I'm a geochemist. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, poetry, drillers, trees, bicycles, and cosmochemistry.
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.

But where's the photo from? I remember some columnar basalt along the coast south of Wollongong.
It's Mordor, right?
