Glacio-karst landscape features, which are the combined result of glacial activity and rainwater dissolution features, are abundant around Poulnabrone Dolmen. The limestone pavement has been scraped clean by moving ice sheets and the blocks of limestone known as clints are separated by fissures known as grikes. The grikes are formed by rainwater dissolving thin calcite veins that permeate the limestone. While the last ice sheets melted here almost 16,000 years ago and the karst process has been active since then, there is evidence that karst processes were operating in warmer interglacial periods before the last ice age.

The Rijnhaven metro station made for an excellent vantage point, with the former Rijnhaven turning into a park and the high rises of the Wilhelminepier partly dissolving in the mist.

Long live the bike!!
Every now and then, we find one of these at Cannock Chase. It seems to take an age to remove them, and occasionally they are left to dissolve by atmospheric means. Not that Cannock Chase is unique in this matter, just seems a shame to leave them in such a beautiful spot.
Just play with the light dissolve in the darkness in these flower & leaves images, which aim to create unique atmosphere and beauty, just like the spirit or fairy dancing in the dark. Hope you can feel that.
Das Stift Neuberg (auch Neuberger Münster genannt) ist ein ehemaliges Kloster der Zisterzienser in der Marktgemeinde Neuberg an der Mürz in der Steiermark. Es wurde 1327 gegründet und 1786 im Zuge der Josephinischen Reformen aufgelöst. Die Stiftskirche, eine hochgotische Hallenkirche, dient heute als Pfarrkirche der lokalen Gemeinde. Das Kloster wurde bis 1869 als Kaiserliches Jagdschloss genutzt und wird seit dem 21. Jahrhundert als sogenannter Stiftshof unterschiedlich verwendet. Beispielsweisde befindet sich dort eine Werkstatt für kunstvolle Glas-Produkte. Die Zisterzienser-Klosteranlage steht als gotisches Gesamtensemble natürlich unter Denkmalschutz.
Neuberg Abbey (also called Neuberg Minster) is a former Cistercian monastery in the market town of Neuberg an der Mürz in Styria. It was founded in 1327 and dissolved in 1786 in the course of the Josephine reforms. The collegiate church, a high Gothic hall church, serves today as the parish church of the local community. The monastery was used as an imperial hunting lodge until 1869 and has been used in various ways since the 21st century as the so-called Stiftshof. For example, a workshop for artistic glass products is located there. The Cistercian monastery complex is naturally listed as a Gothic ensemble.

Inland east of Pisco from the road between Ica and Lima is the very arid archeological site, Tambo Colorado. This was once - ca.1470-1537 - a large Inca city, built of adobe bricks. The Incas abandoned the site and left it to archeologists to understand their culture here. This is a waterless place - even the Pisco River, visible in the distance, runs almost dry. The aridity has preserved much of the ruins. Rain, of course, would have dissolved the adobe; today even some of the colors of the once painted walls have survived. You can see traces of blacks, ochres, reds and even whites. In those ancient times, red in particular must have been evident. The Quechua name of the town is Pukatampu or Pukallaqta, which translates as Red Resting Place. A plant suitable for such a dry place is the Sweet Mimosa, Vachellia farnesiana or Acacia indica farnesiana. I've placed an inset but in the distance you'll discover the shrubs.
going back to the beginning of time, dissolving into the nothingness and returning to my true nature...
This was a macro of coffee granules dissolving in stirred boiling water. When I was processing it I thought that it looked like a Norwegian Nisse, hence the title.
. . . When I first saw this pattern in the hot pool runoff water that is what I first thought of. This is one of the pools at Norris Geyser Basin, and if you just look at the bottom part of the picture under the tree, you might think the same.
The hot water from the pool contains dissolved minerals and since algae grow at different temperatures as the water cools, the colors and patterns are infinite!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Centred on the artist as avatar, she builds, breaks down, gestures, cries, dissolves. Colour passes over her monochromatic existence. At all times somebody and nobody. An exercise in the minimal.

Sea foam is created by the agitation of sea water and in particular when it contains higher concentrations of organic matter that has been dissolved, such as proteins, lipids and offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These substances can act like foaming agents and when the sea is churned up and breaks on the shore line trapping in air and producing the bubbles. The colour of the sea foam will depend on what properties are in the foam at that time. Due to the sea foams low density the foam can be blown by strong on shore winds from the beach into the land.
This was taken on a cold, drizzly summer afternoon. The light was lacklustre and the tides were not conducive to facilitate any Blowhole activities. Looking beyond the horizon is Tasman Sea.
The Pancake Rocks are a heavily eroded limestone area where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides. Together with the 'pancake'-layering of the limestone (created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments), these form the main attraction of the area. The base of the limestone was laid down and formed between 25 million and 35 million years ago.
Stylobedding is the name given to the process which formed the pancake layering. The current theory on how this happens is that following the limestone being buried up to kilometre below the seabed, it comes under pressure dissolution and the thinner layers of mud between the limestone are dissolved more quickly than the limestone, when exposed. This leaves the effect of the Pancake Rock layers.
Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The Pancake Rocks are a very popular tourist destination at Dolomite Point south of the main village.
On this Sunday morning, the swan is quietly pulling its course across the Rhine in the direction of Stein am Rhein after the fog hanging over the river has dissolved.
...Monday night would provide a brief break from the plains and a quick visit to the city to grab some drinks. As I mentioned before, my relatives out there are also interested in railroads - so I didn't even have to ask to make a quick stop outside of Denver's Union Station to catch some trains. If we're being honest, I'd normally shrug at anything Amtrak around here - but I've found you'll shoot pretty much anything when you're so far from home. P42s are becoming the next dying breed anyway, so there's my excuse.
The train is on electrified RTD trackage shoving into the stub-ended station, and will get a fresh crew here, but won't end up departing until well after dark. This spot on the Wewatta Street overpass ROCKED, as we were able to look right into Coors Field across the tracks and watch the Rockies playing the Brewers... too bad I don't follow sports much.
This one cut right to the root of what i love about painting...
Exploring untouched walls, having no set plan, and being resourceful by making the most out of the minimal materials and time available.

Life seems to sometimes take me for a ride and really the best I can do is try not to panic, remember that the answer is 42, and hold on while powers greater than myself dictate the future. I can't imagine that this place was planned, but to me this place became a work of art through thousands of years of monsoons, rain & wind storms. It's a barren an inhospitable place that becomes impassible when wet. On this trip I gained a new found respect for the mud in the southwest. In fact, an understanding, because the night before is when I got my jeep stuck in the mud 11 miles from the freeway as a thunder & lightning storm was rolling around on the horizon.
It was one of those moments where you're driving along on the dirt road and you see some mud and you think, oh there's a little water, but it should be fine. Well, in most cases, yes. In this particular place in the Southwest, you're going to get stuck.
I watched the sunset burn while I tried to frantically dig out praying that the looming thunderclouds didn't come my direction. As I night hiked out the lightning started illuminating the sky with bright flashes. If you've ever been out hiking alone in the dessert with lightning you fell like it's on top of you no matter how far away it is. The primal fear eventually subsided, and acceptance set in. I decided to sleep a few hours on this spot to capture this astronomical twilight scene. Alex Noriega was an inspiration here and deserves acknowledgement.
The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.
On their blotter of fog the trees
Seem a botanical drawing.
Memories growing, ring on ring,
A series of weddings.
Knowing neither abortions nor bitchery,
Truer than women,
They seed so effortlessly!
Tasting the winds, that are footless,
Waist-deep in history.
Full of wings, otherworldliness.
In this, they are Ledas.
O mother of leaves and sweetness
Who are these pietas?
The shadows of ringdoves chanting, but chasing nothing.

This denim dissolves in rain.
I really can’t get my head around why people buy jeans that are full of holes; I know they are fashionable but to pay for holes, come on! It’s like buying a packet of Polo mints, you pay for a hole and you get a bit of a minty sweet around it; beats me. I wonder what happens to all the middle bits.

Dissolved we be,
In death our matter freed.
With our roots upturned,
Our lives are returned,
To fuel another fire.
Though we be but a memory,
Our spark forever burns.
For in each life,
We find another.
