remember that colorado trip?

[twoeleven]

so, way back in the end of last october, i visited randomdreams and threemeninaboat. as i'm wont to do, i took far too many pictures.



there were rocks that should not be, like this bit of silver bonsai:

and this bit of aragonite, which looks like coral:



i also liked the escher-esque staircase in this hunk of calcite:



various sorts of scenery:





industrial porn (airplane porn?):



and some amazing semi-precious stone sculpture by a crazed russian artist:



the detail work has to be seen to be appreciated, like this few-cm-tall chicken in the previous photo:



there are a few more where these came from.
