- The San Andreas Fault created Tomales Bay, sun set, North of San Francisco
- field_caption
- At sunset looking South towards the city of San Francisco, the San Andreas Fault creates this approximately 15 mile long bay called Tomales Bay. On the right is Point Rays national Seashore, rich in wild life such as elk, deer, coyote, elephant seals, hawks, too many to list. And on the left is the mainland of Marin County, preserved as open space and is used as grazing land also divers in wildlife endemic to this area. The San Andreas Fault continues South overland 16 miles passing the small costal town of Bolinas, disappeas onto the Pacific only to reappear under the heart of San Francisco.

- Erupting Geyser, Iceland
- field_caption
- This is Strokkur, the (now) main erupting geyser on the geyser fields in Iceland, and this is just milliseconds before the boiling water explodes into the air under the subsurface temperature and pressure. It erupts roughly every 5 minutes and can reach as high as 40 meters. The subsurface temperature of the water is around 120 degrees celcius, but at those pressures it doesn't boil until it rises towards to surface which is what creates the eruption.

- This was taken in March on Cuverville Island on the Antarctic Peninsula. It's getting to the tail end of summer so winter is starting to arrive. In this case is was almost a white out when I saw this young Gentoo penguin trying to get food from its mother. For me this picture captures the harsh life that animals have to endure here.

- Dalbeattie lies on the outskirts of the UK's first Dark Sky Park. I was lucky to visit and see the Perigee Moon, which wasn't great for stargazing, but the dramatic views more than made up for it!
