Icebergs on Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón in south-east #Iceland, from Feb 2018.
Three small turquoise icebergs on a black sand beach with long exposure making the receding waves have nice white stripes on the beach. Above is grey stormy cloud with a touch of pink sunrise light.

This is the ridiculously cool Stuðlagil (basalt canyon) in east #Iceland, taken on my first ever trip there in July 2020. The water isn't always this colour.
A very turquoise green river comes through a narrow canyon lined with upright basalt columns. Long exposure makes the ugly froth in the middle look nice and smooth.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Ppl are asking about the armadillo so pls. Strap in for a tangent. Because the answer is more complicated than you'd think. (If you don't want to find out if Jesus ever saw an armadillo then you can click off now. The thread is over. This is a prolonged aside due to popular demand.)

it's really fine to make use of formulae the issue isn't form or formula, it's whether they're deployed in a way that engages the reader. the formula in the tweet is recognized by readers, but that doesn't mean it's bankrupt, just that you gotta come at it with style

A very small sampling of the random things I’ve found while ‘beach-combing’ along the Connecticut River this summer. I’m mostly rock-hunting but I’ve found some spiffy early glass and ceramic sherds. I even keep all the modern glass in a big jar. Makes the beach safer and I like all the color!

Awoo! Howling wolf woodburn on basswood with some wood stain on the background. It’s about 9x12. Hopefully will get back to woodburning soon. Once the temperature drops and autumn comes.
Photo of a wood burned basswood round with a realistic howling wolf design. The background is burned in a radial design and stained with a darker mahogany color to emphasize the lighter natural wood colors in the wolf.

Take a minute to really absorb the scale of what you're seeing. This is 'Cueva de los Cristales', the Cave of the Crystals, near the city of Naica in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The crystals are selenite, a type of gypsum. They formed over the last 1 million years. (📷: Javier Trueba, MSF)
A man stands in a cave filled with white crystals, many of them much taller and larger than he is.  The scale is hard to even understand.

From the C&EN article I'm citing below:
"For millennia, conditions within the Cave of Crystals (290 m underground) were perfect for the growth of gypsum crystals, allowing them to grow to their massive size.  Credit: Javier Trueba/MSF/Science Source"

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.
