Sand Tufas
You could be forgiven for thinking that the otherworldly rock formations in these pictures come from another planet, or from a sci-fi movie perhaps. But they’re actually called sand tufas and they come from right here on earth.
A tufa is a peculiar form of calcium carbonate, and they’re created when calcium-bearing freshwater springs well up through alkaline lake water (which is rich in carbonates). The carbonate and calcium combine and, over centuries, these elements form unusual spires, towering columns, and strange cauliflower-shaped mounds which can reach heights of up to nine metres (30ft). Tufas can only form underwater, and they’re only exposed when lakes are drained or dry out over many years. Check out this collection of pictures compiled by Bored Panda to see these curious formations for yourself.
Peacefic.
I want to pioneer a new* genre of fanfiction: the peacefic.
Peacefic simply follows characters through a day or week when everything goes fine. Buffy goes to school and hangs out with her friends and goes on a quiet patrol; the Enterprise charts a new planet and finds it to be an entirely lovely place; the Doctor and Rose visit an era, enjoy the local color, and leave without any unexpected difficulty.
It may not make for great storytelling, but I feel like it would be extremely therapeutic.
*if this hasn’t already been thought of, which it probably has
I love Peacefic! The kind where no one is slain by arrows, bitten by zombies, or led to believe someone is in love with them, when–surprise!!–they get together with someone else. >:c

OMG @babyredpanda you can ride a city bus and be THERE right now *so jealous* :3
So pretty ! *-* Hehe, maybe I will go, indeed. :3 I’m sure there are very nice places in your province too, though. ;D
There’s *maybe* a two-block stretch in downtown Ottawa that *might* look this quaint, but it would have to be on a very good day.
