from Kilimanjaro to the Big Pebble
Le Grand Caillou, Les Gorges de l'Ardèche, France, early morning, winter,1980 photo: JC
The big pebble in question is the one in the river with the sunbeams falling on it. I guess it's really Big Rock - caillou can mean rock or stone or pebble. It was also called Post Office rock for reasons know only to a few, and subsequently lost in the mists of time [some of which can still be seen in this photo].
The water parts either side of the rock, as water does round rocks, and the resulting eddies and currents form one of the first rapids on the descent of the Ardèche gorge.

Stunning photo! Though if that photo was taken in 1980 the rock will have eroded a bit with all that water round it, surely? It's probably Le Petit Caillou by now.
