These are ossicles, small calcareous elements embedded in the skin of the snake sea cucumber(Synapta sp). Ossicles are embedded in the dermis of the body wall of echinoderms, such sea cucumbers, sea stars, brittle stars, and sea urchins. They form part of the endoskeleton and provide rigidity and protection. These small structures varying in shape, size, and in number, depending on the species.

This is the mirror spider, found in Australia. From certain angles it looks like it’s wearing fabulous tiny sequins!

What do you see?
This is Mount Roraima in the Pacaraima Mountains. It lies on the border of three Countries; Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. It is part of Venezuela’s Canaima National Park which is also home to the beautiful Angel Falls and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mount Roraima’s flat surface is surrounded by 400 metre high sheer cliff faces andits highest point is is Maverick Rock at 2,810 meters.
Im many photos and satellite imagery, Mount Roraima is surrounded or engulfed by clouds. This is because the area is surrounded by thick rainforest. Tropical heat causes the moisture from the rainforest to rise and condense over and around the mountain as heavy clouds. As a result, Mount Roraima is almost always in clouds and it rains nearly every day.

This waterfall is called Honokohau Falls and it is located in the West Maui Mountains in Hawaii.
The falls drop from atop the mountains into a pool halfway down the cliff face. The water spills from a small pool and plunges another several hundred feet to another pool at the bottom of the mountain. The total drop of this waterfall is 1,119 feet! The only way to view the waterfall is by helicopter since the area where it is located is in an inaccessible section of the valley.
If this is looking quite familiar to you, it may be because it was featured in the movie “Jurassic Park”!

An Underwater Waterfall?
The Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean hosts a truly remarkable sight. Just off the coast there appears to be an underwater waterfall. This phenomenon is most prominent when looked at from an aerial view, as in this image.Now, fluid dynamics can produce some wondrous effects, but, is cold dense water responsible for this phenomenon?Nope, but there’s still a cool explanation which delves into the topography of the sea floor.Mauritius is located at the southern edge of the Mascarene Plateau, a prominent shelf which can be seen in this image. The depth of the water above the shelf ranges from around 8-150 metres. However, where that shelf ends, there is a massive plunge into the Ocean depths. How massive? We’re talking from going from 150 metres to many thousands of metres.What you’re witnessing, that looks like an underwater waterfall, is actually sand from the shores of Mauritius being driven via ocean currents off of that high, coastal shelf, and down into the darker ocean depths off the southern tip of the island.

fun fact: you might think this is an effect, but in eurovision a sepia filter actually materializes by itself if your song is cowboy enough!

I love this place.
It was raining so we didn’t stay long, but man it was worth coming here.
I fell asleep on the car ride back. I never fall asleep in cars, trains or airplanes. Last time I fell asleep in a car was when Stephanie was driving through a rainy Isle of Skye. Guess who was driving this time?
