if you get a chance.....while I'm gone I'd love it if you could answer these questions to help me improve:
-What is one thing that you like about my photography?
-What is one way I can improve?
-what is one thing I that would benefit me to learn?
-and any other comments you have!
Thanks!
For "Smile on Saturdays" and this week's theme: "Tasty Texture."
The texture of a torn hamburger bun. Mighty tasty, too!
Caliche, a type of sedimentary rock, forms when calcium carbonate precipitates in the soil, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This formation process begins as rainwater infiltrates the soil, dissolving carbonate minerals present. As the water evaporates, these minerals precipitate, cementing particles such as sand, clay, and gravel to create a hard, durable layer.
In Ajuy, particularly near the Hornos de Cal, caliche is significantly prominent. These formations result from the interplay of local climatic and geological conditions. Despite its hardness, caliche is prone to erosion. Elements like wind, water, and human activity wear down these layers, forming unique patterns and textures and sometimes exposing softer soil underneath.
The caliche in Ajuy ranges in color from white to light brown, contrasting sharply with the dark basaltic rocks and black sands of the nearby beaches. These layers can also create microhabitats, providing shelter to small organisms and aiding in soil moisture retention, crucial in Fuerteventura's arid environment.
Erosion of the caliche near the path to the Cuevas de Ajuy, especially around the Hornos de Cal area, is a continuous process that enhances the unique landscape and reveals the area's rich geological history.

El caliche es una roca sedimentaria que se forma por la precipitación de carbonato de calcio en el suelo, especialmente en regiones áridas y semiáridas. Este proceso comienza cuando el agua de lluvia se infiltra en el suelo y disuelve los minerales carbonatados presentes. A medida que el agua se evapora, los minerales se precipitan y cementan partículas como arena, arcilla y grava, creando una capa dura y resistente.
En Ajuy, cerca de los Hornos de Cal, el caliche se presenta de manera notable. Estas formaciones son resultado de la combinación de las condiciones climáticas y geológicas locales. A pesar de ser una roca dura, el caliche es susceptible a la erosión. Los agentes erosivos como el viento, el agua y la acción humana desgastan estas formaciones, creando patrones y texturas únicos y, en algunos casos, exponiendo secciones del suelo más blando.
El caliche en Ajuy varía en color desde el blanco al marrón claro, contrastando con las rocas basálticas oscuras y la arena negra de las playas cercanas. Estas capas de caliche también pueden servir como microhábitats, proporcionando refugio a pequeños organismos y ayudando a retener la humedad en el suelo, lo cual es crucial en el entorno árido de Fuerteventura.
La erosión del caliche cerca del sendero a las Cuevas de Ajuy, particularmente en la zona de los Hornos de Cal, es un proceso continuo que añade al paisaje su carácter único y revela la rica historia geológica de la región.

Autumn grasses are so lovely blowing in the cool breezes. I really liked the shape and texture of this planting. Yeap, I'm out running around at night again!! Such fun!! LOL
I shot this last May in Carrabelle Florida. Sometime in the night the Pirates Sons left to go shrimping and I didn’t see her for a couple of days. I can’t say much about the processing except I used Photoshop and there is a little bit of everything in this one.

On my solo walk on the FLICKRPHOTOWALK I was lucky enough to find lots of textures in a famous castle called Marsvinsholms slott here in Ystad, Skåne, Sweden.
This caught my eye particularly since everything was an old kind of lamp with beautiful details, like these braids. You can see they are old but at the same time so well kept.
I´m wishing you all a HMM!!!
Explored!
another from the altamont hills with a bit of orton and textures tossed about ... i feel like my life has been tossed about too, lately, but i'll try and get caught up soon ...
have a great weekend!
