Life to stone
Uploaded: October 02, 2004
Grass flooded by mineral-rich waters of a hot spring slowly transforms into stone. This is more than minerals depositing on leaves: the plants drink the water and the minerals deposit inside the plant. After a while it is literally made out of stone, and, unless broken or buried in more mineral deposits, will stand for hundreds of years as you see it now.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
