In another life I would’ve found a way to work with elephants. Or octopuses. Or both.

In an obscure corner of Kazakhstan, the remains of an ocean millions of years old have created probably the most surreal landscape on earth -- as captured by photographer Daniel Kordan

Kazakhstan's Mangystau plateau, near the border with Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, at sunset. Layers of ancient salt deposits resemble fjords of white, pink, red and orange icing spilling into a vast gray plane

🏺 Always intrigued about potential that such things existed in prehistoric settlements. Identifying multi-storey buildings from stone remains are one thing, but organic superstructures might not preserve.
e.g. what if these Neolithic house models aren't symbolic, but show real architecture?

Very weird pub vibes
Not even sure how to describe this photo… I think it is a stable that has been converted into a seating area by adding an upholstered bench and wall lights, with a treadmill covered in table linen to disguise it?
