(Lava) Bomb on the Mountain (volcano)

South Sister is Oregon's 3rd tallest peak. It's a stratovolcano 10,363 ft (3,158 m) tall, part of the Three Sisters complex which includes dozens of smaller volcanoes and several older eroded mountains.

The upper 2,000 feet or so (~650 m) is a 20,000 year-old cinder cone, the result of a fire-fountain-type eruption of lava. One of the common features of that style of eruption are lava bombs - chunks of liquid lava flung through the air that cool in streamlined and elongated shapes. The upper flank of the mountain is very steep, and makes for slow climbing through cinders. Slope pitches average 30˚ in this area, and get as high as 58˚!

Perched at random on this slope is probably the largest lava bomb I've ever seen! It's probably about a meter across and shows the streamlined, elongated nature of a bomb very well. I'm not sure why it's still sitting at that precarious location, but up close you can see the vesicular texture of erupted lava (basaltic andesite). This might be classified (yes, there are sub-classifications of lava bombs - geologists love classifications!) as a breadcrust bomb because it looks almost like a crusty bread with cracked crust. These are very common on volcanoes like this. It's hard to see in this picture, but amidst the vesicles (bubbles) in the rock are numerous plagioclase feldspar crystals ~0.5-1 mm across.

Anyway, volcanoes are cool.

Fuck it im rambling about my shirt I can't hold this in any longer

Okay, so I got this big white shirt, and I tie-dyed diagonally, with four colors going from my left shoulder to the bottom right. Left to right its pink, green, blue, and then I left the corner white. And I put MEANING into the color placement hehe. First, the obvious, the pink green and blue represent the girls. (I'll get to the white don't worry) The green is placed inbetween the pink and blue because (especially before Amphibia) Marcy was the glue holding Anne and Sasha together. Pink is on top because Sasha was the leader of the group (mostly before amphibia again here). Now I get to talk about the white hehehe classic kiwi angst incoming. The white only touches the blue, and in fact leaks throughout it in places (that was on accident but it works). The white is supposed to represent (extra points if you guessed right) Anne's death. Her sacrifice to save her girls, and keep them from falling as well, hence the white not touching anything else. BUT there are actually little dots of pink and green (which were definitely accidents im pretty messy) within the white, showing how Sasha and marcy were willing to do anything to get Anne back.

Aldhslshlsdb okay sorry had to get all that put of my system. Been resisting infodumping all this to my friends bc a) none of them have watched amphibia and b) masking is harder today and I can't figure out a way to say it all without talking to much BUT no one cares if I do that here so yeah.
