ABES Teaching Pictures 6

This book, Australian Backyard Earth Scientist, is now out.


While I was writing the Teachers' Notes, it occurred to me that large format copies of some of the pictures that I used there could be helpful, so I have tested, and found that most services smallify pics horribly, or gouge the owner for sharing stuff for free.

I pulled out all the pictures I might use, and put them in a folder, then I decided to make the used shots available in three sets.

Then I looked at the others and thought, hey, I've been collecting nice geology for yonks, so I'll share the best ones of the discards as well. This is the third of those bonus sets.   I retain all copyright, but note the following let-out:


This Creative Commons copyright allows non-commercial use in any form, with attribution and share-alike.

 
Most of the images will look huge on the blog page, because they are all inserted as "original size" which means they will normally come out as 1600 x 1200 (some images are older and smaller format). Titles appear under the images: to get any picture onto your computer, right-click and choose "save image as".  The file titles are complex but sufficiently descriptive, while the captions will help.

There are multiple pages:
