Don't miss the FREE Microscope Study Notebooking Pages I shared yesterday. My sister, family scientist, purchased my boys a microscope and a slide making kit for Christmas. I was intimidated. They worked it no problem, but I cracked a slide. Seriously. My code name in high school chemistry was beaker-breaker. Things haven't changed much. My boys kept asking …
Si l'humanité a mis au point nombre de technologies et d'oeuvres architectoniques, la nature n'a rien à lui envier : elle aussi sait nous épater. Les minéraux s'assemblent pour former des roches comme la croûte et le manteau terrestre, mais aussi de plus petites roches aux couleurs variées. Généralement solides, d'autres minéraux tels que le mercure peuvent être solides. L'évolution de la planète a été un long processus nous laissant de réelles merveilles. Sympa a trouvé les 30 minéraux les plus fascinants, et il y a fort à parier que tu n'en reviennes pas.

Most of those who visit Czech Republic head straight to Prague which is undoubtedly as beautiful as famous. However, very few travelers ever leave the capital and know about located on the other side of the country, near the Polish border, Adrspach-Teplice Rock Town. It's not a "town" meaning a settlement built by people. The "town" is made naturally of huge rock formations that take the shape of pillars, columns, walls and labyrinths. It kind of resembles the famous Cappadocia region in Turkey. What's interesting is that almost every rock has its distinctive name, for example "the lovers" or "the Johann Wolfgang". The devil - wood sculpture The beginning of the trail Rock formations The Gothic Gate Rock labyrinth The orange stream The trail A narrow passage Panorama "Lovers" rock formation View point The trail among the rocks The rocks "Mayor and his wife" Mouse hole Adrspach Rocks Park from outside A pine growing on the rocks History of discovery It may seem surprising that the shaped by water and wind for millions of years rock town in Adrspach was literally unknown in the world for centuries. Local communities ventured there only in the face of danger or to escape from invaders. The first climbers and foreign visitors appeared as late as at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Quite a few famous figures of the 18th century visited the place, for example: Prussian Queen Louise, the Polish King Friedrich August, the Emperor Joseph II and many others. However, the maze was still unknown for majority of normal population. Only after the great fire in 1824 the rocks began to emerge from the dense forests that once had grown there. In the nineteenth century, Adrspach rock town became more accessible when the paths and trails were constructed and the first regular visitors appeared. The trail - The big loop The trail, in the shape of a big loop will take you to the most important and interesting points in the rock labyrinth. You will notice the first rock formations even before entering the park area. The best time to visit is obviously the summer, however I went there a few days after Christmas, there was no snow at all (which is highly unusual) and the weather was really nice. And, what's most important there were very few visitors so the trails weren't crowded at all. Rock formations There are thousands of strange rock formations and some of them, especially those that resemble something have unique names. You will get a leaflet full of information about basically each of them and a map that shows where exactly they are located. Right after the start of the trail, you can admire "The Jug" and "The sugar cone". Then you will encounter The Metuje river which has a beautiful, unusual orange color. Together with the silver rocks it makes quite an outlandish scenery. The stream will lead you to the most amazing part of the rock town (in my humble opinion) - "The Gothic Gate" which looks as if all the walls and the passage was man made. The gate itself is obviously man made. Now you can admire really high rocky facade of the maze while walking along the little river. The whole gate and the walls remind of the rock town in Petra in Jordan, with the exception of the color. After a few minutes of walking, you will see another natural wonder - a beautiful waterfall surrounded completely by the rocks. Keep going, climb the trail up and you will be rewarded with an extraordinary view of the whole panorama of Adrspach rocks. Then, squeeze through the mouse hole, keep walking and you will get to where you started. The blue lake Now, you are back at the beautiful blue lake that you passed when starting the trail. There is an additional loop trail around it and it's also beautiful. It's not a natural lake but a former sandpit that has been filled with water. Nevertheless, it looks beautiful, the water is clear and blue (almost like in the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia). I was also lucky to visit the place in winter, because the water surface was partially frozen and a beautiful, star-shaped pattern was formed on it. Clear waters of the sandpit lake The lake Clear water of the lake The lake The lake - reflection The small waterfall The big waterfall The orange river The frozen lake Frozen part of the lake Yellow moss - looks like paint

Modern painters have been influenced by the Altamira cave paintings. After a visit, Pablo Picasso exclaimed "after Altamira, all is decadence". - Dopo Altamira, tutto è decadenza, esclamò Pablo Picasso, 1881-1973, incantato dinanzi allo spettacolo delle pitture rupestri nella grotta spagnola di Altamira. Molti pittori sono stati influenzati dalle opere delle grotte di Altamira.
I've received a lot of interest in the romantic rock paperweight from my "Busy" post. It's been pinned, and I've received emails about it. Funny how something so simple speaks to us. I used the Splendid Transfer method (found on my sidebar) after rubbing the surface with a little gesso. You can read about gesso on my sidebar as well. That's it. That wasn't the only one I made, and I kept it. I also did something similar to a broken piece of marble. I used an Eiffel Tower image. Like I said, it was a broken piece of marble. I have quite a few pieces like this. Even broken, they have great charm, and I can't toss them. Now it sits with another little rock, and my chippy lavender filled urn. Here's a beautiful image I transferred to a round piece of marble. VISIT my ETSY shop HERE to find the image. Going to play with more rocks, and work on some furniture. UPDATE: Here is a breakdown of how I transferred the images. Clean the rock Gesso is not necessary for the transfer here, it just adds tooth and depth. You can use watered down white paint. Let it dry. Use a "Splendid Blender" pen by Chartpak. Other blender pens don't have the same chemical composition, and won't work. Check out "Splendid Transfer" on my sidebar for more info on the pen. Make a laser, toner based copy of the image you want to use. Ink jet copies don't work. Place the copy face down on the rock. Rub the pen over the image, while keeping the paper stable. If it slides around, you'll get a blurry image. Press hard till the image transfers. Make sure you have lots of ventilation when using the pen. There are other ways to transfer images, but, this is how I did it with the rocks.

In Chichibu, Japan, two hours northwest of Tokyo, there’s an odd museum; perhaps the only one of its kind. It’s called the Chinsekikan (which means Hall of Curious Rocks) and it houses over 1700 rocks that resemble human faces. The museum houses all kinds of jinmenseki, or rock with a human face, including celebrity lookalikes like Elvis Presley. And according to a 2013 post on Kotaku, there are also movie and video game character rocks like E.T., Donkey Kong and Nemo. More
