  • A flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) bud fluoresces under ultraviolet light in Snohomish County, Washington. Under white light, this bud would appear brownish-red and green. The bright red and violet colors are the result of fluorescence, a type of photoluminescence, in which certain chemicals absorb light that is invisible to human eyes and emit some of it at a different wavelength that we can see. This scene was captured under black light.

  • Burney Falls in northern California emerges from the rocks. The waterfall is fed by underground springs at and above the falls; cracks in the rock allow the water to emerge at various points of the falls. Since it is fed by springs, Burney Falls flows at an almost constant rate of 100 million US gallons per day (4 m³/s), even during the dry summer months.

  • A close-up of a a cross-section of petrified wood reveals colors in abstract patterns in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. The petrified wood in the park is made up of almost solid quartz and the colors are the result of impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon and manganese. It formed more than 200 million years ago when logs washed into an ancient river system. The logs were quickly buried by sediment, which slowed decay. Over time, minerals, including silica, were absorbed into the porous wood, replacing the original organic material over hundreds of thousands of years.

  • A close-up shows the detail of the texture of the Giant Dome Column, located in the Hall of Giants in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. Giant Dome, like the other speleothems in the Hall of Giants, began as small calcite deposits on the cavern floor. Dripping water resulted in more calcite building up on the initial deposits, gradually building the small formations into large stalagmites. Giant Dome eventually grew to touch the ceiling, turning it from a stalgmite into a column that is 62 feet (19 meters) tall.

  • A close-up of the Painted Hills in John Day National Monument, Oregon reveals their popcorn-like texture. This texture is the result of erosion. The cracks result from the drying of the soil after heavy rain; the deeper channels are caused by the run-off of heavy rain.
