Every day was a different sky. The temperature was cold and the air was filled with the smell of wet desert.

Waterscape 4 of 100 for 2025.

This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?

Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.

And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!

Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!

P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
