💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🏜️🌊 #AntelopeCanyon is described by #Navajo Medicine Man Adair Klopfenstein as the breathing holes of the #earth where the winds reside.

These slot #canyons form over tens of thousands of years as turbulent #water and #sand carve through the #landscape. #Geology professor Dr. Kelin Whipple explains how flash floods transport boulders and create vortices that cut deep into the earth.

The raw power of Bizkaia’s coast 🌊
There’s something about the way the sea hammers these rocks that makes you feel small in the best way. The spray, the crash, the relentless rhythm - it’s nature’s way of reminding you who’s really in charge. No filters, no tricks. Just the Basque Country at its wildest.
The stormy skies, the salt in the air, the way the cliffs stand defiant against the waves. One of those places that makes you pause and just listen.
Our tees handle this terrain - organic cotton, built for wandering. AdventureDoesNotWait.com
Into stormy coastlines or calm coves?
📍 Bizkaia, Basque Country, Spain

🧲☄️ Researchers at the University of #Colorado #Boulder suggest that powerful magnets could provide a way to redirect #asteroids without touching them.

By using a #spacecraft to generate a magnetic field, scientists could nudge metallic #space #rocks into safer orbits. The method offers a more controlled alternative to physically crashing probes into asteroids.

Tectonic Wall

A pretty famous geotope in the Allgäuer Alps with extreme folds and layering. The hundreds of meters thick top layer of mostly Dolomite belongs to the Lech valley thrust sheet (215 million years old) which got pushed above the Allgäu sheet below (190 million years old, here mostly covered by overgrown talus fields) and Radiolarite from the Ruhpolding formation even further below (160 million years old and originally 2000 meter below sea level — hard to imagine!).

After He's Gone.

(Chosen for #TextureTuesday, but also as addendum for the recent #WorldDayOfGlaciers...)

"He" is referring here to the Gepatschferner (masculine in German), one of the once largest glaciers in the central Alps (and still Austria's 2nd largest), but so severely reduced by now and for at least 10 years the fastest shrinking glacier in Austria, losing up to ~120 meters (360 feet) per year!

Walking in terrain like this is an incredibly moving experience, even if visually stunning!

A machine cut into the rock, bit off a slice, spat it out and left, leaving pyramids and flowers behind.

I discovered this surreal place accidentally. The rock looks like a giant cake, the slabs tower on top of each other as if aliens had been building a tower in the middle of the wilderness but then abandoned the site. Wild daffodils grow from cracks and ridges in such quantities as if an ancient god was passing by and sneezing flowers.

The place also inspired me to write this tanka (a Japanese poetry style):

Biting into rocks
Helping itself to a slice
Letting go, leaving
Daffodils blossom in peace
A failed stab at destruction

I'm all about analog, but down this grotto my daylight cameras with ISO 200 film were pretty useless. So I used my phone to capture this breathtaking otherworld.

This is "La Merveilleuse", the (highly underrated) grotto of Dinant (Belgium).

Those who came before us moved rocks to turn them into stairs which we still use while taking pictures with tiny glossy bricks. Had we met today, we would be aliens to each other, and yet we still use the same paths.
