Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells π₯, seashells π, and pearls π¦ͺ are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

Kinda getting more back into more atmospheric post-rock/metal stuff too, relisting to GY!BE and Isis and Pelican
how many times have you listened to Van Weezer now
I have been reconnecting with some old albums from my youth, I was searching for an album I used to use to help me fall asleep and accidentally discovered Delirium - Spheres instead, which is kind neat somewhat - ambient experimental electronics.
Also for some reason ive been feeling The Birthday Massacre, and I think I like Walking With Strangers better than Violet and haven't listened and probdbly won't listen to any of the others any time soon
i have listened to van weezer twice ever. i hate that album
me too
