If a feature cross-cuts another feature, the cross-cutting feature must have come later. Here a small grained lattice work of quarz intrusions into dolostone was first. The cross-cutting granular and ironoxide laced vein must have come later, Matauqa area Utah, size 1x2"
NOT a painting, cut and polished rock formation!
It's hard to choose a favorite side on these reversible collectibles

This older basalt flow on Hilina Pali Road near Kulanaokuaiki in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is brown in color instead of black. This is due to weathering of the iron rich minerals like pyroxene and other mafic minerals into secondary minerals like hydrated iron oxide minerals such as goethite and jarosite as well as other low temperature iron bearing minerals. Originally called a mineral, limonite is made of of a mixture of hydrated iron oxide minerals and is often used to describe the minerals in these kinds of weathered layers
A risk-taking, water-soaked exploration of the universal need to migrate. This daring large-scale outdoor production weaves together extreme physicality, a stunning soundtrack, intricate imagery and strange yet familiar characters.
In a world of dangers, high seas and troubled lands, CARGO tells the tale of two people and their quest for the perfect place to call home. Filled with adventurers, exiles, conquerors and slaves, CARGO explores the primal urge of humans to leave their country of origin, whether it be for a better life, to escape a past, for a new way of living, or to find... themselves

Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
Given sufficient time, any iron mass, in the presence of water and oxygen, could eventually convert entirely to rust.
The party was here for this group of ladybirds, they were huddled into part of a steel garden frame near some fritillaries. Taken at 1:1 life size using an '80's vintage Tamron 90mm f/2.5 SP manual focus macro lens with its dedicated extension tube attached.

Solomon Temple, Grand Canyon. From Red Canyon, mile 76. The sheer red cliffs are across the Colorado River. The top of this awe-inspiring temple is about halfway between the river and the rim. The temple is Redwall Limestone, no longer red because the iron-rich layers that generally overlie the Redwall have eroded away here. Brittlebush blooming in lower right.

It is ironic to consider that the oldest desert in the world was the birth place of this camel thorn tree. A surreal landscape dominated by dunes whose height and majesty rival that of the Empire State building, a natural rampart so impenetrable it marked the point of no return for the sporadic floods of the river Tscauchab.
Some nine hundred years ago, a stem cracked the soil of this improbable and ephemeral oasis. For several centuries, our tree gradually gained a more elevated perspective on its surroundings observing the exquisite interplay of light, shapes and color, whilst defying the elements, until changing winds eventually formed a sand barrier. Trapped in an Arena of Death, our tree managed to survive on phreatic water for a considerable period until finally the flow of life ceased some 500+ years ago.
One could imagine a slow agony under the eye of a morbid besieger, the trees monument to their own destruction, yet what the desert taketh the desert giveth, the sap of life for life eternal (Bram Stoker style)...how could this landscape be otherwise. The overall conditions and aridity were such that they perfectly preserved these trees, protecting them from any form of decay (bacteria, fungus, insects, etc...). They are not petrified, simply scorched by the sun.
Countless nights of countless stars later, here I stand among these wooden sculptures, timeless totems which complete this sanctuary. Dead Vlei is an iconic place on this planet, profound, beautiful and other worldly. It offers a landscape in permanent metamorphosis, and no one picture will ever manage to capture the essence of it nor to convey, the "spirituality" of the place.
Despite the fact that legions of photographers have completed their pilgrimage here, I feel the potential of the place is barely tapped. The first time I came here, some 8 years ago, I had the pleasure of discovery, I barely knew what to expect. I had the good fortune of being accompanied by an extraordinary guide, very similar in looks and demeanor to Morgan Freeman. I had stopped just short of a zillion times before arriving in Dead Vlei. At 10am, there was virtually no tourist left, he advised my wife and I venture off in separate directions, and also "confiscated" my camera. I will not forget that experience, the silence, although you are unlikely ever to find me without a camera here again. Some six years later the magic had not faded as I returned and I plan to devote significant time in the future to the Namib Desert and the Sossusvlei area in particular.
Please take the time to leave a comment, an impression, a thought, always appreciated.

Never get tired of this amazing place! The orange iron stained granite sand is unique :)
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a landmark in the Central Arid Region of Australia. It is important in Australian Indigenous culture, geologically unique and a popular holiday destination for people from all over the world. It also symbolises the rugged red beauty of much of the Australian wilderness.

At the top of Cockmill Meadow at Worthy Farm, during the first Worthy Pastures weekend, we happened upon the Mutoid Waste scrapyard with discarded sculptures that had been at Shangri-La, The Unfair Ground, and other parts of the Glastonbury Festival site. What a treat!

Shot this at Ardmair just North of Ullapool, on the route of what is now the North Coast 500, before the NC 500 was ever thought of or popular.

I love textures, rust and decay... it really captures my mind, aging in living things too... I have to say decomposition can be a wonderful and bewildering thing...
abstract artwork: mixed media...
have a great weekly end!

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Utah-Arizona state line near the Four Corners area. The valley is a sacred area that lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation, the Native American people of the area. Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West." The elevation of the valley floor ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 feet (1,500 to 1,800 m) above sea level. The floor is largely siltstone of the Cutler Group, or sand derived from it, deposited by the meandering rivers that carved the valley. The valley's vivid red color comes from iron oxide exposed in the weathered siltstone. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get their color from manganese oxide.
Most of the monuments have descriptive English names, said to have been given to them by the pioneers that passed here on their way to points further west. In this case, when these buttes are seen from this angle (south), it's easy to see why they are called "Mittens".
