PICTURE PERFECT LIQUID





Photobucket



Once fiery liquid, Storm lashed waves frozen in time, testament to the turmoil  birth of volcanic glass.

Camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z612, using the macro setting





I am going to break the rules but only in response to some questions, this is the piece of obsidian that the macro was taken from.  The picture was taken in my back yard.  The rock is from the Medicine Lake area  east of Mt. Shasta.  The rock is only slightly bigger than my hand.

    Wow......what a great shot....so much texture. My father is a physicist...and taught physics and physical science in college.....so you can imagine how I grew up. We had rocks of every type....studied rocks and formations every step of the way growing up from all corners of the US and abroad in our travels. Seeing this reminds me of him.
