Silica-containing ground water seeped into fallen trees preserved by silt, mud, and volcanic ash over 225 million years ago. The crystallized silica, a quartz fossil of the ancient pine-like tree sits precariously atop a steadily eroding hill of hardened sediment. Storm clouds are just beginning to shade this dramatic scene. Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.

This is a close-up photo of a petrified tree, taken in The Petrified Forest of Calistoga, California. The California Petrified Forest has been a tourist attraction since 1870, attracting visitors as varied as author Robert Louis Stevenson and naturalist Luther Burbank. The petrification process started over 3 million years ago, when a volcano erupted northeast of present-day Calistoga, California. Its blast was so violent that it knocked down everything in its path, covering it all with pale, yellow ash. Giant redwood trees, over 2,000 years old when they fell, lay buried under the ash, slowly turning into stone, until a Calistoga-area resident who came to be known as “Petrified Charlie” discovered them in 1870 and opened a tourist attraction centered around them. / (Source: about.com)

A very simple image, less complex than my other seascapes but so striking, I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and this has the back remains of Mordor stone washed clean Gandalfs trailing beard and the forces of Light over Darkness! – pure Bulls#8t but it works for me.

The Petrified Forest, Cape Bridgewater, Victoria, Australia. There are a number of theories about how this surreal landscape of calcified sediment was formed. One of these is that a forest was smothered by a large sand dune and water seeping down through the sand formed a crust of sandstone on the outside of the tree trunks. This process decayed the organic matter, leaving behind the ‘petrified trunks’. Another theory says that they are Rhizoconcretions-calcrete structures caused by the filling of hollows in an ancient sand dune system. The close spacing between them suggests to me that they were not trees – but an ancient petrified forest sounds more romantic and the name has become entrenched over time perpetuating perhaps a myth.

Alternate title ‘The Lost City’. / Composite images combined in Photoshop.

A carving found in a cave deep below the surface on a very distant planet. The eyes look too real in my opinion. But who knows? Created in Photoshop using photographic elements (the face) and shapes and textures created in Photoshop and GroBoto. / It started off looking completely different but about eight hours and a lot of strange music it finished up like this. For better or for worse. Criticism most welcome.
