Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

Edit: Hoi peeps!! We love all these photos and this post got WAY more popular than expected haha! We’re wanting to reply to everyone, but it’s gonna take some time - so we’re not ignoring you and if we accidentally miss you aaaaa we’re sorry (there’s just so much @w@)! Thank you again everyone, this has been lovely seeing all these cool af pics!! :D

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

    This is called pedastalling. It's also what happens when hoodoos form, just on a larger scale.

    We watch for this as an erosion indicator in environmental assessments

    Right on, thanks for naming it! I typically work with subsurface geology, so not quite as well versed in surficial stuff. I remember the basics from sed/strat and geomorphology classes in college. It's been a few years since haha

    We have amazing hoodoos here in Utah. Went to goblin valley last year (where Galexy quest was filmed with the crazy rock fighting arena, it's real). The hoodoos there are phenomenal.

    Water does really cool things. In this case, a relativity vertically falling rain will be deflected by the rocks, and the sand and other sediment around the rocks will be washed away. Here's a more zoomed out photo of the area altr
