the fissure in the sunset bokeh ball reminds me of the fissure in humanity. strangely, in a time of global pandemic, compassion is lacking. interdependence is ignored. we humans are complex!
yet this image also reminds me of what’s good in the world: connection, light, beauty, vulnerability, strength, and kindness. it’s in these bursting flowers. it’s in us, too.
Taken in early October, leaves littering the rock face of the lower section of Toms Branch Falls in Deep Creek. This is perhaps one of the easiest waterfalls to access in Western North Carolina, and in parts one of the more scenic. The face beneath the running water over grown with moss, cracks in the rock face from centuries, perhaps even millennia of water freezing in the deep winter, creating fissures, creating intrigue. The added light, and high contrast scene painting a picture of time standing still, you can almost hear the water rolling, smell the fall leaves not yet washed away, feel the spray over your face and hands even as the temperatures begin to drop. This is why we really love fall, and yet yearn for spring.

Conditions for limestone pavements are created when an advancing glacier scrapes away overburden and exposes horizontally bedded limestone, with subsequent glacial retreat leaving behind a flat, bare surface. Limestone is slightly soluble in water and especially in acid rain, so corrosive drainage along joints and cracks in the limestone can produce slabs called clints isolated by deep fissures called grikes or grykes[2] (terms derived from a northern English dialect).

Quand la fissure de la banquise rejoint le ciel pour faire qu'un.
(C'est le moment de l'année qu'il faut être prudent sur le bord du fleuve. Je savais que la marée était montante donc je n'avais pas d'inquiétude à ce que la banquise cède sous moi.)
I was going to call this "in the groove", but the more I looked at it and the numerous fissures in this limestone pavement, I thought "points failure" was more apt!
This is actually the "lone tree" at Malham which appears to be sadly dying of "ash dieback" like many other trees up here in the Dales.
I was hoping for a decent sunset, but it didn't really happen. The light at this point about 30 minutes before sunset was pretty good though and brought out some nice detail and textures.
Try saying that after a few of your favourite tipples!
This was stark reminder of how hardy these ferns are as they seemingly thrive in the harsh Karst Limestone landscape on the Gait Barrows, near Silverdale in North Lancashire.
I spent a few hours rambling around the incredible Limestone Barrows here and I must have sat for at least 90 minutes waiting for the forecast "sunny spells" to arrive, before finally packing up. It was as grey as an "Elephants Ear" as I waited to take a shot of a lone pine tree emerging from a slab of Carboniferous Limestone. It would have looked great with a bit of sunshine, but hey that can wait for another day.
The bare Karst Limestone landscape here is very different to any of the other areas up here in the North of England. The surface is incredibly resistant to erosion and the fissures are far less frequent and very narrow. I will post a few more shots in due course and I will get back to the location when we get some decent weather.

A damaged 35mm house reel. Though fairly sturdy, these reels were not totally abuse-proof and would bend if dropped or handled roughly. When things go especially bad, well, the picture could tell a story.
I originally did not have this reel in mind for the theme at its original time, and I was stuck in another creativity rut. By time I thought of it, it was too late to get the photoshoot going.

An erupting fissure at Meradalir. The eruption started on 3 Aug 2022, but activity then stopped after some 18 days. The eruption was a continuation of the eruption in Geldingadalir in 2021, which lasted some 6 months. It is most likely that volcanic activity will continue in this area, although scientists don't know if the next phase will start after some weeks, months or years.
Grænavatn (Green Lake) on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland occupies a crater created by a maar type volcanic explosions that occured along fissures in the Krýsuvík volcanic system over 6000 years old. A maar is formed by one or more underground explosions that occur when hot magma comes into contact with shallow ground water to produce a violent steam explosion. These explosions pulverise the overlying rocks and erupt them into the air along with steam, water, ash and magmatic material. The materials usually travel straight up into the air and fall back to Earth to form the tephra deposits that surround the crater.
On the far side of the lake, Hverafjall (a hill of altered volcanic rock on the horizon to the left) and Miðdegishnúkur (the ridge on the horizon in the center of the photo) rise above the rift valley.
The silo and barn in the left center of the photo on the far side of the lake are relics from an abandoned agricultural project started in 1949. There were farms in the Krísuvík area since the early settlers came to Iceland around 870 AD. till 1945. After the eruption in the 12th century lava forced farming operations to be moved. The farm had a reputation for being very rich till the end of the 19th century. Agriculural productivity decreased. The short lived 1949 venture was the last agricultural project in the area.
The lake, Grænavatn, got its its name from its green color. As seen in the photo the edges of lake are green due to thermal algae and sulfur crystals in the water which absorb the sun. The lake lies just a few kilometers south of the Geothermal area Seltún. Grænavatn is one crater in rows of craters that generally trend SW-NE along fissures. The crater rows lie in the Krísuvík Volcano which is a system of eruptive fissures, craters and small basalt shields.
