The Tessellated Tiles of Tasmania
Strangely created by nature and not man are the tessellated tiles of Tasmania. Located near the southern end of Tasmania on the Tasman Peninsula, Eaglehawk Neck is a thin stretch of land which links two Islands. It is the Earth’s finest example of tessellated pavement.
Tessellated pavement is an extremely rare erosional feature that forms in flat sedimentary rock lying on ocean shores. The pavement earned this name due to rocks fracturing into polygonal blocks that resemble tiles or tessellations. The resulting patterns are another example of nature’s beauty and mystery.
Inquisitor submitted this photo with the comment “Here you see my friend Porange. I was taking perfectly sensible photos of her one night, when a bystander said “Goths up trees!” I, knowing little of the ways of the world, replied “That’s a thing?” Next I knew, we were bound for pastures arboreal… Enjoy.”
To the helpful bystander who made this photo happen, I salute you. This is an excellent night shot of a paled up lady bedecked in black and white. Our goth is high up the tree and she’s not smiling. She looks comfortable in her up-tree pose as if she’s waiting for something. Bonus points for perfect face angling.
5 out of 5 - If you’re going to yell “goths up trees” at goths, please make sure:
a) that the people you’re yelling at are actually goths (and not metallers or hardcore/scene/emo/punk kids or individuals who just love wearing black and don’t identify with any subculture thankyouverymuch),
b) that they’re having a photoshoot near a tree, and
c) you’re prepared for disdainful looks and eye-rolling if they’re not in a frisky mood.
This is Po Tato and she is one sad pink eye. Po used to find her husband a-peeling, but now she cannot find him at all.
This is Pinky, the pink eyed potato. Pinky is a sad potato. “Why is Pinky sad?” you ask, well let me tell you. Pinky’s girlfriend Beccy, the Kennebec potato was going through a bad stage in her life, she started getting around with a bad crowd, commonly known as the ‘Baked Potatoes’ as they were always high. Beccy started to get high with the baked potatoes and one day, on her way home she was picked by a stranger who took her to the local Praties. Poor Beccy was served with garlic prawns and curried scallops for Seafood Month and gobbled up by a small child who wouldn’t eat the skin. This is why Pinky is sad. So next time you are asked “What do you say to a Praties?” think twice and save a potato.
I submitted this photo with the comment: “me and me mates up some trees”
Happy Goth Christmas everyone! Yes, yes, some people call it Halloween but it’s actually Goth Christmas to those in the know (all 20 of us). Like a big goth
satansanta I bring you 7 goths up 3 trees (and one supporting cast member pretending to be a rock)! You will notice that some are in Halloween costume; you can see the Mad Hatter there but there’s also the Terminator and an absinthe fairy hiding in the trees. It’s hard to get a good idea of who’s smiling and who’s just complaining that they’re being spiked in the bum by a branch but you try and keep your friends still at a 3am post-goth-club gathering up trees after you’ve plied them with absinthe. Bonus points given for everything.5 out of 5 - 7 goths up 3 trees. Try and beat that.
Awkward poses, man was I drunk!
This is my tattoo of two magpies done by Padz at Lucky 13 Tattoo Studio in Barnsley, UK. You can find them on Facebook if you want to check out more of his amazing work.The tattoo is at the top of my back, between my shoulder blades. They were designed by my talented sister, Bronte (ikneeltothegodofmischief.tumblr.com). I absolutely love how they came out, they’re perfect.
badteenagekicks submitted this photo with the comment “I went for the Australian horror flick look so that you might imagine a giant razorback or deranged alcoholic rampaging into shot at any second.”
This is an up-tree pose we haven’t seen before and I like it. I may be slightly biased because this is a very Australian looking scene (the landscape, not the girl flung over a tree trunk) and it makes me feel patriotic. It’s probably wrong that I feel patriotic about a photo of someone pretending to be dead but I’m not interested in the Olympics (all that sport!) and I feel I should support my country somehow.
The up-tree doesn’t look overly goth but there’s a dark dress, some boots and she made some horror flick references so I’m going to post it anyway. She’s high up the tree and I doubt she’s smiling. It’s day time but deranged alcoholic serial killers are most active during the day light.
3.8 out of 5 - If goths posing up trees was an olympic sport I’d watch the shit out of it.
watch out for those deranged Australian alcoholic serial killers
