Santiago Island has the biggest and longest lava flow, which is located in Sullivan Bay. Geologically speaking, this island is one of the most beautiful and unbelievable formations. The vast basaltic landscape performs smooth and unbroken surfaces with undulations and nods formed by the fluid lava that created the sculpture. It is located on the central west of the archipelago and is formed by two overlapping volcanoes. It is the 4th biggest of the Galapagos archipelago.
The rugged Tablelands in western Newfoundland is one of only two sites on the planet where the Earth's mantle has been pushed through the crust. The peridotite rock has weathered and oxidized due to the iron content and glows in the morning light painting the village of Woody Point. I captured this from a lookout across the bay at Norris Point.
Do you remember the first time?
Time stopped then sped so fast
In just three minutes you were mine
Don't think that it was the last
You knew I knew the ways
That I could make you say
Please, please please don't take it
Take it, take it, take it easy on me, just make it
Make it, make it, make it harder to breathe
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Till I make you forget who you are and just feel
Do you remember your last look?
Well, you were smiling and drowning and
I knew exactly what it took
To make you beg and pray
Please, please, please don't take it
Take it, take it, take it easy on me, just make it
Make it, make it, make it harder to breathe
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Till I make you forget who you are
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Till I make you forget who you are
And just feel and play with me
And just steal away with me
So just feel and play with me
Take it, take it, take it easy on me, just make it
Make it, make it, make it harder to breathe
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Till I make you forget who you are
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Till I make you forget who you are
So I'll climb on top and I'll never stop
Forget who you are

The gorgeous colors in this canyon is a result of 'hydrothermal alteration'. The rhyolite contains different iron compounds. It's amazing how the exposure to the elements has caused the rocks to change colors. On wikipedia it says that the rocks are oxidizing, in effect, rusting. The colors indicate the presence or absence of water in the individual iron compounds. Most of the yellows in the canyon are the result of iron present in the rock rather than, as many people think, sulfur.
Image of the full moon rising left of the HMQS gayundah wreck at Woody Point, Qld. This is how the wreck looks after its bow collapsed, it is definitely not very good looking now, especially at low tide, but I liked the colours of the oxidized metal with this light and the blue tones of the sunset.
This photo is the result of combining two separate images, one for the moon and the other for the foreground and sky.
The brownish red patches on the side of Dundee Mountain just north of the ghost town of Kirwin in Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming are areas were the iron bearing minerals in the volcanic rocks have been oxidized. This can be an indication that hydrothermal fluids have moved through the rock and deposited ore minerals resulting in mineralized areas. Prospectors often look for “color” which indicates the oxidation of iron minerals like pyrite which often occur in association with the ore minerals. There are several zones of oxidation and mineralization within the Kerwin area like the one here seen on the side of the mountain.

Crocoite
Adelaide Mine, Dundas District, Tasmania
Crocoite (PbCrO₄) is a rare, vibrant red-orange lead chromate mineral known for its striking prismatic crystals, prized by collectors for its beauty and historically significant for leading to the discovery of the element chromium by Louis Nicholas Vauquelin in 1797; it's found in oxidized lead veins, notably from Dundas, Tasmania.
I work in a ship. On a ship rust and de rust is a continuous process. Sea water has salt, Oxygen is in the air and Iron is what a ship made of. When I saw the theme “Rust” in Macro Monday I got happy and thought I can show a lot to you all. Because I live in between the rust, Rust is everywhere and everyday it is taken care of. A lot of money spent every day to get rid of the rust. I really got confused what to show you MM friends. Finally I had to choose one and here it is . It is a wasted non repairable handle of a trolley. It’s the real Rust grown over time in nature. Background blue is the real ocean. HMM ! To all .
....to oxidize or not oxidize???? hmmm.....

Parc Ribalta
Castelló de La Plana (Spain).
Arches National Park near Moab, Utah features many arched sandstone formations. Most of the sandstone is a rusty red due to highly oxidized iron (rust). We saw this and thought "some giant was playing with Play Dough”.
an oxidized door handle dug up in our garden and left alone for one year. An eroded piece of wood, left idle for same time.
This week combined into "Access".
The chemical reaction of the iron in this old wire brush and oxygen in the environment produced this colorful iron oxide (rust) abstract.

It's been a relatively quiet photography year for me; work was busy (we bought Flickr after-all!), I got wrapped up in other life and travels and just didn't have much photo inspiration as some previous years. So when Willie asked me if I wanted to do a crazy day trip to Lassen National Park, I was absolutely in. By crazy I mean our intention was to drive 6.5 hours north to Lassen, hike to the top of a volcano, take sunset photos, then drive back another 6.5 hours all in one day!
We left early in the morning (Willie drove for once! At least for the first few hours), stopped for lunch, and made it to the north end of Lassen with plenty of time before sunset. We had read that the hike to the top of the "Cinder Cone" was going to be grueling, but having been working out a lot, I figured it "wouldn't be too bad." The hike is only about a mile but it's basically straight up 800 feet (you should see the elevation chart my phone recorded). To make it worse, we were walking up volcanic sand (aka "loose scoria"), so every 2 steps forward is one step back. With a ton of heavy lenses in our backpacks it was a grueling crawl: we'd walk 100 steps and then take a break ... 100 steps and take a break ... 100 steps.... but as "old" as we are, we made it up in record time!
Lassen Volcanic National Park is exactly as the name sounds: volcanic. Though the Volcanoes aren't active, they have left their mark on the landscape. The area before you, known as The Painted Dunes, formed when layers of oxidized ash formed into pumice fields after falling on top of lava flows that were still hot. It creates this area of crazy color, shape, and now new growth.
We had seen photos from several other photographers, particularly Brian Rueb, and been inspired by the shapes and light they captured. Though we had some ideas in mind, that all went out the window when we got to the top of the Cinder Cone and realized how many different scenes there were. Though I had initially intended to wait till the sun had completely dropped behind the hills, my favorite photos from this trip were ones like this, where the last touches of light hit the top of the growing trees and cast this amazing glow. The purple and pink cast of the setting sun contrasts well with the green and yellow tips of the trees. I know I'll be back here at some point, though hopefully with a little less weigh on my backpack next time!

Rode O (Red Island), off the coast of Milne Land in Rodefjord provides a striking contrast to the muted colours of the rest of the area (see the background). It is composed of red sandstone conglomerates with brown-green intrusions of volcanic basaltic rocks. The rocks were formed over 300 million years ago (Carboniferous/Permian period) by erosion of the Caledonian mountain chain and then deposited as sediments. The iron-rich sedimentary rocks get their red colour from oxidized iron.

Many months earlier Willie had asked me if I wanted to check out Lassen National Park. It was one of the California parks that I had never been to and we had seen photos of the Painted Dunes from some amazing photographers like Brian Rueb, so I immediately said "YES"! It didn't seem worth getting a hotel for just a few hours so we made the (crazy) decision to drive 12 hours round-trip, all in one day.
The hike up the Cinder Cone is *grueling*. It's basically straight up an 800 foot ancient volcano and since the ground is volcanic sand called "loose scoria", it's basically 1 step back for every 2 steps forward. I'd count 100 steps then call for a break, and then we'd repeat until we were at the top. Once there, the views of the "Painted Dunes" were spectacular! Created from layers of oxidized ash falling on top of still hot lava flows, the colors in this area are just stunning.
Just as the sun was dipping below the mountains, the scene became even more gorgeous. The tips of the trees turned golden yellow and the colors of the dunes started to glow pink and purple and orange. We ran around like crazy people trying to photograph all the different spots of the dunes with the different trees and shapes and patterns. After the hike down we made it back to home without falling asleep on the 6 hour car ride!
