We visited this unique landscape with mud volcanoes in Buzau Mts., Romania. Here are some more details about this place:
"The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located in the Berca commune in the Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 meters-deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure, resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
The reservation is unique in Romania. The mud volcanoes create a strange lunar landscape, due to the absence of vegetation around the cones. Vegetation is scarce because the soil is very salty, an environmental condition in which few plants can survive." (Wikipedia)

Just a little pattern I saw in the mud while hiking in the Badlands National Park, South Dakota. It was pretty bland until I slid those sliders around and coaxed these cool colors to emerge turning the mud into gold. In the process, I even found some small animal tracks. I hope those little feet did better with the mud than my sneakers did, the mud was a mixture of glue and concrete!

I need to wash my truck. Mud season is here and the snow is finally melting, but there are still big snowbanks at the Sinks parking lot in Logan Canyon, Utah.
Fifth picture of the series Canes & Mud.
(For this time a Self-portrait, evoking ancient past fishermen. A very difficult picture to execute as it got very windy and I had to remain immobile for 30 seconds of exposure)
Magical sunrise in this beautiful place that is the Albufera of Valencia.
The image title is because during the photoshoot, surrounded by all this beauty, calm water, boat, reeds, mud, tranquility, flying birds ... every moment reminded me a lot to the great novel "Cañas y Barro" of the great Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, set in rural Valencia (Albufera) of the early twentieth century, the novel observes and portrays the social reality of the time and place with absolute precision.
Would like to thank this picture to my friend Javier Girbés, which helped me a lot with the location and encouraged me to know this magnificent spot.
On the technical side, say that I only used a screwed ten steps filter combined with a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

This may have been the most full I've ever seen this feature, probably because of the major rains the week before.
It's not a volcano, by the way, just a mud pot - a hot spring with dissolved solids in it.
I like the patterns. I always give mud a look in case there are tracks.

"Why are the elephants orange?" is a question I hear a lot at our zoo. There is a lot, and I mean a lot of red clay, in the area. The elephants have a mud hole in which they can bathe. It helps them cool off on the hot Carolina summer days.

L'hiver les bisons se rapprochent de Mud Volcano pour profiter d'une chaleur venue de la Terre. Ce matin de mi-septembre, la température était déjà de 0°C.

While in Nova Scotia, we passed the mud flats and salt marshes on our walk to Wolfville. It was clearly low tide!

The patterns in the cracked earth looked very similar to the patterns on an old stump. So I decided to merge the two.
This image was taken in Noakhali,Bangladesh. This image signifies the norms. They don't have gas and affording cylinder bottle of gas is also nearly impossible. So people of first world may not familiar with this kind of stove or even if they do they have done this in high school campaign. But this is not campaign, here people have no choice.Here it is life.
The mansions of Antartiko, near the North Macedonian and Albanian borders, are stunning examples of mud-brick vernacular building dating to the heyday of the village in the 19th through early 20th centuries. The population has been in steep decline since WWII, and most of the houses are crumbling into ruins. This house is still occupied, as shown by the smoking upstairs kitchen stovepipe, though the tile roof is beginning to fail.
