For today's Halloween GPoW, I challenged myself. I have frequently posted pictures of volcanoes, waterfalls, caves, arches and bridges, canyons, and mountains; I've occasionally veered off that path with landslides, remote-sensing views, and a couple of crystals and minerals. So my challenge was to come up with something DIFFERENT; unusual, photo-worthy, and significant geologically. And also something a bit relevant to Halloween.
See if you think I succeeded.
All of these are in the United States.
TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Education; Outdoors; Science
KEYWORDS: erosion; erratics; mud; soil
BOO!

There's a mountain formation somewhere in Germany called the Witch's T!t. I'd google it but I'm at work. I saw it a few times from whatever autobahn is close by.

Your second post reminded me of Muang Pii (city of Ghosts) near Phrae, Thailand. It is all the more striking as it is surrounded by monsoonal forests. Happy Halloween.

Are any of these photos of the Bad Lands in SoDak?Nope, and I'm not trying to hide anything. The first is on the shore of Lake Erie or Ontario, it's an eroded drumlin with a glacial erratic. The second is Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. The third is a mud volcano near the Salton Sea, California.

I don't know where two of them were taken, but the second one is "Tent Rocks" located SW of Santa Fe, and NW of Albuquerque, NM
