Romania Rocks: A day on the river
http://romania-rocks.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-on-river.html
Musing about Romania, geology and other things that come to mind. Sunday, October 3, 2010. A day on the river. You are a geologist when you have fun digging trenches to see cross-bedding and when you enjoy photographing mud clasts on a Saturday afternoon. The first stop was on the opposite bank from the meander loop cut-off, indicated by the yellow arrow in the picture above. A point bar with a lot of awesome features, worthy of any Geology 101 class: ripples and dunes. More ripples and dunes. Geology an...

Romania Rocks: A New Year family tradition
http://romania-rocks.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-year-family-tradition.html
Musing about Romania, geology and other things that come to mind. Friday, January 1, 2010. A New Year family tradition. We do not have too many traditions in my family. We are pretty unconventional and non-traditional (I will spare you the boring details). We do have one New Year tradition, however, we always watch the New Year's Concert from Vienna. This year again, I enjoyed a glass of Champagne listening to the music of the Strauss family and feeling connected the the past, present and the future.

Romania Rocks: Mud cracks revisited
http://romania-rocks.blogspot.com/2011/01/mud-cracks-revisited.html
Musing about Romania, geology and other things that come to mind. Sunday, January 9, 2011. In a previous post. I showed a picture of the desiccation cracks that formed when a little pond on our Brenham property dried out this summer. We visited three months later (yesterday), and found that the cracks in the mud weathered, and now look more like ant mounds. The two pictures, side by side are shown below.

Musing about Romania, geology and other things that come to mind. Sunday, June 6, 2010. Trip to the Mesozoic. This summer we are going to Romania to visit family and friends and are planning a trip to the Piatra Craiului Mountains. We will spend at least a couple of days hiking the Mesozoic reef buildups in the area, and will enjoy some of the most amazing scenery in the Southern Carpathians. Our first excursion will most likely be on the Northern side of the mountains, from the town of Zarnesti.
