Swipe [1-7] Tafoni - Spain (2026) ➖ Formed from the eroded remains of ancient volcanic rock, marine shell, and coral, aeolianite is a soft, porous sandstone cemented by calcium carbonate. Built up over hundreds of thousands of years as wind-driven dune fields, it hardens slowly, its interior remaining permeable and its surface vulnerable to the forces of the coast. Salt does the sculpting. Seawater penetrates the rock and, as it evaporates repeatedly, salt crystals expand within the stone and fracture it from the inside, a process known as haloclasty. Combined with wind abrasion and the constant force of Atlantic swells, this process hollows out cavities that grow, merge, and deepen over time into the geological formations known as Tafoni: clusters of rounded, eye-like pockets ranging from small piercings to large hollows that open right through the stone. taken in Fuerteventura, Canarias, Spain by @thatbloom

Swipe [1-10] Klint - Denmark (2024) ➖ 'Hvide Klint' is a chalk cliff along the southern coast of the island of Møn in southeast Denmark, facing the Baltic Sea. Around a kilometer long and rising about 20 meters above the waterline, it is formed from ancient chalk layers that were pushed, stacked, and folded by advancing glaciers during the last ice age. The cliff face is anything but uniform. The exposed rock is twisted and layered, veined with flint, and stained by mineral seepage. Diagonal fractures cut through the chalk where ancient ice sheets compressed and folded the rock, while pockets of glacial material remain embedded within it, creating a mix of textures and earthy tones. Shaped by ice, wind, and water over thousands of years, these structures take on abstract, sculptural qualities that are endlessly varied and surprisingly intimate up close. taken in Denmark by @thatbloom
