We took a walk along a "new" dirt road that was cut out from the mountain behind it. They had a mud slide this past season and the mud line up the wall is how much they had to shovel away to get out of the house.

A mud volcano in Azerbaijan, as viewed from above.
Could be any scale, but is actually only a foot or so across. The dark specks in the crater are oil that comes up naturally with the mud frm kilometres down.
Incidentally, there seems to be a strange ecology associated with craters. Bacteria feeds on the oil, some small flies then feed on the bacteria, and in turn spiders feed on the flies. But when you first look at them all you notice is the hoardes of identical spiders in and around the crater rim.

If there's one thing that makes the Mickey Basin attractive to a photographer, it's texture. Whether it's the tiled salt flats, the naked contours of the surrounding hills, or the eroding mounds of mud, it's all very fascinating to me. The ground here is constantly in flux, a slowly shifting kaleidoscope of cracks and topography.
I took a series of photos of the eroding mud knowing that I'd end up converting them to black & white. I struggled to find the right look at first, but with a little help from Nik software I managed to get the aesthetic I was hoping for: a little dark, a little moody, almost Lynch-esque. But also something that might be able to pass for satellite imagery from another planet. Hope you like them.
August feels the aftershock of Tough Mudder success, and a bit of extra potassium.
