Rock Steady

Here are some more images from within the Earth Gallery.


A cave has been added here as well.


And I leave off with a selfie; a camera is set up among a section of displays on metamorphic rocks that allows one to metamorph your face. I'll be leaving those photos for a theme day down the line.

  6. My wife would really enjoy this place! In the past we would bring home rocks from all the different areas we traveled...we still have a few, one very nice quartz that graces our front yard. And I'm quite familiar with rocks myself, having been told by teachers in my younger years that my head was full of them!

  9. If I was still teaching science I would take my classes to see the samples of rock. So you're having a very fast metamorphosis.

  10. My heart skips a beat seeing a rock and mineral collection. I think it is the thrill of finding something so beautiful in nature.

  13. When I was growing up in Tucson everyone studied rocks. Arizona has so many beautiful specimens. We could even find great treasures on our many hikes.
    Wonderful post today.

    cheers, parsnip

  16. @Red: the only thing is that the theme day is months away- I look forward to the reactions!

    @Janis: I really like the selection here.

    @Tamago: thanks!

    @Janey: my aunt's a nut for rocks and minerals, so she spent a good deal of time in here when she visited.

    @Parsnip: thank you!

    @Revrunner: they are.

    @Norma: I'm saving the weird ones for the Out Of Focus theme day!

    @Eve: It is rare to catch me with a smile!

  19. The cave is a great idea and I have to agree with Ciel the 'rock' in the first picture is pretty amazing...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I see some amazing rocks in my travels, but never any as fine as museum pieces. If the next to last photo is of a cave, is the last photo of a cave dweller? yeehaw!

  22. Beautiful rocks! Unusual selfie.

  23. Metamorph your face? Autocorrect says that isn't a word.

  24. I especially love your first and last photos, William. :)

  25. The Museum of Nature looks like an amazing and interesting place, perhaps a little like the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. It's easy to spend hours looking at gemstones and crystals.

    @Whisk: thank you.

    @Tammie: very pretty!

    @Geoff: the cave is cool!

    @Pat: I would have to be.

    @Mari: I enjoy it.

    @RedPat: it is well worth the visit.

    @Tex: I do too.

    @Lois: very unusual.

    @Linda: it's a word now!

    @Linda: thanks!

    @Kay: it would be quite similar to that museum.

  27. It's quite popular to have those selfie machines. They had one at the new Aquatarium in Brockville! We love rocks. My daughter we call Rock Girl (M.Sc in hydrogeology!)
