  • Billion-year-old rock breaks into a jagged pattern in Glacier National Park, Montana. This image is permanently displayed on the glass of two large lightboxes measuring 19.6 by 8.4 meters (64.3 ft wide x 27.5 ft high) and 16.3 by 3.5 meters (53.6 ft wide x 11.6 ft high), which wrap corners of the following skyscraper constructed by Axiom Builders in June 2019: SODO Residences, 620 10 Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, CANADA (on the Corner of 5th St and 10 Ave SW). Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" book by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010. Since 1932, Canada and USA have shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site (1995) containing two Biosphere Reserves (1976). Rocks in the park are primarily sedimentary layers deposited in shallow seas over 1.6 billion to 800 million years ago. During the tectonic formation of the Rocky Mountains 170 million years ago, the Lewis Overthrust displaced these older sediments over newer Cretaceous age rocks.

  • A rock image by Tom Dempsey is enlarged in two lightboxes at the base of a downtown skyscraper, at SODO Residences, 620 10 Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building was completed in June 2019 on the site of the historic Alberta Boot Company in the Beltline District. Tom photographed the stone pattern in 2002—“Billion-year-old rock breaks into a jagged pattern in Glacier National Park, Montana, image #02GLA-04-38.” Made of 50 glass tiles, the larger lightbox wraps the building's southeast corner, 19.6 by 8.4 meters (64 feet wide x 27.5 feet high). Made of 30 glass tiles, the smaller lightbox wraps the southwest corner, 16.3 by 3.5 meters (53.6 feet wide by 11.6 ft high).

  • From Minaret Vista, see  jagged peaks of the Ritter Range, a sub-range of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in Ansel Adams Wilderness, Inyo National Forest, California, USA. Minaret Vista is the highest driveable lookout in the Mammoth Lakes area. The Minarets are all that remains of an ancient lava flow which existed long before the formation of Sierra Nevada. The 200-million-year-old volcanic flows and welded ash of what is now the Ritter Range metamorphosed and capped a large magma chamber that later (85 million years ago) cooled into the Cathedral Peak Granodiorite (coarse-grained quartz monzonite), now exposed in impressive peaks of eastern Yosemite National Park.

  • The jagged, sharp spine of a Galapagos Marine Iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) displays red and greenish breeding colors on the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, South America. Marine Iguanas, the world’s only sea-going lizard species, are found nowhere else on earth. Marine Iguanas feed almost exclusively on marine algae, expelling the excess salt from nasal glands while basking in the sun, coating their faces with white. Marine Iguanas live on the rocky shore or sometimes on mangrove beaches or marshes. Most adults are black, some grey, and the young have a lighter colored dorsal stripe. The somber tones allow the species to rapidly absorb the warm rays of the sun to minimize the period of lethargy after emerging from the frigid water, which is cooled by the Humboldt Current. Breeding-season adult males on the southern islands are the most colorful and will acquire reddish and teal-green colors, while Santa Cruz males are brick red and black, and Fernandina males are brick red and dull greenish. The iguanas living on the islands of Fernandina and Isabela (named for the famous rulers of Spain) are the largest found anywhere in the Galápagos. The smallest iguanas are found on Genovesa Island. Fernandina Island was named in honor of King Ferdinand II of Aragon, who sponsored the voyage of Columbus.

  • Annapurna I (on the right; 26,545 feet / 8091 meters elevation) is the world’s 10th highest peak. The lower jagged peak at center left is Fang (or Baraha Shikhar 25,088 feet / 7647 meters). On the left, the full moon sets over Annapurna South (also known as Annapurna Dakshin, or Moditse; 23,684 feet / 7219 meters), which is shorter and closer than both other peaks, but looks taller from this perspective. This dawn view is from Annapurna South Base Camp (ABC; at 13,550 feet elevation) in the Annapurna Range of Nepal. Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags fly from a monument which honors fallen climbers. (Panorama stitched from 4 images.)
