More Brains

When it rains it pours. I spent a great deal of time searching for landscape that would help illustrate the idea of Gaia's Brain without any success. But then I finally found the rock outcroppings in the Animas Valley that help illustrate the idea. Then yesterday mornings flight to Playas Valley produced another location which also does the same thing. Instead of rock this brain like feature covers an area with a dark thin layer of topsoil over much lighter subsoil. The solution rills
have cut down through the topsoil into the lighter material underneath resulting in a scene resembling a 3D X-ray image of the brain.
