Iceland’s Iconic "Black Waterfall" - ignore the waterfall... all of those basalt pillars form the illusion of #horizontal overhangs. I know, it's a stretch, but it makes this waterfall a bit more unique and interesting. #waterfall #blueskyartshow #iceland #photos #photography #basalt #longexposure
Black-and-white photograph of smooth volcanic rocks surrounded by dry pine needles with a creeping vine of round leaves draped across them, photographed with a Nikon D5500 and Nikkor DX 18–300mm f/3.5–6.3 VR lens.

Stuðlagil Canyon is one of Iceland’s most striking basalt‑column gorges - revealed when a hydroelectric project lowered the Jökla river. When you think of #flowing you don't think of rocks, but here they are! #blueskyartshow #stuðlagil #canyon #gorge #river #basalt #photos #photography #landscape
#Lava is a mixture of minerals Harriened lava is called #basalt. It usually contains a small number of visible #crystals, as in this piece. See those flecks of green? They're crystals of a mineral called #olivine

Where I was standing on #Reynisfjara beach last May 20, when I took this photo is somewhere under those crashing waves in the video below. Sometimes geological time is very short. #photography #Iceland #basalt

A cut fact of a basaltic pillow with the quenched pillow rind on the left (swiss army knife for scale).
A transmitted light photo of a thin section spanning the pillow rind on the left to the pillow interior. Gas bubbles show as round white patches within the pillow interior. Horizontal field of view 3.5 cm
Hand sample and thin section of a pillow rind and interior from Palaeogene lavas of eastern Baffin island. The solidifying melt continued to exsolve gas bubbles, trapped in the pillow interior by the rind.

A drone photograph shows a winding creek flowing through a winter valley in Basalt, Colorado. The dark water curves gently through the foreground, reflecting tall red sandstone cliffs that rise beyond it. Thin sheets of ice and scattered snow line the creek’s edges, breaking the reflection into irregular shapes. Leafless cottonwood trees form a pale horizontal band along the banks, their light trunks contrasting with the darker brush and water. The cliffs dominate the background, glowing orange and rust in low winter sunlight, with evergreen trees dotting their slopes and ridgelines. Above, a clear blue sky stretches across the frame, slightly deepening toward the top. The image emphasizes quiet balance and endurance: water continuing its slow passage while stone holds its shape, winter suspending both in a brief, steady calm.
"Between Stone and Water"
Late winter light illuminates the orange cliffs giving the illusion of warmth, but the river knows better.

A photo of a waterfall dropping through a cleft in a moss covered cliff face. The clouded sky is visible through a V in the cliff face at top center, with a few trees there. The waterfall drops straight down into a mess of logs and moss covered tree debris. Either side of the falls the rock cliff face is charcoal dark with some upright patterning of basalt lava columns. At lower right a man stands facing the camera in an orange jacket, he looks small next to the waterfall.
For #WaterfallWednesday we're visiting Dry Creek Falls! A popular hike in The Columbia Gorge. It's close to a small town, and is accessed by using a tiny part of the #PCT! My friend Timmy for scale at lower right.

The basalt columns of Reynisfjara. This was actually a magma sil and can extend 30-40m underground. The time between solidifying (1200°C) and columns starting to form (1000°C) took some 45 years #reynisfjara #geology #magmasil #basalt #ijsland #iceland #blacksandbeach
The seastacks South of Vik from a close-by viewpoint next to a geologically very interesting hill. Disclaimer: only go here with calm sea and low tide, always keep your eyes on the water and be prepared to run for higher ground #reynisfjara #blacksandbeach #seastacks #ijsland #iceland #basalt
