One more of that fabulous place, just because this one was so different being all by itself.

Sunset. Fossil dunes are hardened sand dunes shaped uniquely by desert wind . Though it looks hard these are breakable sandstones which changes its shapes very slowly unlike normal sand dunes. Normal sand dunes moves and changes shapes frequently according to wind.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid ) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes in the desert in dry, hot areas.
Happy new Year to all of you!

Ths has been my 1st attempt for the last macro mondays challenge called "new". It shows a tiny little fossil watch for women in monochrome look. Diameter of the clock face is just 22mm. So you can imagine that this is really a small peace on a womans wrist.
I hope you all had a wonderful start into 2023 and i wish you and your beloved ones all the best. May all your wishes come true and keep healthy !
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Macro Mondays "Spirals"
From Nepal
Fossils are the really, really old remains of a plant or animal — so old they've turned to stone..
Fossils are very important to scientists who study animals: they're one of the ways we learn about the beasts and critters of the past. A fossil is an imprint of the bones of that animal in rock or stone. When we die we become just fossils in the memories of those we leave
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photos.
This is a four photo shot of a fossilized ammonite that has been stitched together. A fairly common fossil, this ammonite was cut in two to reveal the spiral growth of the creature's shell which is visible. The growth cells have filled in with different materials which have become rock over the years - somewhere between 240 - 64 million years ago. Ammonite's became extinct with the dinosaurs.

What could be more tempting, an empty beach, a changeable weather forecast, and a strong wind making things happen. As the season progresses storms denude the beach of it's sand , and the rock strata is more emphasised. It's like walking on pavements of fossils. Fossil Scale is by Georgia Ruth
The fossil was captured in Geological Museum in Poland.
The only geological museum in Poland, where you will see a complete collection of rocks, reflecting the geological structure of the country. The thematic exhibitions allow you to delve into the fascinating world of minerals, crystals and fossils. You can also see a mini exhibition of meteorites, as well as the skulls of our prehistoric ancestors. Take a selfie with a Dilaphosaurus, which lived 200 million years ago in the Polish mountains. A faithful copy of this feathered prehistoric reptile known as Dyzio has a loyal group of fans. However, the biggest impression on visitors is made by the skeletons of animals from the ice age: a mammoth, a large rhinoceros and a hairy bear. And all this for free in the beautiful, somewhat old-fashioned interiors of a building from the beginning of the 20th century.
Looking Close... on Friday: Seashells &/or Snail Shells
(If this is not enough shell I have other options)
Fossil Creek has the most beautiful aqua colored water, incredible waterfalls, and it is quite a hike.
We drove to Camp Verde, and proceeded from there for 21 miles of unpaved, horribly bumpy roads.The ride was worth every minute to see this beautiful place.
For Smile on Saturday's theme "Natural Stones"
I have a few glass bowls at home full of natural stones that I collected in different places. All are associated with moments and places that mean something to me. In a way, they store memories.
The bowl that I used for this photo contains two different collections. Pebbles that I picked up with my boyfriend in a nearby beach early in our relationship, and fossils of Jurassic brachiopods from the limestone hills next to my grandpa's vineyard.
Impressions of plants from the Jurassic era...not really.
Poortmeesters, a housing complex in Delft, with two large (Delft?) blue entrance arches. The ceramic tiles are 3D printed, and designed by Studio RAP.

This spot is known to have been coastline at 7 & 17 million years ago. The fossils are clearly two different ages- the younger ones crumble in your hand.
The diesel powered Class 60 powers past the coal fired Ratcliffe power station with fuel oil for Kingsbury. God Bless Mother Earth.
This is 60019 passing Gateway West Junction with the 0702 Lyndsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sidings.
I’m trawling the archives trying to delete some of the 28k images in LR but keep getting held up editing old ones. This is from the last ice festival in Lake Louise since the pandemic…..hoping it comes back in 2024. It’s by Team Japan, Junichi Nakamura and Shinichi Sawamura.
Hiking the back edge of our property, there are some pretty impressive granite rocks strewn about. This particular rock is around 15' tall with a large chunk broken away. It reminds me of a huge fish with its mouth open. Lol. I named it "fossil fish, rock"
