Pretty as a picture! This natural photo frame is made up of Tamala Limestone, found along more than 1000km of WA coast, from Shark Bay to nearly Albany. More accurately called 'aeolian calcarenite', this type of rock is made up of broken shell fragments brought ashore by waves and wind, and cemented by calcium carbonate. . 📸: @nature_camping_kids_ . . . #perthlife #explorewa #thisiwa #westernaustralia #perthbeaches #hamersleypools #indianocean #natureswindow #geology #limestone #geologyrocks

Here you can see the connections between brain cells! 📸: Jason Kirk / Quynh Nguyen / @nikoninstruments . . . #microscopy #microscopic #underthemicroscope #mindblowing #neurons
