What Is It? for 3/25/12

I suppose I should be more attentive. I took it for granite.

Future construction elsewhere.

It looks lonely.

Mt. Trashmore.

Now they can go on to another one.

Opposite of this.

It's a mountain.

A picture of terrace farming.

Nice crop of dolomite you this year

It's the less visited side of Stone Mountain....

An old open-cut mine?

A sad end. The sculptor passed away before he could finish his gigantic replica of the Sphinx.

The new location for Avatar III.

We are setting up a fund in memory of the much lamented sculptor who died before he could complete his life's work on a gigantic replica of the Sphinx.

Please send your donations to West African Scams.org and mark your donation "Sphinx Scam"

an as yet unfinished construction by Slartibartfast.

It's another government cover-up!

Vacation photo of our beautiful WV Appalachians.

earlier shot of this:

Reclaimed (re-mediated and replanted) strip mine.

Several roads to nowhere?

"When Civil Engineers go crazy with blasting specs....."

Conversely, "when blasters misread the damn Technical Specifications!" Can you spell "EXTRA"?

Darn, that last one of mine should have read "CHANGE ORDER"!!!!!!!!

Actually, it looks like a huge "rockfall stabilization" project.

or

The 'Lil Aliens have landed and decided to flatten out the mountaintop for a runway.....

"Tool Time's" Tim Allen went a little crazy with that new LynDoor Industries Nuclear Blasting Kit

That's the Lil' Pocket Nuclear Blasting Kit®. They toned down my thermo-nuclear dueling pistols for this product line. Send me a mail message and I can tell you how to restore full power so you can wow your buddies at the shooting range. Come to think of it, I never did get a reply from Tim.

They found parts of him scattered over three states. The shooting range was closed after that. Too much to decontaminate the site.

I heard every breathe you take has a little tim in it.

Further proof that aliens once came here.

The gateway to the lost world. Just climb over the escarpment.

The inverse of this:

The beginnings of Crazy Horse Monument?

It's where we will all be lined up on 21 December 2012 praying to the Gods of the Mayans to prevent the end of the world as we know it.

It's an old open cast mine probably in Australia.

It's what our tour guide called a "marble factory". It's a mountain in Italy somewhere between Pisa and Florence. I couldn't figure out exactly which one, but you can read about Carrara, Italy, which seems to have the same type of marble. (This photo was not taken in Carrara, which is north of Pisa.)

There is so much marble, new and old, in Italy. They use it quite often in building because it's readily available.

Marble Factory

I bet you can get a bag of marble chips cheap eh?
