Any ideas?? Should I be worried? Drimnagh, Dublin [yesterday].
What seem like abstract landscape portraits are actually naturally occurring patterns in a variety of the Chalcedony gemstone (composed of finely grained quartz) known, understandably as ‘landscape agate’.
Ik Kil – one of a semicircle of cenotes (sinkholes) around the vast crater (only discovered in 1978) formed by the ancient impact of an asteroid on the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico.
Lost Lake in Oregon’s Mount Hood National Forest is something of a local conundrum. Filled by mountain streams during Winter, the lake drains down a lava tube, emptying like a bathtub every Spring.
The water is thought to simply disappear into the porous volcanic substrate.
Any attempt to plug the hole would likely result in local flooding, cutting off the nearby intersection of two major highways.
This just fin.
The Grand Canal at Portobello, this morning.

After a recent photoshoot in Glendalough at sunrise, which you can see here, we had some spare time and shot some filler scenes around Glendalough. For fun we added the Jurassic park theme to the video and it turned out way better than we expected. I give you “Glendalough Park”. You can almost see the Dinosaurs!
Yikes!
