This view to the West from the Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland, was improved immensely when a young woman climbed (unpropmted) to the top of the small mound of and posed for her friend’s photo. The Giant’s Causeway is an example of slow cooling of magma to form giant columns with a hexagonal cross-section.

Welcome to the worlds of the language wars! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dike_(geology) for the definitions but be aware that in Australia this geological phenomenon is spelt dyke. The dyke is a dolerite. The rock it is intruding is a granite. This particular dyke is exposed in an abandoned quarry near Mannum in South Australia on the banks of the Murray River.

This is a nice example of an igneous dyke that is, at least in this image, actually a sill! Technically, dykes cut across layering while sills intrude parallel to layering. This dyke is more or less parallel to layering in this image [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sill_(geology) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dike_(geology) for more explanation]. In the foreground the rock has weathered to a rusty colour due to the higher iron content of its minerals when compared to the adjacent quartz rich metasediments. In the intertidal zone the oxidation is constantly removed so the sill appears blue-black The bright orange colour is from tenacious lichen that hang on just above the wave zone. This outcrop is at Cape Conran, East Gippland

Igneon is my amalgam of the words igneous and neon. These igneous granite boulders at Wilsons Prom National Park in Victoria, Australia make me think of the night sky,and endless possible worlds in multiple galaxies. The image was taken on Kodak TMax black and white film with an Olympus XA4, then scanned using an incorrect setting on the scanner to get this strange purple neon effect.

Close photo of a multi-colored pile of glassy igneous rocks. The glassy texture forms when molten rock cools so fast that crystals do not have a chance to form.
