Foreground: Javelina Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Near Middle (conical black hills left and right): Basalt and other mafic composition intrusive rocks (Oligocene to Eocene)
Far Middle (below the terrace line): Aguja Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Distance (Maverick Mountain): Rhyolitic and other felsic composition intrusive rocks (Oligocene to Eocene)
Cretaceous formations in Big Bend National Park record a transition from a warm shallow sea through tropical coastal swamps to a drier floodplain environment. Lower Cretaceous formations (not exposed here) include limestones and other marine deposits that contain fossils of the mighty mosasaur, a forty-foot long air-breathing marine lizard, and the monstrous eighteen-foot long fish, Xiphactinus. Alongside these “monsters of the sea” lived ammonites, turtles, sharks, sea urchins, oysters, and snails.
By the time the Aguja Formation was being deposited in upper Cretaceous times, the sea had nearly drained away, creating a tropical coastline with many shoreline advances and retreats, and a coastal environment that varied from beaches, river deltas, and estuaries to coastal swamps and marshlands. As a result, the Aguja Formation contains a variety of rock types ranging from sandstones and mudstones to coal beds. Because of the extremely variable environment, fossils include petrified woods; invertebrates such as bivalves, gastropods (snails), and cephalopods (octopuses, squids, ammonites, and belemnites); vertebrates such as sharks, fish, turtles, nearly 70 species of dinosaurs and the gigantic alligatoroid, Deinosuchus, as well as rare small mammal teeth.
Still later, when the Javelina Formation was being deposited at the end of the Cretaceous conditions had continued to progress to a drier floodplain environment. Numerous species of plants, including cypress, laurel, conifers, and mangroves have been preserved as fossils in the Javelina Formation, as well as over 20 species of dinosaurs, including those who ruled the earth at the time of the great extinction.

I call this one The Snail Parade. If you look closely you will see some snails making their way up these wild flowers. I also have to admit this was a tough one for me. I've done this by accident before, but never planned. The challenge certainly did challenge me! LOL!
This picture is taking part in the 2009 Photo Challenge Group.
The the number one place for challenging yourself to take your photography to the next level.

In the foreground is the Slaughter Stone. The Slaughter Stone is a sarsen which is stained red due to rain acting on the iron in it. The Slaughter Stone is a misnomer, a name associated with the mythos of a site, and there is no evidence that the stone was used as a sacrificial tablet.

Assignment 6. This is version 1, I need to reshoot to get the foreground right, the monkey hand is behind the cutout I made of the painting.
This image was inspired by the painting 'The Death of Chatterton', by Henry Wallis (commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Henry_Wallis_-_Chatterton...) and The Pixies song (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALjSXspCpko&feature=fvst). With thanks to T15JTW for lending the monkey.
I printed out 2 copies of the painting one with a 10% reduction which I cut out to make the foreground chest & coat. I used some material scraps to make the bed and pillow and arranged the monkey in a suitably tragic pose. I used a torch and home-made snoot to create the effect of light coming through the 'windows'. It was fun to shoot :)
In the foreground, the site of the former Bleicher's Drugstore. At left across 45th Street in the distance, the neighborhood newstand I mentioned previously. Right background: the former St. Cecelia's Church, demolished in 1973. It attached to the rectory where that light-color brick wall is; for years, the second-floor connecting door sat exposed and blocked by three nailed horizontal two-by-fours.
One of several shots I took of the northwest side of the canyon with a yucca plant in the foreground.
The base in the foreground was from a busted up Eames wire frame chair.
However, I found this Eames Lounger in the trash a while back at my old at my old spot. I couldn't believe the absolute destruction enacted upon this once beautiful lounger. I can only guess this was a spiteful gesture towards owner...possibly a lover quarrel.
"I'll fix that @*^%!$-%^@*?%!!!! I trash the one thing they truly love more than me. That damned Eames chair!!!!
Oh the horror. Where is the humanity : (.
And you may ask, Why in the world did he bring this raggedy ass thing home". Well, it started as a child. I was always picking up curious objects off the ground...it drove my mother bonkers as well as a few girlfriends.
In my deepest of desires I hope to resurrect this piece. Not into its former self. Maybe I can create something new using the broken bits, yet maintaining its soul.
A FRANKENCHAIR!!!! Muahahahahahah!!!
NOTE: A spastic nod to my good friend Jackie for the corny theatrics. Give my Razzie dammit!
apparently, according to the experts, great landscapes need foreground interest.
.... here is my summation of what experts think, pasty gut provided by myself naturally.
Puffin (Lundi; Fratercula arctica) with its prey. Picture taken in the island of Hafnarhólmi, Borgarfjörður eystri. Eastern Fjords (Austfjörðum). Iceland.
It is one of the biggest colonies of these amazing birds in Iceland (10.000 - 15.000 pairs).

87/365CY.... Realizing my predicament of no photo for the prompt, I shot my red PT in the 'foreground' of the local community center where I had been in classes all afternoon. It was in shadow, but that turquoise sky was amazing.
Foreground erupting feature projecting into river = Mortar Geyser
Background erupting feature = Fan Geyser
-----------------------
Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Fan and Mortar Geysers are major features in the Morning Glory Group of Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin. They are located on the northeastern bank of the Firehole River, downstream from Riverside Geyser. Mortar Geyser is just upstream from Fan Geyser. Mortar is an eroding cone-type geyser with three principal vents: Upper Vent, Lower Vent, and Bottom Vent (= formerly Arch Vent). Fan Geyser is also a cone-type geyser and consists of a series of vents oriented along a northeast-southwest fracture zone that goes through nearby Spiteful Geyser. From southwest to northeast, the principal vents of Fan Geyser are: River Vent, High Vent, Gold Vent, Angle Vent, Main Vent, and East Vent.
Fan Geyser is the more active of the two features. Eruptive activity at Fan currently takes several forms: "garbage", regular cycles, event cycles, and (major) eruptions. "Garbage" refers to disorganized low spouting from Fan's various vents. Regular cycles involve organized low spouting and splashing that starts with River Vent, progresses to High Vent and Gold Vent, and continues to Angle Vent. Eventually, the low spouting ends. Event cycles are characterized by slightly more unusual activity, including one or more pauses and resumptions in River Vent’s erupting, more energetic and higher spouting from High Vent, Gold Vent, and Angle Vent, and small splashing in the Main Vent. Major eruptions of Fan Geyser are almost always in concert with nearby Mortar Geyser (there have been exceptions in the past). Eruptions occur after an energetic event cycle and involve high spouting from East Vent, Main Vent, and all other vents. Eruption columns extend in various directions, resulting in a fan-like spray. Spouting often reaches the trail or past the trail. Eruptions are about 30 to 40 minutes in duration, and include one or more relatively brief pauses.

The eternal flame burns in the foreground as members of the DoD STARBASE Los Alamitos youth rocketry team, visit the gravesite of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, May 19, 2019, at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. In 1961, Kennedy declared that the U.S. would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Team members learned about Kennedy and his role in space exploration while designing their entry in the 2019 Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC). This year's contest specifications were designed to honor the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and man's first landing on the moon. The team traveled from Southern California to the east coast to compete in the TARC National Finals Fly Off and were able to explore some of the history surrounding the Apollo missions during the trip. STARBASE Los Alamitos is one of two science, technology, engineering and math focused DoD STARBASE sites facilitated by the California National Guard.

Michael Martin, 17, and his brother Tim Austin, 29, met eachother at the
Olathe, Kansas City Park on March 7, 2010, after not seeing each other for 2 years.
A trip to Craignethan Castle, Lanarkshire. The last great castle of the middle ages in Scotland.
Built in the 1530s by James Hamilton of Finnart, Bastard of Arran, Steward of the Royal Household and Master of Works to King James V of Scotland. He had travelled in Italy, and it shows.
Take on another shift
Palms in the middle, hands in the middle
Work out another rift
Something is muffled, another juggle
This is a foreground
It is a foreground
A cross country miss
Take direction, can’t connect it
I’m afraid this is
Ten detected, nine in a wreck and…
A little jetty fight
Pattern evolving, motion insolvent
Something about this might
Take all evening,
I’ll just be cleaning
This is a foreground
