Photographer Dave Sandford braved the cold and turbulent waters of Lake Erie in late fall to capture some remarkable wave action. Like on the ocean, waves in the Great Lakes are largely driven by winds, but lakes don’t develop the constant set of rolling waves that oceans do. Instead their waves are more erratic and unpredictable. Sandford focused on capturing the moment when wind-driven waves coming into shore collided with waves rebounding from piers or rocks along the shore. The results are waves that, through Sandford’s lens, look like exploding mountainsides. Such energetic waves mix sediment and nutrients in the lake, and the spray of droplets can even loft aerosols and pollutants from the water into the atmosphere.   (Photo credit: D.

 Iridescent Gold – Farncomb Hill, Breckenridge, Summit County, Colorado

A stunning example of the naturally iridescent natural golds which came
out in the early 1900s from the famous Breckenridge District of
Colorado, this superb small miniature has crystals of several habits,
accented with incredibly beautiful iridescent patina that one almost
never sees. The reason you do not see the colors on Colorado golds like
this, is most were cleaned with acid. This is probably au naturale,
since the day it came out.

From the source: This snarling wolf head is closely similar to others that were attached to a luxurious pleasure barge moored on a lake near Rome. The ship was designed as a floating platform for elaborate, hedonistic parties.
