-10).   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/9934A83359EC124021" class="txc-image" width="1024" style="clear: none;
