Pico del Teide, Tenerife, Islas Canarias
Wenn man Zeit auf Teneriffa verbringt, ist der 3715 m hohe Pico del Teide quasi allgegenwärtig. Das beeindruckende Vulkangebäude hat viele Gesichter, und hat meine fotografische Aufmerksamkeit immer wieder auf sich gezogen.
Obsidian ist ein vulkanisches Gesteinsglas, das durch die schnelle Abkühlung von Lava mit hohem Kieselsäuregehalt, aber geringem Gehalt an Wasser entsteht.
When you spend time on Tenerife, the 3715 m high Pico del Teide is virtually omnipresent. The impressive volcanic edifice has many faces, and has always attracted my photographic attention.
Obsidian is a volcanic rock glass formed by the rapid cooling of lava with a high silica content but low water content.

Twilight begins over the black obsidian flow at Newberry Crater National Volcanic Monument.
The Big Obsidian Flow is Oregon's youngest lava flow. It erupted from Newberry Caldera about 1,300 years ago.
Paulina lake is below and the two mountains in the distance are Mt Bachelor and South Sister.
Having posted three wave photos from the larapuna/Bay of Fires area already, to make it different here's one in black and white.
It looked nearly the same as the others in colour but I was struck by its resemblance to obsidian or black volcanic glass when converted to black and white.
This particular wave is at The Gardens - same break as in the last posting but captured with the 70-200.

this is the inside of a crater, erosion exposed the rocks so clearly. Location: next to highway 395 near Mammoth

Thank you so much for your views, favs, and encouragement...
Obsidian Creek meanders through a meadow along the Grand Loop Road, golden reflections of early morning light, dew moistens the grass sprinkled with little purple flowers, no sound except for an occasional car in the distance, the peaceful scene evoking strong feelings of hope, gratitude, and peace for another new day.

Playing with the Coal Harbor skyline. Same building as in the previous shot.
Sometimes I fix lens distortion on skyscrapers, and sometimes not. The left shows the new Vancouver Convention Center, almost complete now.
The original photo was shot through the window a float plane.
A volcanic glass; this one (from Lipari, north of Sicily) is deeply black and slightly translucent. A wonderful material that, like flint, can be chipped or knapped into extremely sharp blades, spear points or arrowheads. It has been used already by Homo Erectus and also Homo Sapiens cherished it right up to the Bronze Age. 7Artisans lens at F16 plus a 16mm macro extension tube.
Two most mysterious characters in the reboot of the JSA, in my opinion. Obsidian is in his shadowed form, because I'm lazy and haven't made a fig for him yet, and with a bit of photoshop I turned some studs around Sandman into smoke.
Getting to the top of this dome has been on my bucket list for a while. The dome is located a couple of miles off of Highway 395 in the Eastern Sierras. I drove my truck about two miles on a dirt road to get to the trail that leads to the top of the dome. The black pile of rocks in this picture is all obsidian. The dome is about 300 feet tall and about a mile across.
I first heard about the dome from a fellow teacher that likes the outdoors like me. The geology fit with what we taught in science and I thought it would be cool to bring back a couple of the rocks to share with my students. Unfortunately, I'm retired now but I do get to check this off of my bucket list. And of course, I did take back a couple of samples to prove I made it.
Not quite so skulking a warbler as the mourning, the Canada Warbler (Wilsonia canadensis) tends to hang out six feet off the ground or lower. There, it is a highly effective catcher of flies. So much so, in fact, that it was once called the Canada Flycatching Warbler! With their stark black necklaces against their yellow breasts, male Canada warblers are sights to behold, and they are a species of the north's boreal forests, where more than 60% of their population are thought to breed. Adorably and often in sphagnum hummocks, their nests are typically within 6" of the ground...or on it!
This is a piece of obsidian from my sister's rock collection. As kids, we used to collect a lot of Apache Tears, so obsidian has always been very interesting to me with its level of translucency when held up to the light.
I was hoping to showcase some of the fine, beautiful details within obsidian that are caused by its creation: magma cooled so rapidly it doesn't have a chance to form crystals - at least large ones - as seen in other igneous rocks that slowly cooled such as granite or diorite.
At only 1300 years old, the Big Obsidian Flow is the youngest lava flow known to exist in the state of Oregon. This is in the high desert plains area in the middle of the state within the Newberry Caldera.

Big kitty made out of pure obsidian. Still likes pets.
Head build inspired by Likus/Logey Bear's Muaka revamp.
This is an unusual Dahlia that we saw in the gardens of Forde Abbey and Gardens.
Forde Abbey is a privately owned former Cistercian monastery in Dorset, England, with a postal address in Chard, Somerset. The house and gardens are run as a tourist attraction while the 1,600-acre estate is farmed to provide additional revenue. Forde Abbey is a Grade I listed building.
