You know you’re a geo-nerd when you can spell “allochthonous” correctly without double checking (but misspell “correctly” on your first try). Anne and Chris will be hosting the next AW, with the theme of a “Geo-Image Bonanza!”
It could be a photograph you’ve taken of an outcrop or process in action; a diagram from a classic geologic paper or text book; a satellite image of an incredible landscape; an optical microscope picture of your favorite mineral; something topical, or an old and inspirational favorite. Whatever strikes your fancy. You might consider writing a little about what your chosen images shows or why you chose it, but wordless entries are OK too. We’re also OK with recycled submissions if you’ve got a post in your archives that fits the carnival theme.
The deadline for submission of posts will be Friday, May 28. To submit your entry, leave a link to in the comments section here or at the Accretionary Wedge blog. We encourage our non-blogging readers to contribute their favorite images as well: we’ll be happy to publish your image here.
Some things I’d like to emphasize here are 1) you do not need to be a geologist; 2) you do not need to be a blogger; 3) it probably is necessary for you to have web access; and 4) it would definitely be a good thing if you understand that everyone here in the geoblogosphere loves them some pretty pictures of… well… pretty much everything geoscience-related. So send some!
The deadline is Friday, May 28th. I know that for me, the issue is going to be limiting the size of my submission, not finding good material. (Cross-posted at the Outside The Interzone)

It seems my entry has already been announced (I wasn’t expecting that)
There were some problems embedding Google map imagery but it has been solved.

So many photos, so little time. Here is a link to some that still resonate with me for various reasons:

Once I started down memory lane, I got a bit carried away.
Anyway, here ’tis. Thanks.
