Here is some seemingly random geology news (in the same vein as the erupting volcano cake) that I’ve had in my “Post to Geology News” folder for quite sometime now.
Photographer Edward Burtynsky has a special series of pictures he’s taken of abandoned rock quarries in the United States. The series is entitled Rock of Ages. There are some very dramatic and impressive pictures in the collection.
