This volcanic wall, overlooking Loggers Lake, caught my eye with it's repetitive pattern and the moss growing between the columns. I wonder why there isn't more growth since you can tell a volcano hasn't gone off nearby anytime soon.

The obelisks stand in a large reflective pool, set back from the central pathway, symbolising the distance that separated Australias prisoners of war from their homes and their loved ones.

Gerduberg Basalt Cliff by Sergio Thor Miernik

Gerðuberg

Gerðuberg is a spectacular basalt cliff on the southern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland. The cliff is famous for its remarkably symmetrical hexagonal basalt columns, formed when lava cooled and contracted thousands of years ago. Rising in orderly vertical formations, Gerðuberg is considered one of Iceland’s finest examples of columnar basalt and is a popular stop for photographers and geology enthusiasts.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula Often called "Iceland in Miniature," the Snæfellsnes Peninsula is one of the country's most diverse regions, featuring volcanoes, glaciers, lava fields, black-sand beaches, fishing villages, waterfalls, dramatic cliffs, and rugged coastlines. Dominating the peninsula is Snæfellsjökull, the glacier-capped volcano made famous by Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth. The peninsula is widely regarded as one of Iceland’s most scenic destinations due to the variety of landscapes concentrated in a relatively small area.

The Palisades of Washington state.

When people think of Washington state, most don't picture something like this. The farther east you travel through the state about mid way through the landscape changes dramatically to scenes that are not only full of character and rustic beauty but could possibly hold a paleontologists dream find.
