Columnar basalt in the rain
Welcome back to the blogosphere, Chris.
I'm a geochemist. In the past ten years I've fixed mass spectrometers, blasted sapphires with a laser beam, explored for uranium in a nature reserve, and measured growth patterns in fish ears, and helped design the next generation of the world's most advanced ion probe. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, drillers, and cosmochemistry.

But where's the photo from? I remember some columnar basalt along the coast south of Wollongong.
It's Mordor, right?
The photo is from East-central Tasmania. The rock is Tasmanian dolerite (aka diabase in America), one of the shallow intrusions associated with the flood basalt province that covers most of the island.
