Rogaška Slatina is a town in eastern Slovenia.
It is known for its curative mineral water, spa, and crystal glass.
Rogaška Slatina is a synonym for health-resort tourism in Slovenia. For centuries the curative mineral water rich in magnesium (branded as Donat Mg), the picturesque countryside, and other local attractions have attracted visitors to the area. Roman inscriptions referring to the spa waters have been found.
Stansbury Island is not a popular location, but it does offer some great sunset views.
On the other side of the water, there are some small lights and smoke, that is US Magnesium - the largest producer of magnesium in North America.
Put some magnesium in it this time - hence the white sparks. I'll stop spamming the steel wool soon - just not been out in daylight all that much that's all
Spent the night across the highway at the not so plush rest area in Luning, Nevada. This used to be a magnesium mining town, a few people still live in town.
This is the building next to the other Luning shot of a front porch.

This is phenomena that I found near Osoyoos, BC, Canada. It is a lake located on Indian Reserve, containing highly concentrated deposits of sulphated, magnesium sulfate, calcium, sodium, silver and titanium. During the summer water evaporates from the lake, the salts crystalize, revealing rings of distinct colours. The colour depends on mineral composition and their concentration. A fascinating view of spots everywhere….
Enjoy!

One must always eat tomatoes,
Tomatoes can be attributed to their wealth of nutrients and vitamins, including an impressive amount of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as significant amounts of vitamin B6, folate, and thiamin.
Tomatoes are also a good source of potassium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, and copper.
Have you had your tomato today?
Thirty minutes past sunset provides some beautiful colors on the Great Salt Lake.

Vestrahorn mountain is located on the Stokknes Peninsula, close to the town of Höfn. Unlike most of the mountains in Iceland, it is made out of iron- and magnesium-rich gabbro rock, which leads to its dark and jagged appearance.
Standing separate from the mountains of the nearby Vatnajökull National Park, Vestrahorn is an impressive 454 metres tall. It faces out to the sea on its southern side and is surrounded by a sandy coastline that is often home to seals. Like most stretches of beach in Iceland, the sands here are black due to the island’s volcanism.
Vestrahorn translates to ‘West Mountain’ due to its proximity to the similar Eystrahorn, or ‘East Mountain’.
Mount Washington is a deeply eroded volcano in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Made mostly of mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) volcanic rock like subalkaline basalt and basaltic andesite, it has a volcanic plug occupying its summit cone and numerous dikes.
The wilderness area is not heavily used, though it has a number of hiking trails. Wildlife is sparse in the region. Vegetation is mostly limited to pines and shrubs.
With an elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376 m) above sea level Mount Washington is located in Deschutes and Linn counties.
This image was taken on the east side of the mountain which has a different look than the more popular north side images.
The Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park is one of only two places on the planet where you can see and touch the Earth's mantle. Its rock is full of metals such as iron, magnesium and nickel that are toxic to plants. Only the lower elevations have some scrubby growth where soil has blown in.
Karaca Cave (Turkish: Karaca Mağarası) is a network of caves located near the town of Torul in Gümüşhane Province, Turkey.
In the area extending between Gümüşhane and Torul, there are extensive formations consisting of various types of extrusive, igneous rock, including andesitic and basaltic lavas, tuffs and agglomerates. The total thickness of these deposits reaches 1,000 m (3,300 ft). These igneous strata are interleaved with sedimentary layers, varying in thickness between 100 and 200 m (330 and 660 ft) and consisting of limestone and certain other types of sedimentary rock. The Karaca Cave formed in one of these layers of highly-fissured, massive limestone sandwiched between volcanics.
Karaca Cave is rich in dripstone formations of many different shapes and colours, including stalactites, stalagmites, and travertines. There are also many cave roses located on certain of the travertines and stalagmites.
Some of the dripstone pools are very large - particularly those in the inner parts of the cave, which range up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in depth.
The travertines vary in colour from white to dark blue, revealing the presence of high levels of iron and magnesium minerals in the cave waters.
The cave system is disposed more or less in a level plane and consists of four interconnected caverns. Two of these caverns are further subdivided by 'walls' composed of dripstone, and it could thus be argued that Karaca comprises not four but six chambers.
The height of the cave entrance is about 1.8 m (5.9 ft) - the height of an average man - but, as one moves deeper into the interior increases steadily, the cave opening out into a funnel shape. The cave is roughly 105 m (344 ft) in length, averages 18 m (59 ft) in height and has a total floor area of 1,500 m2 (16,000 sq ft).
There is no stream in Karaca, water percolating through fissures in the roof of the cave being responsible for the formation of the dripstones. Such water as persists within the cave is in the form of various ponds and pools. The ponds at the entrance of the third and fourth caverns contain a considerable volume of water.
There is no significant air circulation in the cave, with the result that the level of humidity in its atmosphere increases from around 65% at the entrance to up to 75% in the cave's interior. The air inside the cave is cooler than that outside it in summertime and warmer in winter. Because of this, it is considered to have a microclimate of its own.
The Karaca Cave has been open to visitors since 1996.
Murray River Pink Salt flakes are produced using the pristine mineralised brines from ancient saline aquifers of the Murray Darling basin. The stunning pale pink hue of the salt flakes is a result of the mineralised brines which are particularly high in magnesium, calcium, and to a lesser degree, potassium and iodine.
Spotted Lake is a small lake rich in a variety of minerals, including calcium, sodium sulphates and magnesium sulphate. During the hot summer months, much of the water in the lake evaporates, leaving concentrations of these minerals that form the spots visible in the lake. Throughout the summer, the spots shift in size and colour as the minerals within each change with further evaporation. Colours ranging from blue to green to yellow appear, depending on the mineral makeup of each individual spot.
Spotted Lake is known to the First Nations People of the Osoyoos area as kłlilx’w, and it is a sacred site that has been considered a revered place of healing for centuries. The belief is that each of the different circles holds its own unique medicinal and healing properties. The land surrounding the lake was privately owned for 40 years, but in 2001 the federal government acquired it for the benefit and uses of the Okanagan Nation. This ensures that this historically important land can be protected from development, so that future generations of the Okanagan Nation will continue to benefit, as did their ancestors.

The Laguna Verde with the Licancabur volcano as a backdrop, and its 5920m altitude.
But let's go back to the lagoon. La Laguna Verde is a saltwater lagoon, located in the Andean highlands. Due to the high concentration of minerals such as magnesium, calcium carbonate and arsenic the waters acquire greenish tones whose hue varies throughout the day.
Unlike most of the lagoons we passed through, from the smallest to the largest, in this lagoon there are no flamingos, no ducks or anything. It's a toxic lagoon.
La laguna Verde (4325 m) est un lac salé de Bolivie situé au sein de la réserve nationale de faune andine Eduardo Avaroa, dans la province de Sud Lípez, département de Potosí.
Ce lac est dominé par la haute silhouette du volcan Licancabúr.
La couleur verte de l'eau de la laguna Verde provient d'une forte concentration de cuivre dans ses sédiments. Son eau contient également d'autres minéraux tels que du magnésium et de l'arsenic

This Yellow Chrysanthemum Plant is a symbol of friendship and cheerfulness!!
`Did you know??~
Chrysanthemum has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years, playing a vital role in Traditional Chinese Medicine and as a delicious and nourishing beverage.
It is believed that it was first cultivated in China in the 15th century BC where it was revered by poets and artists. Chrysanthemums were a symbol of nobility and integrity.
As a herbal tea, it was first brewed and popularized during the Song Dynasty (960 AD - 1279 AD) and for centuries it was used to treat respiratory issues, blood pressure irregularities and to calm the nerves.
Chrysanthemum is packed with vitamins A, B, C and K, beta-carotene, calcium, fiber, iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, sodium, zinc, amino acids, and glycosides.
This blend of components makes this beverage not only tasty, but delightfully good for you as well, and you may drink it to reap a number of benefits.

Mizunara (Quercus crispula) is an oak species dominant in Japanese mountains. It is usually a tall tree but is a shrub on the Happoone ridge due to soil and climatic conditions.
Happoone ridge is made of a rare type of rock called serpentine (蛇紋岩) that occurs in areas affected by tectonic activities. It contains high percentages of iron and magnesium and produces fragile, dry and poor soils that prevent the forest to grow.
Thanks to the serpentine rock, Happoone is an area where you can observe alpine plants at a relatively low altitude at 1,800 - 2,100 m. If you continue climbing Happoone, forests reappear when you go out of the serpentine rock area.
OK, I bought this used Canon 50D in preparedness of my trusty old 20D to die (don't tell it though, it's been a faithful companion for around 17 years, and still clicking away!) Why a 50D you may ask...it's a 2008 camera! Well, for starters, it's 3 generations newer than my 20D, twice the megapixels, has a larger LCD screen in the back, ergonomically it's very identical to the 20D, and it still has that wonderful magnesium alloy body that went away after the 50D. So, I made up my mind that a 50D would be my replacement of choice. And now the great part, it only has around 47xx clicks on the shutter and it cost me a whopping $189 dollars. To look at it, you would say it looks brand new. (bought it from MPB)
Of course, new looking is great, but I had to do some tests with both my fast Tamron lens (above shot) and with my Canon 24-105L. So far, things are looking good!
And BTW, the produce above is from our garden and the larger eggplant in the back was eggplant parmigiana, tonight's dinner!
Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon. More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt. Rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt is chemically equivalent to slow-cooling, coarse-grained gabbro. The eruption of basalt lava is observed by geologists at about 20 volcanoes per year. Basalt is also an important rock type on other planetary bodies in the Solar System. For example, the bulk of the plains of Venus, which cover ~80% of the surface, are basaltic; the lunar maria are plains of flood-basaltic lava flows; and basalt is a common rock on the surface of Mars.
Molten basalt lava has a low viscosity due to its relatively low silica content (between 45% and 52%), resulting in rapidly moving lava flows that can spread over great areas before cooling and solidifying. Flood basalts are thick sequences of many such flows that can cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometres and constitute the most voluminous of all volcanic formations.
Basaltic magmas within Earth are thought to originate from the upper mantle. The chemistry of basalts thus provides clues to processes deep in Earth's interio.

1 year ago this May I visited Newfoundland for my first time. I wanted to do a series of another fascinating place in Newfoundland I've not shared before. Hope you enjoy!
Tablelands Newfoundland
One of only a few places on Earth you can see the Earth's Mantle above ground (Australia and Newfoundland ...) from what I've found. see below links if you are interested. 💛

"The Tablelands plateau
The Tablelands is a plateau rising 700m above sea level. It began 500 million years ago during the formation of the Pangea supercontinent.
At the time, North America, Europe, and Africa joined together, and the ancient ocean, known as Iapetus, began to close. From 10km below the Iapetus ocean floor, the subduction of two tectonic plates pushed up pieces of the Earth’s crust and mantle. Scientists agree that the formation of the Tablelands proves that plate tectonics theory is accurate.
On the surface, pieces of the mantle form a desolate but colorful landscape. There are yellow, orange, red, and sometimes even green and blue rocks. These are mostly peridotite, a snakeskin-type rock called serpentinite, dunite, and pyroxenite. Tableland rocks are high in nickel, magnesium, chromite, iron, cobalt, olivine, clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene. These are some of the oldest rocks on Earth."
----------------------------------
"The Canadian Space Agency has also studied the area to aid in the search for life beyond Earth. Scientists study how microscopic life forms can survive in the iron-rich Tablelands to better understand how they might survive on the extreme environment on Mars."

I've always been amazed at the invention of the flashbulb, I remember being at parties when I was young and seeing expended ones in the ashtrays or people playing hot potato with them trying to que up for the next shot and popping the bulb out before it cooled. I think this screw in model was before my time but when I saw it I knew I had to have it for a shot. At last the Sylvania Flashbulb, No. 40B! As for size, it measures 3.75 in. x 2 in., about the size of a standard light bulb
To create the setting, I glued a metal support rod to the back of the threaded section which I later removed in post. Lighting was all about controlling the reflections and in the end I used one spot directly over the bulb and another over the camera pointing slightly down. I added a sparkle piece of silver paper under the bulb about 10 inches below to kick a little light on the bottom. No flash or flashbulbs were used in the making of this shot.

Majestic and elegant mountains of coral that tower monumentally over the surrounding landscape and yet blush like young lovers at sunset... these are the Pale di San Martino.
Their geologic history starts 300 million years ago: in a calm and shallow sea, huge coral colonies developed to create enormous reefs over a thousand metres high. After surfacing out of the water, these coral reefs were weathered by the elements and shaped into the pointed and sharp structures that mark the landscape today. The name dolomia – engl. Dolomite rock (to be precise, the Pale di San Martino are made of “Dolomia dello Sciliar”) is a homage to Marquis Déodat De Dolomieu, who in 1788, while travelling through our mountains, discovered their chemical composition (the Dolomite rock is a combined calcium and magnesium carbonate). Yet what has always captivated visitors - from 19th century travellers to modern-day tourists - is most of all the Altipiano delle Pale: a stone plateau set at 2700 metres altitude, a lunar and mysterious landscape, fifty square kilometres of bare rock to be discovered.

The 1919 Bentley EXP-2, the actual second Bentley that WO produced. And....drum roll.......it won 11 races outright, and went 2nd 7 times!.
Fresh out of the Royal Air Force a century ago in 1919, W.O. Bentley built three EXP cars to start off his car venture. Using his experience with aircraft engines, he developed a 3.0-liter four-cylinder with aluminum pistons for his cars.
After Autocar tested EXP1, Bentley used his exhibited chassis to build EXP2 into a two-seater sports car, featuring an aluminum body, and an engine with four valves per cylinder, a twin-spark head, twin magnetos, and a few bits of magnesium here and there. As a result, EXP2 made 175 horsepower in its ultimate iteration. Since it weighed just 1500 lbs, it was good for a top speed of 79 miles per hour. In 1921, that was still plenty enough for a victory, as long as a car could stay in one piece throughout the race. Fortunately, Bentley's chassis were the most robust in the business, a hallmark of his, and a factor in his 5 LeMans 24 hour long distance wins, which favor the well engineered and strongly built chassis.

Taraxacum is the name of this common and humble weed called the dandelion that people try to eliminate from grass and garden.
did you know that besides making wishes on the dandelion puff, urinating on it's leaves was an old pregnancy test. If the leaf turned red you were pregnant.
Italians and other Europeans harvest the leaves for salad. The young leaves are tender and less bitter and are filled with iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and several vitamins.
The root can be made into a tea which benefits the liver, high cholesterol and inflammation It contains powerful antioxidents.
Think about that before you contemptuously pull them out of your orderly yards and gardens.
Steetley Magnesite, also known as Hartlepool Magnesia Works and Palliser Works, was located at Hartlepool Headland. The site was left partly demolished and the pier became a big attraction for local fishermen despite being incredibly unsafe and dangerous, a section was then removed to prevent anyone venturing out.
The factory was founded in 1934 for the production of Hydronalium. It operated as magnesite works from 1947 to 1990. The refractory bricks are cooked in kilns at high temperatures up to about 1800 °C in order to create the crystalline magnesium oxide (MgO). The bricks were then used to coat blast furnaces, converters for steelworks and other furnaces, or thanks to their heat storage properties, used as accumulation cores. The remains of three such long kilns can be found in this hall.
