The World’s Most Beautiful Crater Lakes
If you approached the rim of a volcano and looked down into it, you might expect to see a lava pool, but if the volcano previously erupted and then the top of it collapsed into a huge bowl-shaped crater, or caldera, then what you might see when you peer over the rim is a beautiful crater lake. Sometimes the water is acidic and the lake has a bright greenish hue. Other times the water is a cloudy turquoise color, yet other times the lake may appear to be a very deep shade of blue. Crater Lake, Oregon, is one of the most well known, but crater lakes can be found all over the globe. If the volcano has been dormant for a long time, the water can be extremely clear because no river or streams flow into with sediment deposits.

First encounter for me of Sandhill Cranes. This pair where right there when we arrived that day in the Florida Everglades. Had to work fast and it wasn’t ideal for photography, but glad to document the experience. They took off in a stupendous flurry after a few frames, and remained feeding in the shallows all morning, some distance away. The last three show this.

NASA satellite images of the Richat Structure
The Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara and Guelb er Richat, is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara desert of west–central Mauritania near Ouadane. This structure is a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical, 40-km in diameter, dome. The sedimentary rock exposed in this dome range in age from Late Proterozoic within the center of the dome to Ordovician sandstone around its edges.

Amazing mirrored sculptures of humans and animals created by talented Scottish artist Rob Mulholland.
Mirrored life-size figures blend into surrounding environment and reflect the constant flux of movement day by day.
