They need no captions; they speak for themselves. People often wonder how geologists could be so interested in "rocks" - these photos are the answer! "The indescribable innocence and beneficence of Nature--of sun and wind and rain, of summer and winter-- such health, such cheer, they afford forever! and such sympathy have they ever with our race, that all Nature would be affected, and the sun's brightness fade, and the winds would sigh humanely, and the clouds rain tears, and the woods shed their leaves and put on mourning in midsummer, if any man should ever for a just cause grieve. Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?" - Henry David Thoreau, from Walden Department of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Illinois at Chicago To contact us: Phone: (312) 996-3154 Fax: (312) 413-2279 Logos are created by Soupkitchen Design Last update: 01/02/07
