Péter Luffi > WoGE #146 ACG's WoGE #145 featured the Natural Bridges National Monument in southeastern Utah. I was lucky to find it quickly, so here we go again. This picture is quite simple; besides providing the location, there's an obvious major geological feature that must be named and shortly described. I think this one may be too simple for WoGE experts, so I'll invoke the Schott rule again (previous winners must wait one hour for each of their wins). Posting time is Oct. 13, 18:50 UTC.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #144 EffJot's WoGE #143, just like his WoGE #141 belong to a type of puzzle I actually like in spite of their crazy zoom-in: they have a story behind the scene. So, once you have an idea what's featured, it's quite fun looking up information on the web. Now it's my turn, but I won't try to compete with EffJot in finding a story-rich spot. Instead I just pick one of the images I grabbed some time ago, while trying to solve previous WoGE challenges. Hope this will be easy (I actually never thought that my previous puzzle will last so long; I don't exactly know how many people tried their luck, all I'm sure is that there were more than 5, and that they managed >1200 hits.) Although I hate discriminating experienced WoGE folks, since this one is quite easy, and I hope some newbies are keen for a win, this time I'll exceptionally invoke the Schott rule (previous winners have to wait one hour for each of their previous WoGE wins). In addition to this, in order to keep the game geology-oriented, if there's no major objection in the community, I won't accept answers without some relevant geological description. That is, to win, one MUST provide some information that is beyond the obvious/visible. With other words, if you give only the location and nothing more than first order geological observations (e.g. "this is a fold/fault"), you risk to ease the win of someone who is willing/able to add some chips of behind-the-scene earth science, too. Posting time is Oct 11, 21:10 UTC
Péter Luffi > WoGE #142 EffJot's WoGE #141 certainly was my toughest win so far; without the last hints that instantly turned on a light called "Kupferschiefer" in my mind, I certainly wouldn't even try to restart searching after giving up two weeks of hopeless navigation above the endless croplands of Germany. OK, now's my turn, here comes the next challenge. Locate this spot, provide some relevant geological description, and the next WoGE may be yours!
Péter Luffi > WoGE #139 Given the few clues, I must have been pretty lucky to find Zoltan's WoGE #138 featuring the Rio Coco delta in Honduras in less than five minutes. But I still need to improve my skills of deciphering delta deposits. For now, here's my next challenge, restriction-free as usual.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #137 Jeff's WoGE #136 was a snapshot of the Eastern Dharwar Craton in India. Being the first to identify it, I have the privilege to post the next WoGE. This one may be overly easy for those who know what geological features they see, or a mess for those without a clue. So, let's see who'll be the first to locate this view and say something geologically relevant about it. No posting time provided means no rules to worry about ;-)
Péter Luffi > WoGE #134 It was pretty fun to track down EffJot's WoGE #133 in the Alps - there are so many nice places there, that I had to remind myself every 10 minutes, why I'm actually flying around in that region. Now WoGE is back to me; this time I invite you to take a break from mountaineering and have a look on this green thing. What is it, where is it? This one is a free run, if you know what I mean (if not, doesn't matter); it should be easy, so hurry to say couples of words with geological meaning, provide a lat/long pair, and you may host the next challenge.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #132 EffJot's WoGE #131 in southern Kamchatka wasn't too hard to find, and I feel lucky that nobody has answered it before my handicap time expired. Now here's the next challenge; it's another Schott's rule-free run, let's see who'll be the first to locate and describe in geological terms this view.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #127 Chris M's WoGE #126 was a snapshot of the Niger River in Mali. I was lucky to find it before other WoGE maniacs, so here we go with the next one: I'm wondering who'll be the first to locate this view and say something geologically relevant about it. Although the photo contains plenty of clues, I still won't invoke Schott's rule; let's see if it really makes difference ;-)
Péter Luffi > WoGE #124 I found Ron's WoGE #123 in South Africa, so I'm pleased to serve the WoGE community with the next challenge, again from the geo-art category. If the scale bar would be in centimeters, one quickly could answer: it's a nice piece of malachite. But the scale is in kilometers, so I wonder who will be the first to identify this handsome feature, and provide some useful geological description. This is another Schott's rule-free run, folks, so you better stay tuned.
