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.

La Tour Percee


This is a pretty cool rock outcrop in France. It's called La Tour Percee and it's located around here, in the Chartreuse mountains. Since I don't understand this geology at all, I'm gonna go ahead and attribute this to glaciers as well. After the break is a picture of it from another angle.

Balancing Stones


Found out about this little sucker today. It's in Garden of the Gods park in Colorado. Apparently there's more! Balancing rocks are found all over the world, most of them probably put in place by aliens or possibly glaciers. Incidentally, f'ing glaciers, how do they work?
See more balancing rocks after the break.

Stone bridges

Now if you're like me, you probably thought that bridges had to be made out of something lighter than water or they would sink. Apparently this is not true, as this lovely stone bridge demonstrates.



Irish stone walls, for sheep I think


Here's a picture of some stone walls in Inisheer on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. I took it from this guy's Wikipedia page. Nice pic Wikidrone20000!
