Glastonbury Abbey


This is Glastonbury Abbey in Sommerset, England. As you can see, it's still quite pretty despite having failed utterly in its overriding purpose of not become uninhabited, desolate ruins. That said, you should see the other buildings made in the 7th century. Oh wait - you can't!

Here is the website of the place. [Insert "website made before the invention of the internet" joke here.]
Another picture after the break.

Floating mountain ready to crush house


Here's a picture of Mount Aiguille in France, about to crush some guy's house! Another picture of it floating around after the break.

Hexagon Waterfall


Here's a hexagon waterfall in in Iceland. The rocks are clearly left like this by either a glacier or aliens. OR ARE THEY?

St Kilda

1886
Today
St Kilda is an island in the middle of nowhere off the coast of Scotland. It's been uninhabited since 1930, which as you can see in the two comparison photos above has made the place quite a lot more attractive.

The Lion of Lucerne


This monument in Switzerland commemorates the Swiss Guards that were killed by a bunch of Frenchies during the storming of Tuileries in 1792, probably for their crimes against fashion. The lion was carved in 1821-22 and the inscription roughly translates to "You damn Frenchies, you have killed me".

Stone Forest Pool


Here's a picture I found on Reddit. Thought it looked pretty cool and was made of stone, fulfilling my publication requirements. It's apparently a park called the "Stone Forest" in China, and although I'm a little confused I'm pretty it's apparently in Guilin and probably made by glaciers or something. Some overview pictures are after the break.

OMG INUIT STONE ART!


Time to get back to stone stuff that probably wasn't made by glaciers. If you're like me you probably assumed they didn't have stones at the North Pole, only pieces of ice of varying hardnesses. Turns out they can dig for rocks or something because I've found some Inuit (or Eskimo) art and it looks pretty cool. Some of my faves so far are after the break.
