due to volcanic activity in the area, sulfer and calcium carbonate minerals mix in the water to produce a particularly stunning colour of Cyan blue.

I think the Selenitic Spaceship is one of the more curious anachronisms in Myst, but it’s definitely iconic- the moment I see any sort of retro-futuristic spaceship with tail fins, I think of Myst.

Despite being at Wild Wild West Con this weekend, I can’t escape finding stuff this blog- granted, the whole of Arizona looks like the Cleft, but the San Xavier del Bac mission is especially bringin’ it in the Myst department.
Hey guys-
Pardon the slow posts as of late! I’m prepping for my table at Emerald City Comicon (booth #107, come say hi!), so I haven’t had as much time to invest in Mystic Places and freshen up the queue. I have a ton of posts on the backlog, just have to source them all and make them presentable for all you fine folks. :)
Thanks for your patience and expect a deluge of posts later this month,
-Mystic Places

Never mind everyone, I was given all the answer I need by laughingpineapple! Thanks again! :D
I know you got the answer you’re looking for, but I just wanted to step in and say how flattered I am that my blog made you reconsider the series! I can’t speak well enough of Riven in particular and, as laughingpineapple pointed out, it’s amazingly easy to get your hands on it now. There was a period of drought when all of us were keeping old Macs around just so we could run Myst games, so it’s fantastic to have them made available to an entirely new generation of gamers.
Let us know what you think once you dive in,

Carsten Peter, Hang Son Doong, 2011
At a mammoth 2.5 miles long, 330ft wide and almost 800ft high, Hang Son Doong also known as Mountain River Cave, is as high as 25 double decker buses.
…Well, I guess someone found D’ni. That was easy.
I’ve had several people submit various links/versions of Hang Son Doong over the past few days, so I’m just going to reblog it because it is still AMAZING.
